Ever wonder what the first story was? Maybe it was a Diplodocus returning from with some plants for its mates, looking horrified:
“So, you’ll never believe this. I was at our usual patch, getting some of our favourites for dinner and I saw one of those giants, you know, Tyrannosaurus… she marched right up to Edmond and well… she completely devoured him. I’m not sure she even chewed. I didn’t hang around but what a world we live in. Couldn’t have imagined this happening in the 90s!”
It probably wasn’t but the great thing about stories is that they’re whatever you want them to be. With Storytelling with Puck 2025 stories, you get to tell a story that fires our imaginations into overdrive and the Puck Creations team will curate them all right here. Check out each one below:

My phone beeped - incoming message. It was latish evening Friday 19th October 2018. The message pretty much said -
‘You’ve got 7 days - are you in?’
At first glance, displaying only charm
No-one knew the extent of the harm
One man could cause with just his arm
To cheering crowds, screams and whoops...
