The only way to combat scorpions

Author's name: Fernando Mourinho

When I start writing a story, I just want to write a story. When I write a story, I do my best to make it the best possible work of literature, because I just want to write a story. When I write a story, I never symbolize, I never seek to create a metaphor, I never try to construct any metaphor; I just want to write a story.
When I write a story, I'm not looking to spread moral, spiritual, social, political messages, or anything like that at all; I just want to write a story.
When I write a story, I don't aim to educate the reader, shake him or her morally, change him or her into a new, better person, more worthy of our society, etc.; I simply want to write a story.
In short, when I write a story, my goal is just to write a story.
