I snipped it but you continue to mention the implied characters.
I see what you are talking about now.  I'm willing to overlook the
narrator as a character, and the implied characters are a long
ways from actual characters, so I think I'm willing to admit that
there can be a story without any characters.

OK.  I've given up on that one.  I have another idea.  I think that
the one big theme of literature is man's struggle in this world.
You are going to let me keep that, aren't you?  You wouldn't
take that away from me too, would you?  <g>


Ah, I'm definitely trying to learn, rather than lecture.  :-)
