in informal usage, story is a synonym for narrative. In narratology, the “story” level of narrative (in French, histoire) corresponds to what Russian Formalist theorists called the fabula; it contrasts with the “discourse” (discours) level [or syuzhet]. In this sense, story refers to the chronological sequence of situations and events that can be reconstructed on the basis of cues provided in a narrative text. (Herman 2009, p.193)
a chronological, cause-and-effect chain of events occurring within a given duration and a spatial field. (Bordwell 2004)
