Welcome to The Story Stays Previously Waffle-Free Storytelling (then StoryRiverFables for a while). I'm like a chameleon in a paintbox... can't quite make up my mind. The name has changed, but the vibe hasn't. This show is all story... no waffle. The original name came about while I was looking for a story show, and all I could find at the time were shows that had a story... but you had to wade through minutes and minutes of jibber-fabber! "Enough of the waffle!!" I yelled to the four walls... and Waffle-Free Storytelling was born. NO WAFFLE! No rambling introduction, no jibber-jabber. A waffle-free story still gets straight to the point: story and nothing but. What you take from it is all yours. The tales are 3 to 17 minutes long and, except for a few traditional stories or ones delivered by one of my amazing guests, are written and told by yours truly (Tina Konstant). The tales are all fable’ish, myth’ish, fairytale’ish, and entirely human (zero AI... I repeat - NO A.I.). Welcome to the place where coffee breaks become mini adventures, headphones become front-row seats, and truth is told through stories. See you on the flipside, you wild, glorious human being.

    The End of Inconvenience
    31 Oct 2026
    Welcome to The Story Stays (previously Waffle-Free Storytelling)

    I'm not sure what to make of this tale. On one hand, maybe it's about the plan Mother Nature has for the world (that doesn't include us). Or maybe, on a more sinister note, it's about the powers that be slowly and subtly taking us over. Or maybe it's about the downfall of patriarchy. I don't know. I'll let you decide.

    With all that in mind, get comfy, brew a mug of something delicious, put your feet up, and join me for a moment.

    When the story's done, feel free to enjoy the rest of the site (https://tinakonstant.com/) for more stories and other stuff and nonsense.

    Turning The Tide

    Welcome to The Story Stays (previously Waffle-Free Storytelling)

    I've noticed the current trend in Story Stays! Every story is inspired by something happening in life or in the world, and the current state of Planet Earth and our society is clearly on my mind. This story is about that.

    Get cozy, get comfortable, brew a mug of something delicious, put your feet up, and join me for a moment.

  • How The World Found Peace

    How The World Found Peace
    17 Oct 2026
    Welcome to The Story Stays (previously Waffle-Free Storytelling)

    We are at such a tipping point. It's time for change. And this change isn't coming quietly. We can all see it coming. As with all change, some are fighting for it, some are resistant, and some are watching to see how things will turn out and which side of history they want to be on.

    The original version of this story was too aggressive to share here. It was inspired by the statue placed in the EU's parliament. Art speaks loud.

    There is a plague in the world. Let's hope it passes.

    With all that said... boots on, stand up. Don't wait for things to pan out. Be part of the change. That way, you get an opinion.

    At the very least... please vote. Wherever you live in the world, whatever government is in place, at the very least, please vote.
