Narrative

A narrative is a story that is created in a constructive format (as a work of speech, writing, song, film, television, video games, photography or theatre) that describes a sequence of fictional or non-fictional events.

Narrative is simply the general term for telling a story. Along with exposition, argumentation and description, narration is one of the four rhetorical modes of discourse & is the friction-writing mode whereby the narrator communicates directly to the audience.
