the other lit term "remix"

 A solid combination of sleep deprivation, split eardrums, and pure unadulterated angst, I though with my lovely teenage mind, now a day with all the fancy remixes, it would be novel to post simple definitions to remix the expectation of  remix.

expressionism: distorting moods or ideas to display a message of moral, usually found in art.

fable: a short story usually made to entertain or pass legend or myth on to a new audience.
