  Are the stories going to be 'general' stories, meaning other objects 
(whatever) on other maps may use them?  If so, then a stories directory may be 
appropriate (OTOH, we already have a messages file - wonder if it would be 
better to extend that logic to cover types of messages/where they show up).

  If these stories will be unique to the object, then they should be associated 
with that object/script, and not clutter up the lib directory (presumably that 
is where the stories will be stored in CVS at least).
