Story #1: What's a title? What's a name?

Once upon at time there was a guard who kept a girl from writing her story.
The trauma stayed with her forever.
She was locked in the castle of her untold story.
She very nearly went insane.
Insane was the town she grew up in.
Her strong commitment to sanity kept her form going back.
She and Sanity had gotten secretly married behind her parent's back.
Sanity was indeed the man of her dreams.
He rode horses not unicorns, and he was buff.
Wait! we just realized - she doesn't have a name!
Sanity lamented this over and over.
Actually, she had somebody else's name and that's why she refused to use it.
That name was Sense + Logic.
"Who the F gave her that name?!", said Sanity.
Sanity secretly went to a judge and filed for a name change.
Meanwhile, the girl wanted to tear down the castle of her untold story.
She hired a team of workers to help her with her project.
It was the three little pigs.
And the Big Bad Wolf.
Sanity couldn't believe it.
Sanity rushed home to save the girl from herself.
"You don't need to do that; I have a new name for you, to free you!", screamed Sanity.

"You don't understand!", she said.
 "Of course I don't!", said Sanity.
"But I do.", said the littlest of the Three Little Pigs.
"And you know why? Because I've had the same experience.", he continued.
Tears began rolling down his cheeks.
"Nobody would listen to me, so I let them destroy my house, my dreams."
Sanity shook his head in disbelief as the girl and the Littlest Pig hugged.
"I thought I knew everything, I thought I knew the truth, but I didn't and I don't know yet.", said Sanity.
"I'm breaking up with you!", cried the girl hysterically.
"You'll never believe me, Sanity; you can't imagine what happened because it doesn't make sense.", she proclaimed.
The Littles Pig dropped to one knee, and said, "Will you marry me?"
The girl said, "Do you see me for who I really am, and if you do, then what is my name?"
"But I have your name!", burst out Sanity.
"Because you stole it from me!", countered the girl.
"Are you kidding me!", shouted Sanity, "I don't steal!"
"Why are we separate?", said the girl quietly, "Why are you against me?"
"I am so confused", muttered Sanity.
"Finally!", said the girl, "Now you finally understand what it feels like, you bastard!""
Do you realize that you've never been confused even once in all the time that I've known you."
The Little Pig spoke up, and said, "But I've been watching her and I could see her confusion the whole time; I understand her."
"So what's your point?", said Sanity rudely.
"That you have to be an animal to understand what it's like to be treated like one, live like one.", said the Little Pig.
"Wait", said Sanity to the girl, "I thought you were human."
"I am", said the girl, "but I have lived many lives, many stories in my lifetime."
"I'm done here.", said Sanity, "I refuse to have a conversation with a pig."
"That's your problem Sanity", Said the Little Pig, "if I'm an animal, how is it that I'm talking, stupid?"
The end
"For now", said The end.

Ending  2
"Now I'm confused", said the girl.
"I went to the judge and got your name changed", said Sanity.
"So you know me who I really am?", whispered the girl, hopefully.
"Yes", said Sanity somberly.
"Is it over? All the badness and confusion?", asked the girl.
"It really is", said Sanity, "Forever.
"Now I can write my own story. And I need to.", said the girl, "Will you help me?"
Sanity handed her a manila envelope. "Here", he said, "Here's the answer to your question."
She was both afraid and excited to open it.
With trembling hands she opened the envelope and drew out an official-looking document.
It declared her the official storyteller of her life and gave her a beautiful name.
"Hopeful Dreams" was the name it said, stupid.
"You can't argue that", said all the three little pigs
Even the Big Bad Wolf wiped away a tear.
"Can I be in your story?", he asked the girl.
The girl flung her arms around Sanity with joy.
"The rest of you can be characters in my story, but Sanity is the man of my dreams."
The end, stupid
