By this logic, it seems that a recipe is a story. (Maybe that's intentional!)
I'd almost view the definition of a story as more about the intention than about the content—rather like art, which can (arguably) be created simply by the act of presenting it as such (in the sense of "found art" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Found_object )). So too, surely, can one have a "found story".
