- The ultimate twentieth century parable of abandonement is Stephen King's The Stand (1978).
A parable is a brief, succinct story, in prose or verse, that illustrates a moral or religious lesson. It differs from a fable in excluding animals, plants, inanimate objects, and forces of nature as actors that assume speech and other powers of mankind.
