Goyagoy-ah

n. A transporting suspension of disbelief - an "as-if" that feels like reality - such as in good storytelling. Goya is the realm of make-believe, of amazing stories that make you forget what you're doing and where you are—stories that give you wings and send you soaring across mountain ranges that you never knew existed or voyaging across oceans even though you don't know how to sail.
