2. This is the story about a boy who died.
(saying to others how peaceful he is at heart)
1. What peace I have.
2. What a peace I have.
(telling others in a narrative fashion and starting the story with this sentence)

2. This is the story about a boy who died.
(saying to others how peaceful he is at heart)
1. What peace I have.
2. What a peace I have.

Hi, 1. This is a story about a boy who died. The simple past tense in stories is more reasonable to me.
- Hi, 1.
- This is a story about a boy who died.
- The simple past tense in stories is more reasonable to me.
- 2.
- What a peaceful attitude I have!

Hi,
1. This is a story about a boy who died. The simple past tense in stories is more reasonable to me.
2. What a peaceful attitude I have! You can't say 'What peace I have' because it doesn't make sense.
Regards

No, you can say, "What peace I have." It makes perfect sense. It's expressing the great magnitude of peace the speaker is feeling.
