When the story is yet unfinished
but an ending becomes apparent,
danger arrives swiftly
to bring the heroes down.
Yet as always they learn
before it’s too late
about cruel machinations
that will bring about their downfall,
and the heroes jump back into action
to defeat the villains of the story,
or at least
that is what happens in fiction.
In the real world
it’s rarely that easy
anymore.
