Every Story

predictable is a plot

In every story ever read: things are fine, but problems ahead. Something happens to the status quo. An issue rises to change life’s flow. So the protagonist ( hero, good guy ), who was ’till then just getting by, rises up to save the day. Well, perhaps, with some delay.

Our reluctant hero must prepare: put on tights or do his hair. Then goes about a set of tasks, growling at villains wearing masks. This leads to a mighty showdown. Put up your dukes, g’outta town. Despite setbacks, our hero prevail—otherwise, there’d be no tale.
