Hamid: I just finished a really good book. I thought the characters were Headed toward a Tragic ending, but there was a Twist near the end, and everything turned out well. It was so Satisfying!
Rachel: It sounds Sappy to me.
Hamid: It wasn’t sappy at all. It was just a happy ending. I know what you like. You like those Disaster movies with Catastrophic Endings where everyone dies.
Rachel: At least that would be more Realistic than everyone living Happily ever after. I just saw the Series finale of my favorite TV show. You know what they did? They ended the series with a Cliffhanger. Nothing was Resolved.
Hamid: That’s horrible! How could they Leave people hanging like that? Weren’t you just a little mad?
Rachel: No, I wasn’t. The ending Stayed true to the Spirit of the show. It was a Dark show and the ending was equally dark.
Hamid: Well, I bet they ended the series that way so they could make a movie Sequel.
Rachel: Yeah, maybe, but I don’t care Either way. Life doesn’t end neatly and neither should a good story.
Hamid: Remind me never to read any stories you write or any movies you make!
