Most stories have a beginning, middle, and end; others simply don't. I guess it depends on when you enter because that's a beginning itself. And with every beginning there's also an ending. Even those sneaky middle parts are full or starts and stops, twist and turns until you're not sure which way is up or down. Sometimes a story is just stuck--someone missed their cue or made a choice that hits pause. So you go back and try the next tunnel, the next door, but it's locked or a dead-end, and you know the first door is still the right one. Do you kick down another one or jump off the cliff in a desperate attempt to move out of Act I? Running to find the plot only to discover there is no script, no beginning, no end.
