It's just not like that! There is no script, no director screaming Cut! *Now let's do it again this time, with meaning?* There is no early warning of subterfuge or lightly dropped, not so hidden clues No instantly in 'five minutes' guessed plots because all expectancy needs to fit inside a predetermined time slot There is no Boy meets Girl Girl hates Boy Boy doesn't understand why? Boy realises on page 106 why Girl hates him and spends 87 pages delving within his own psyche as he rides his motorbike on the edge of Life he will crash, most like Ever wonder why sequels are never "as good as the original" Because questions were answered at the end and everything that went unanswered never begged the question Of course, you say, it will never be just like a book or a movie or even those ****** 'Made for Television' series because each and every one is just a captured moment in time Depicting just one heartbeat out of so many millions that skittered out of line
