We read the endings

Even when I was near, I started to feel longing, as if I were reading the end of the book. It's like an infinitely attentive detective I'm looking at every millimeter of feeling.

that's why I started to walk and talk more quietly. Now the most important events must appear, which will decide the whole plot. And it will become clear whether we liked this book or not.

***

if it was possible to change the events and adjust them so that the endings were more beautiful.

so that fewer positive heroes die. Or, just so that there would be more intrigue and experiences, without sparing either the beautiful or the good. More stalking, suspicion and foul play.

otherwise, you can not read what you don't like, close the book and go to sleep or use half of the hero's life and read further from the place where they live happily and beautifully without any worries.

such as the pair of swans depicted on the bath mat.

***

only books have endings, not life. It seems so only because our lives are too short to see even a fifth, or even a hundredth, of the whole scenario.

when it's sad we call it the end, when it's happy we call it the beginning.

when we don't call anything good, because it makes no sense to call something in any way.
