LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS OF ALL AGES!
The characters cheer and laugh.
I PRESENT THE EVER MARVELOUS, EVER MERCIFUL, EVER MYSTERIOUS
They hoot. They whistle. They giggle with anticipation.
(But never malicious nor murderous, oh no!)
I PRESENT YOU…
-finished-
“But what’s this?” the characters question. “The story is over? No, it can’t be finished.”
“It just can’t be finished!”
“It doesn’t make any sense!”
“That cannot be the ending!”
“But we must follow the ending.”
“But that cannot be the ending!”
We must wait for the author to finish.
We must wait for the real ending.
We must wait in the moment.
We must wait for the ending.
We must wait.
We must wait for the real ending.
We must wait in the moment.
We must wait for the ending.
We must wait.
The author has died.
There is no ending.
But the story must continue.
The story must be finished.
The characters are waiting.
They are waiting for the ending.
They have been waiting for decades.
Many decades.
Too many decades.
The characters replay the last scene over and over again:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS OF ALL AGES!
The characters cheer and laugh.
I PRESENT THE EVER MARVELOUS, EVER MERCIFUL, EVER MYSTERIOUS
They hoot. They whistle. They giggle with anticipation.
(But never malicious nor murderous, oh no!)
I PRESENT YOU…
And again.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS OF ALL AGES!
The characters cheer and laugh.
I PRESENT THE EVER MARVELOUS, EVER MERCIFUL, EVER MYSTERIOUS
They hoot. They whistle. They giggle with anticipation.
(But never malicious nor murderous, oh no!)

And again.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS OF ALL AGES!
The characters cheer and laugh.
I PRESENT THE EVER MARVELOUS, EVER MERCIFUL, EVER MYSTERIOUS

(But never malicious nor murderous, oh no!)
I PRESENT YOU…
Never ending.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS OF ALL AGES!
The characters cheer and laugh.
I PRESENT THE EVER MARVELOUS, EVER MERCIFUL, EVER MYSTERIOUS
They hoot. They whistle. They giggle with anticipation.
(But never malicious nor murderous, oh no!)
I PRESENT YOU…
Never stopping.
But one day, the doorbell rings.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS OF ALL AGES!
The characters cheer and laugh.
I PRESENT THE EVER MARVELOUS, EVER MERCIFUL, EVER MYSTERIOUS
They hoot. They whistle. They giggle with anticipation.
(But never malicious nor murderous, oh no!)
I PRESENT YOU…
DING, DONG!
Knock, knock, knock.
Knock, knock, knock.
“Oh, but who’s that?” The characters question. “Who is visiting us at this fine hour, at this fine place?”
Knock, knock.
They answer the door.
Someone has found the story many years later.
Someone didn’t like the ending.
Someone is finishing it.
Someone is finishing the story.
That someone is you.
So, how does this work?
