In medias res

It all begins once upon a time

and then she picks up a tea cup,

tells him it’s all over, she’s leaving

He asks if she’s open to think it over, but

her mind is made up and she quotes 

a line she once read, “ I left a long

time ago, but you never noticed.”

That’s a good final line and the author

adds a period leaving a reader to wonder

what she will do, where she’ll go and if

the author will write a sequel.
