Every story should have a tidy end..

So many books start with a great deal of promise

Of having a unique story, an interesting premise

The first few chapters seem to plant the seed

Of a good story, intrigued, you continue to read

Midway through the book the plot thickens and there are

Multiple threads that extend in different directions quite far

From the overarching theme- you hope those tangled threads

Would be unraveled by the time you have read

The entire book- so you keep reading until the end is reached

But you feel let down, as if your trust in the book has been breached

Because the story leaves loose ends hanging everywhere

The tidy conclusion you had hoped for is simply not there!

Some people read from a literary point of view

And like to analyze and derive their own conclusions too

I, on the other hand, want the story to be complete

I want the author to tie all loose ends in a manner neat

I like a story that has an ending well-defined

I do not want to over-exercise my mind

There is uncertainty in life but I read

To escape from the vagaries of life indeed

Therefore I want to read stories which do not make me guess

As a reader I do not want to deal with that stress..
