Some of my stories have all of the makings of a Shakespearean Tragedy. All of my Tragedy's have a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning usually starts out with hope and promise, the middle becomes filled with doubt because of lies and cheating, and a long, painful end that is filled with regret.
When the Final Act has reached it's conclusion, the play (and the Tragedy) should be over. Unfortunately for me, the Final Act is not over until long after the curtain has dropped. In my last Tragedy, I tried to perform one last decent, thoughtful act (and I really overplayed it which is completely all on me) and it somehow managed to blow up in my face.
I guess the Final Act is really not over until the curtain catches on fire and the theatre burns to the ground. That would be a true "Dan Tragedy."
