But what’s the falling action and why does it matter?

Here are a few things the falling action should accomplish:

Address the aftermath of the climax

The climax is a big moment that ha...

Welcome to Andover… where superpowers are common, but internships are complicated. Just ask high school nobody, Jessica Tran. Despite her heroic lineage, Jess is resigned to a life without superpowers and is merely looking to beef-up her college applications when she stumbles upon the perfect (paid!) internship—only it turns out to be for the town’s most heinous supervillain.

If the wrong reader comes across the words, they will remain just words.
