Story structure

But can also be very simple.

Local Man: What could possibly go wrong?!
Narrator: Now that we’ve established the location and the characters, we move on to the middle of our story.
Uh oh! Looks like these people aren’t the only ones who, like the funfair. Things could get messy!
Local Man: Wait my darling I will protect you!
Narrator: Oh no, the monsters have scared everyone out of the funfair!
The once beautiful place of fun is now, a place of crazy monster madness!
