Explain it in three lines
Explain it in three lines
A summary in three sentences is pretty difficult. The premise of this story and the question that begins it - "what would you do if you had one more night?" directly engages with the thoughts most readers have had in their own lives. It's a popular question from youth to mature adulthood: "If you had one last day on Earth, how would you spend it?" The story is very short, and so it's ability to engage with its readership right away is key to its success.
