There is, in other words, such a thing in this world as narrative construction. But evidently not in this particular corner of Boarding Area.
Who ever heard of starting a story and then not finishing it?
George R. R. Martin, apparently!
But I'm not sure why you say the story didn't have a conclusion. Did you click on the link to the original blog post with the whole story where the ending is included (not that it's a terribly exciting resolution, if you were expecting arrests and high drama
)? The post the other day only partially referenced back to the original story.
