Narrative Structure

This narrative begins at the equilibrium which is a party scene. This scene will include many people dancing and drinking and having fun. This scene will set off a normal atmosphere.

The disruption then occurs in the following scenes, while at the party, the boyfriend comes to an understanding that his girlfriend is cheating on him, but this issue is not confronted. The protagonist is walking home from the party with her boyfriend, as they reach the house they say goodbye. The girl (protagonist) then approaches the house, turns around and her boyfriend has vanished.

The recognition of disruption is when she arrives home she receives a phone call from an unknown person. They know details about her such as where she has just come from and what she’s wearing. Random events begin to occur, such as doors, windows slamming and objects falling.

The final attempt to return to equilibrium she confronts the antagonist who turns out to be her boyfriend.
