I'm going to tell you the story about the geese which fly 5,000 miles from Canada to France. They fly in V-formation but the second ones don't fly. They're the subs for the first ones. And then the second ones take over - so it's teamwork.
No one can possibly know what is about to happen: it is happening, each time, for the first time, for the only time.
Good fiction is made of that which is real, and reality is difficult to come by.
