#tragedies

I think the best part about tragedies is the internal ticking clock that you have in your head when you watch a tragedy. Counting down every single second till the event happens that makes it a tragedy. Where a part of you unconsciously hopes that things will be different this time, you can picture and think of all the millions of ways it is different and ends happy. But of course, it doesn't end that way because you've seen this a million times. Because it's a tragedy and tragedies end like this. And than the moment happens and it makes you want to go back to the beginning and start the internal ticking clock again for more time. If a tragedy doesn't have you imagine a ticking clock in your head, than I'm sorry that's not a good tragedy.
