A story in which neither the protagonists nor the reader knows the whys and wherefores of what is happening. What is happening is that a couple are in a loop, visiting schools, armed to the teeth, ready the wreak bloody death, and risking (and often getting) bloody death, after which they simply find themselves in another school. As an opening to a longer story it would be fine enough, but imagine watching the first 15 minutes of ‘Source Code’ and the film ending there, with you still very much in the dark!
