this is by far my favorite format for beginning a story. i love being thrown into the middle of a story w/no idea what is going on.

it is fun to try and figure out how they got there. it is even more fun to be wrong and have everything you thought you had figured out turned on its ear.

that is what makes stories like SW:ANH and Lost so much fun.

Homer and Sophocles like in medias res too!
