happen. Suspense or cliffhanger is an artistic device, a plot, or narrative device, in which the end is  curiously abrupt so that the protagonist is left in a difficult situation without offering any resolution of conflicts. To be in a state of suspense is to be uncertain about the future and have an emotional stake in what will unwind. Screenplay writers and fiction writers commonly use suspense as a plot device, creating a series of cliffhangers that keep people reading the book or watching the film. Indeed, suspense provides the feelings of both tension and anticipation. It often involves surprise, characters may do the unexpected, situations may quickly take a turn for the better or worse, or a plot line may have a clever twist. Creators of suspense must maintain a heightened sense of discomfort or discordance in their stories, and often attempt to end a story unpredictably. Apart from tension experiences on the level of the plot, tension can also be induced on more micro-structural levels of a text.
