The events of The Escort, a short story, take place in the span of a few hours during a strange night and center on two central characters. It’s a kinetic novel, although there are several branching paths and two possible conclusions. The conclusion isn’t set in stone, and you can guide the characters through the story. However, the structure of the story is pretty much set in stone. This is one of those stories that flows nicely, and the characters seem to intertwine with each other naturally.
