Walking around the corner one can be greeted by an unexpected encounter, even though it might be a trusted environment. This rhetoric device is a basic tool used to give a description of change, and to build suspense, or rather to start a character turn in perspective. Partiticularly, If you say that something is around the corner, you mean that it will happen very soon.

It can also be a way to flee an uneasy situation, by looking for comfort in a welcoming place – or more commonly – be part of an ordinary route, that in its sameness, can be more alarming than the former. To prolong it even further, apply somewhat elusive terms, that spark enough interest to continue for the next paragraphs:

„Lured by the mute sounds of deaf objects, at the turn of the corner, that anticipated what is to come, the protagonists were startled by […]“ ,
which could narrate the looming possibiliity of being suddenly plunged from one situation into the next – if it wouldn’t circle around unresolved.

The reader is already tired by the stalling, understandably so, since it appears to poke fun at common techniques, which are established to communicate with an audience, that wants to fill in the blank themselves.
The author, feeling wrongfully accused, expresses regret, and the need to clarify that it stems from a complete inability to adjust properly to the norms of linear storytelling. As a matter of fact, the stage is already set to be approached openly, since the subject and I walk out together not any wiser. On cue, a laugh track fills the background with silence, to smooth over the failed attempt of not-giving-away-too-much. Apparently, still wanting to convey possible openings of the general themes before one, by doing so.
