In this novella, the “protagonist” wins cause his visions come true. But what should happen to his “driver” who was disadvantaged by birth and other similar characters who were just following orders. Are plot twists too on the nose these days?

    Some stories end with that last conversation between the villain and the hero. "Well, you've won. You've outsmarted me again. I guess I couldn't triumph after all."

    There's all kinds of things wrong with this movie - but it stands out in my memory for actually having a scene where the hero and the villain actually attempt to come to terms.

    He vanishes on the horizon and no one has seen him since.
