Read the Science Fiction Thriller

From the founder of Storymind

Man Made follows a mysterious force as it sweeps around the globe erasing anything man made - from buildings, vehicles, and technology to medicines, clothing, and dental work.

Governments stagger under the panic, religions are at a loss for an explanation, scientists strive for any means to stop or divert the phenomenon, and the world’s population from families to individuals struggle to prepare for The Event, which will drive humanity back beyond the stone age.

The Event is coming.

Are you prepared?

Plot - Act Three Middle


Throughout your novel, although the protagonist and antagonist may have come into conflict, there have always been extenuating circumstances that prevented an ultimate conflict.  In the middle of act three, these circumstances are dismantled, one by one, until nothing more stands between these two principal characters.


At the end of this section it is clear that a final face-off is inevitable.


Referring the material you selected for the third act, describe the plot exposition you wish to reveal as the plot picks up speed toward the climax.
