End Your Story 🟪 Don’t drag your story out. End it soon after the main action is completed or the problem is addressed for good. Remember that not every story has to have a happy ending.

With just 30 seconds of fuel left, the lander touched ground. “Contact light!” Armstrong said, shutting off the engines. “The Eagle has landed.”

The astronauts began preparations for their moon walk.

While they worked, Aldrin radioed Earth: “This is the LM pilot. I’d like to take this opportunity to ask every person listening in, whoever and wherever they may be, to pause for a moment and contemplate the events of the past few hours and to give thanks in his or her own way.”

At last, they were ready for their moon walk. The capsule depressurized. Armstrong opened the hatch and slowly descended the ladder.

As he took his first step onto the lunar surface, he said words broadcast to half a billion viewers across the world: “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”
