Start – 3rd August 2026

Start at the end

and work backwards

like in a mystery

written by a celebrity

Is this and echo

of life where we

start at the end

and work backwards?

They say that it’s best to start at the end when writing a mystery. Figure out who did it, work backwards and install some dead ends. Is it a metaphor for life?
