Non sequitur (literary device)

Non sequitur is a fancy way of saying that something doesn't make sense or doesn't follow logically. Imagine you're telling a story about a cat who chases a bird, and suddenly you say, "I like ice cream." That doesn't really fit with the story about the cat and the bird, and it's a non sequitur. In books or movies, sometimes authors or filmmakers use non sequiturs to surprise the audience or to create a sense of confusion. But mostly, it's just a silly way of saying that something doesn't make sense in a story or conversation.
