Types of fiction with multiple endings

Okay kiddo, when we talk about types of fiction with multiple endings, we mean stories that can have different outcomes or conclusions depending on what choices the reader or player makes.

You know when you play choose-your-own-adventure books or video games? They are great examples of this type of fiction. Basically, instead of being told what happens next, you get to decide what the character does in the story.

For instance, let's say the character is lost in the woods and you have to decide whether they turn left or right. Depending on which way you choose, the story takes a different path and the character might end up finding their way home or getting even more lost.

Another example is interactive movies or games where you make choices that affect the story's direction. That's pretty much like choose your own adventure stories but in video form. So, for instance, you can choose how one of the lead characters reacts to something or what they say to another character. Depending on what you choose, the story will take a different turn and the ending might be completely different from the one you would have gotten if you had made different choices.

So, that's what types of fiction with multiple endings mean, kiddo. It's all about having the power to shape the story and its outcome based on what you choose to do or say. Pretty neat, huh?
