>I had just read Life of Pi, and one thing I like about that book is that you know the punch line before you even pick up a copy. A boy is stuck with a bengal tiger in a boat. Now that the punch line is out of the way, the story has time to unfold and be interesting in its own merit. That's what I was trying to recreate with my own story.

For me this is a perfect example of what I hate about clickbait.

A boy trapped in a boat with a tiger is interesting. But the rest of the story really wasn't worth the read.
