The good guy almost always loses

Austin just shared an observation with me. He pointed out that the good guy almost aways gets in a situation where it looks like he's totally lost. But then at the last moment something changes and he wins and the bad guy can't believe it. I shared with him that this was a classic aspect of most modern story telling. We then explored several other stories that he's familiar with that all shared that common pattern.

Now I want to go look up other story patterns and share with him :)
