Sometimes, I miss things.

Just remembered this...
During my senior year of high school, my English class read a novella. The book's final scene includes the main character wading out into the ocean and drowning herself.

So when, in class that following Monday, I started talking about how the protagonist went for a nighttime swim, leaving the audience to guess about her future, I got some looks.

The book never said she drowned! It just said she waded out there and never mentioned her coming back, but I figured the story ended while she was still swimming.

Oops.
