it was “the last part of the driver’s test”. The story seemed to be about a regular guy and his mother getting into a car accident—there was nothing that indicated otherwise. Robert processed information like he normally would, describing what he sees, hears, smells, and feels. Lastly, the uniformed man who hypnotized Robert calls him sick and says that he needs treatment. Just as Robert thinks that he was done being messed with and that he can finally get his licence, they spring this on him. He gets dragged away with the promise that he will be fixed. These two plot twists were also placed close together. As the readers were still reeling from the first blow, the second blow happens immediately after. In “Test”, the author places the plot twists in a way that makes them more unexpected and more effective.
