===Rising Action===

With the conflict in motion, other factors come in to complicate it: secondary conflicts, obstacles, antagonistic characters, so forth and so on. During this part of the story, lesser antagonists and side problems can be introduced to make the characters closer to the core conflict of the story.

''I had to get out of the apartment! Of course, the elevator wasn't working, so I had to take the stairs down. After what felt like an eternity, I made it down to the lobby.
