Frank is a full stop, and he acts exactly like a full stop should. He splits up sentences that get too long. He never shouts. And he never asks questions. But what if Frank decides to stop acting like a full stop? What would happen then?

But what if Frank decides to stop acting like a full stop? How will the story ever end ...
