CONFLICT!

person vs. self: Tom's realization that he wasted his life
person vs. self: Tom froze up and panicked on the ledge, although he knew that he had to keep moving.
person vs. nature: Tom Benecke vs. wind [the wind blew his paper out of the window]
person vs. nature/environment: Tom had to break the window or stay out on the ledge.

Exposition: Tom Benecke lives in an apartment in New York City with his wife, Clare. He works very hard to rise in his company and writes all of his research and observations on a piece of yellow paper.

Rising Action: The wind blew the paper out of the window. Tom climbed out of the window to retrieve the paper. Tom tries to reach for the paper and almost falls because he looked down and saw how far above the ground he was. He realizes that he has been wasting his life and keeps scaling the building. He drops several objects, trying to catch someone's attention to no avail.

Climax: Tom breaks the window, putting his life on the line, because if the window does not break, he will fall backwards, off of the ledge.

Declining Action: Tom gets back into the apartment and returns his paper to his desk, putting a pencil on top of it as a weight.

Resolution: The paper blows out of the window and Tom laughs, walking out the door.
