2. These violence-hub stories do not have a single solution like the adventure maze or a refusal of resolution like the postmodern stories; instead, they combine a clear sense of story structure with a multiplicity of meaningful plots. The navigation of the labyrinth is like pacing the floor; a physical manifestation of the effort to come to terms with the trauma, it represents the mind's repeated efforts to keep returning to a shocking event in an effort to absorb it and, finally, get past it. (Murray, page 136)
 

Murray explores the structure and use of a “violence-hub” story, which is a story told from multiple accounts of a violent event. Murray compares these violence-hub stories to the mind, noting that the pacing and direction always lead to the trauma, mimicking how the mind thinks and leads to the same destination of confronting the situation (136).
