“Further” and “farther” often are mistaken for each other in much the same way that “comprise” and “compose” are. It’s understandable; “further” and “farther” are separated only by a single vowel. Despite that small separation, the two words are intended for different uses.

Stories, Rhythm, and Pace
Stories have a rhythm to them. They have their characters, usually the protagonist and the antagonist. They have their devices: repetition, foreshadow, metaphor. They have their climaxes and anti-climaxes. Depending on the type of story, the story might have a moral to it – think Aesop’s Fables – or it might cause a reader to understand a culture, a way of thought, a product, or a service. Yes, stories have a rhythm.
