To keep the reader reading. Tension arises where there is a risk for the characters in the story, and uncertainty as to some aspect of the outcome. The reader is induced to keep reading because he cares about what happens to the characters, and wants to know whether the character will avoid the risk, or how he or she will avoid the risk, as the genre usually dictates whether the main character will ultimately succeed.
