Friday Fantasy Chat: Endings

Endings can be sweet...

As a writer, I can tell you, the beginning of a tale is an author’s best chance to make a good impression. We’re constantly told that we have to make that first sentence our very best.

But sitting here, one day away from the end of August, I’m thinking more about the endings in our lives.

The end of a month, a season, a life cycle, and the series I finished yesterday.

The beginnings in our lives might set our expectations, but the end of things set the emotional tone we’ll remember long afterward.

So tell me, what conclusion, what end, of a fantasy story (book or short story, or even poem) stands out most clearly for you?

Let’s talk about conclusions in the comments!
