Resolved, Open, or Twist: Choose Your Ending

You've reached the end and don't know whether to tie it off, leave it open, or pull a reversal. Give it your situation and central question and it writes all three: a resolved ending, an open one, a twist, each as a sample final paragraph of about fifty words. Read them side by side and pick the one that fits the story you wrote.

My short story ends with this situation: {ENDING_SITUATION}. The story's central question is: {CENTRAL_QUESTION}. Compare three ending types for my story: (1) Resolved -- the central question is answered and the character arc closes. (2) Open -- the situation is left ambiguous, trusting the reader. (3) Twist -- a final reversal reframes everything. For each, write a sample final paragraph of approximately 50 words using my ending situation. Then recommend which ending type best serves the emotional truth of this story, citing the specific risk of each alternative.
