@fbd8d4b4 The best advice I can give about writing a short story is that it's a little like writing an essay. It doesn't feel like it, but the ending should still answer a question set out in the beginning, or satisfy some promise. If you're struggling with the ending, have a sit down and think about what your story is about, and write something that shows how the story captured that at the end.

After I've written a story, I usually go back to the first and last paragraphs and tighten them up>
