I'm reading some short stories from a fiction anthology and they don't end, they hang, and leave you with a sense of wonder and "what happens next".
Not sure I like that.
I feel sort of mislead, like it should have an ending even if it isn't "happily ever after".
It's sort of like finishing the story for the author, the main reason why I didn't like the ending of "Cast Away" - he is standing at the crossroads and you have to guess which road he picks. After going through everything with him I feel I'm entitled to know!
How do you feel about being left hanging? Do your stories end?
