If you’ve ever doubted the power of endings, consider how often we expect “happily ever after” and forget that we were told “once upon a time”.
If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story. ~ Orson Welles

Michael O’Donaghue, erstwhile staff writer for SNL, once suggested in a brilliant little essay titled “How to Write Good” that endings are overrated. Every poem, story, and essay, in his opinion, should end with “And suddenly everyone was run over by a large truck.”
