Clarity is key
However you’re planning to draw your short story/novel to a close, make it clear. It’s no good having a character who’s been killed off earlier on in the story suddenly turning up at the end alive and well without any explanation. As the writer, you know exactly what’s gone on but your readers need to as well. If you don’t tie up all the loose ends, you leave them feeling confused and let down.
