Final lines.... - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Well, I've had a good look, and we've had Backward Stories, and First Lines, but I can't find another thread on these lines....

What would be a final line, or (at the most) the two last lines of a story that would make you think: Wow, I wish someone would write that story!?

...and they all lived happily ever after.

Okay, I'll give some serious thought to it.

As his blood pooled around him he realized he really did love that kid.

Talysia · 3rd April 2008, 04:35 PM

On reflection, he realised that getting sidetracked from his important journey had not been a waste of time.

On reflection, he wished he'd saved his personality on mirrored disks.

Urlik · 3rd April 2008, 05:58 PM

Freed at last from his obligations, he realised his journey was just beginning.

Everybody had lied to her. Now she knew the truth, she wished that was a lie too. But there was nobody left who could tell her that.
Somewhere far to the north, a storm was gathering.

To be continued. (naturally...)

And he walked away into new adventure, wiser and with more scabs then when he started this one.

It was then he realized what was going on; that wasn't chicken.

My name's Daniel and I think I'm going to die.

Oh, wait, I'M writing that right now.

Talysia · 5th April 2008, 12:21 PM

As he faced the man who would be his executioner, he couldn't help but wonder if it had been worth it after all.

"Well, I'm back."

Culhwch · 5th April 2008, 01:09 PM

He grinned at his friend. 'Me?' he asked. 'I'm not sure. But there's a girl in Queensport I promised to call on again. I think I shall start there.'
