Heya folks!
Ah, the tragedy. Sometimes... it's not so escapist in our larger than life fictitious spaces. 😞 But when a good yarn is a good yarn, it could make for experiences, characters, and imagery that linger on in the mind, in the veins beneath the skin. *nod* Something like that.
SO what are some not-happy story endings that served as great, if bittersweet, closers to their chapter? ^^'
I, for one, must raise Flowers for Algernon... one of the most crushing, but resonant, turns of phrase this side of the century.
