I’m approaching the completion of a short story I’ve written. The story includes a bit of world building in the first part, but the story ends abruptly and an underlying conflict included in the world building never sees a conclusion.
I’m torn because I like the idea of the abrupt ending with many things that aren’t the main focus of the story left unanswered. However I don’t know if that would be unsatisfactory to a reader.
Do you think a short story needs an epilogue? Especially in the circumstances listed above.
