What is sudden ending in a story?

Answer 1

An open ending is an ending to a story or novel where not all of the details are wrapped up and leave the reader wondering how it will end. The story ends in a cliffhanger or nail biter, where the readers long to discover what happens next. Most people prefer a closed ending where it has a proper ending and you know all the details.

Answer 2

I think you mean a "trick" ending - an ending that changes what you thought was either going to happen, or changes the meaning of what did happen.

While it is not an "official" term, screenwriters and crime or mystery novelists sometimes use a trick ending as a final surprise to show "what really happened" for the audience.

Answer 3

A sudden ending in a story is when the narrative concludes abruptly, often leaving loose ends untied and leaving the reader with unanswered questions. This type of ending can create a sense of surprise or shock, but can also leave readers feeling unsatisfied if not executed effectively.
