Zingers!

 Zingers!!!
Zingers are defined as “endings that ZING the reader so he/she is:
surprised, 
provoked to think about, 
or made to laugh or cry.”
Is the ending to your story a ZINGER?  

If not, how can you rewrite the ending so it becomes a zinger?

Ask yourself this:  
Will my audience be surprised by this ending?  
Will my audience be provoked to think about something?  
Will my audience laugh or cry because of this conclusion?

If you cannot say yes to at least one of these questions, you might want to rewrite your ending.
