There’s nothing like a fantasy ending that lingers in my mind longer after I’ve finished it. As a young adult who loves storytelling more than anything, I’ll commonly cite fantasy tales like The Lord of the Rings movie series and the Harry Potter books as the foundation for what’s become my life and career. These stories provide needed escapism while also allowing me introspection and perspective on various aspects of real life, and it’s the narratives that come to an emotional close that have the longest-lasting impact.
