After the ending..

They don't always tell you what happens after "The End"... Is there really a happily ever after? Does the frog remain a prince? Does the young girl enjoy being a dutiful princess? Did the shoe really fit the right girl? How are we to know if the so-called "happily ever after" is really happy? We don't know what goes on behind those thick castle walls that block outsiders from looking in. We don't always know whether the evil person really perished or if they might return to take revenge. Sure, a story might end in "...and they all lived happily ever after...". How are we to know how long that "after" lasts? That could simply mean a few days or months. We never know what the next day holds. Anything could happen to change that happily ever after that we hold so dear. Make sure that you know what you want your "after" to consist of. And go make it happen.
