The Lady or the Tiger? (Ending) -Reason

The reason why I chose this ending was to give the story a twist. I wanted to show the readers how badly emotions could affect you. I made the young man die as I wanted to princess to feel emotionly painful. The princess eventually killed the king as she couldn't forgive him for what he had done. I personally think that sad endings make a bigger impact on the readers as it would keep them thinking about the story over and over again. That is why I chose a sad ending and I wanted the readers to learn something from this ending. Never underestimate the power of love.

The Lady or the Tiger? (Ending)

The young man's heart was thumping fast. Two doors, one choice. The Lady or the Tiger. He thought hard for a moment and followed his insticts. Finally, the right door was chosen.

The young man held his breath. Fate was coming. To his horror, a loud roar was heard. "A tiger! Oh no!" the young man exclaimed. It charged out of the door, staring at its prey. The young man was shocked beyond words. Death was all he could think of. 'I'm sorry..' The young man closed his eyes, for his life was over.

"No!!" The princess broke down into tears as she watched the young man being eaten alive. She couldn't take it anymore, for the love of her life was gone forever. The princess let her emotions take control of her. She ran up to the king, whipped out a knife and stabbed it in the kings throat. Then she pulled out the knife and did the same to herelf. She dropped dead to the ground, as she had commited suicide.

Everyone was stunned. From what seemed to be an entertainment, turned out to be a horrific incident. No-one had expected this to happen. Very soon, a command was made to tell everyone to leave the arena then. When everyone had disappeared, the whole area was cleared up. Everyone couldn't imagine the king dead. No-one could deny the fact that it was love that had caused it all.

Journal according to detective

Dear Diary,

Things haven't been doing well lately. Today, we had another crime to solve: a case of a murder. Mrs Maloney called the policestation one night reporting about her husbands death.

We arrived at their house and saw Patrick, her husband, lying on the ground dead. The whole room was in a mess and we checked around the place to find any clues. I questioned her about what happened and she told me that when she came back from the grocery shop, she saw her husband dead on the floor. We suspected that he was killed by a blunt weapon as it looked as if he suffered a blow at the back of his head. We then started searching for the weapon, but to no avail. I was suspecting something was wrong with what Mrs Maloney said as it didn't sound right. She could have ben lying. However, I just continued my search again.

As we were tired after trying to search for clues, Mrs Maloney offered all of us a lamb to eat as she knew we were hungry at suppertime. We ate it and discussed about the whole case. Everyone knew there was something wrong with the case but couldn't figure it out. What was the weapon? Who was the murderer? Thoughts raced through my mind.

After eating the lamb, I stayed back to check around the house. I gave up finding after three solid hours and went back home. I really hope the case would be solved tomorrow when I go back there again.
