My goal was to try and create a story that made the audience think. I think that a story deserves to be thought-over even after you've finished reading it. How many times did it take people to realize the story behind 2001: A Space Odyssey? I'm glad that I let the audience have interest build up over time, but my goal was to make the audience think, ask questions, and come up with ideas behind the ending.
