Hungry endings.

I've just finished reading the Clifford D. Simak's Story, "Junkyard", (May of 1953, Galaxy Magazine), that inspired Dan O'Bannon to write "Starbeast" screenplay, renamed later as "Alien".

At first, I thought it was some error of my epub reader, but then I realized the harsh true: the story had ended.

I didn't want the story to end when there were still so much plot ahead.

Did all eight of them manage to leave the planet? Did they take the egg back to earth?

"Junkyard" has so much potential to be, at least, a novellete.

Curious thing is, I don't like when a story ends leaving me word-hungry but it doesn't bother me to write some stories that ended the same way.

I'll think twice from now on. I won't write stories without, at least, suggesting what's going to happen next in the main plot or leave some clues.

After all, the dessert is the sweetest dish.
