It's certainly different from the more common endings.

[firstchildnoah]

Isn't it? I thought it might be a better ending than the original.

It's not certain. Either she broken her neck or was unharmed from her jump and escape.

[firstchildnoah]

Well, I suppose it could have been either. If she jumped from a rather high point of the house, there wasn't a way to avoid a broken neck.

[twiceinhabited]

The story doesn't specify how high, leaving it up for the reader's interpretation.

[firstchildnoah]

I prefer an interesting ending than a boring ending.

[twiceinhabited]

I take it this doesn't bother you.

[Gee, you think?]
