#2: Initial revision
The last line or lines should have some reason for being there. They can:
- be suspenseful ("What are _you_ doing here?")
- be funny ("Tinkerty-tonk," I said, and I meant it to sting.)
- close a scene (She slammed the door behind her, hard enough to make the glass rattle in the windowpanes.)
- bring resolution to an arc of any size (He held John's eyes for a long moment, then leaned over and kissed him full on the mouth.)
but don't end mid-thought or mid-scene arbitrarily.
