There are many stories out there that are open-ended, up for different interpretations. Many theories spawn around such stories, most of which sound possible/plausible, but are nevertheless only theories. I want to create a story like that myself, but I'm not sure on how I should plan such a story. Do you just make it very vague on purpose, so that there is a lot more room for interpretation, and just hope someone will find your work interesting enough to make a theory on the meaning of it? Or do you think of multiple theories _in advance_, which your audience _might_ pick up on, while hoping they might also find other good theories that you didn't even think of / planned for as well, and adjust your story to fit those multiple possible theories?
