Suspend: to keep in a mood or feeling of expectation or incompleteness
Mystery.
Riddle.
Teaser.
Cliffhanger.
Suspended is meant for the stories that are complete, yet seem unfinished. The endings hang and dangle off the final page like a pendulum seeking answers. We want your poems or short fiction stories that are suspended in this regard, have suspenseful endings, or are ambiguous in nature at any or every turn. Send us your visual art that makes onlookers question its meaning.
