Not all short stories need to end with a twist. A well-written story can have a conclusion that is expected yet still emotionally resonant or thought-provoking in its simplicity.
Not necessarily. Some short stories have straightforward endings while others have twists. It really depends on the author's style and the story's theme.
One way is to have the protagonist make a decision that goes against what was expected. Explain how this sudden change adds a twist. Also, leaving a cliffhanger can make the ending more intriguing.
One idea could be that the character who seems to be the hero is actually the villain all along. For example, in a story about a detective solving a crime, it turns out that the detective was the one who set up the crime in the first place to gain fame.
I'm not sure which specific 'twist stories' are being referred to. It could be about any kind of plot - maybe mystery stories where there are unexpected turns. Without more context, it's difficult to say exactly.
One characteristic is the element of surprise. For example, in 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson, the readers are led to believe it's a normal small - town lottery until the very end when it's revealed that the 'winner' will be stoned to death. Another characteristic is that they often make the reader re - evaluate the whole story. In a story with a twist ending, the events leading up to the end suddenly take on a different meaning. Also, they tend to be concise. Since they need to hold the reader's attention until the big reveal, they usually don't have a lot of unnecessary fluff.
One characteristic is the unexpected ending. For example, in a story where a person thinks they are safe, but suddenly something terrifying happens at the last moment. Another is the build - up of suspense. It makes the reader keep guessing what will happen next, like in a story where strange things keep occurring but there's no clear explanation until the twist. Also, they often play with the reader's fears, whether it's the fear of the unknown, like in a story set in a dark, deserted place, or the fear of something supernatural.
Sometimes, a short story ends ambiguously, leaving room for the reader's imagination to fill in the blanks. This can make the story more engaging and thought-provoking.

One way is to introduce a completely unexpected character at the end who changes everything. Maybe it's someone the main character thought was dead or a long-lost relative with a dark secret.
One way is to have a seemingly happy ending, but then show a creepy detail that suggests it's not over. Maybe a shadow in the background or a strange noise. This leaves the reader with a sense of unease.
