Waiting for The End is a Hugo interactive fiction story and is © 2013 by Paul Lee. It was written for the second Hugo Open House event.
In this short story, it is the time of The End. Magic has died, heroes are no more, and the Fates have failed. You, a mortal, can only walk life's path to The End and wait.
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Version 3 of the story.
