    For fun, I got motivated to write a short story about a showdown between Santa with his muscled reindeer and Krampus with his zombies in a dream but then I got called to watch Fantastic Beasts and where to find them. So, I watched it and came back and now I'm like, how do I even end this?

    So, do any writers have any suggestions on where to find inspiration for endings?

    Edit: I'm probably going to hate what I wrote when I wake up tomorrow morning: https://xtrawhippedcream.blog/?p=1211

    Well... not a writer. Tragic ending is proven to be the best in any story though.

    Let me give you some inspiration for a possible ending.

    ... maybe you are better off finding some other inspiration.

    Not enough context. What were their driving motivations for their fight? Who won the fight? For what reason did they win? Was it over the last child to be delivered gifts on Christmas? Was the child bad the whole year, but during Christmas day as he was about to be punished by krampus did a deed that made him 50% good and bad, and now krampus and santa must fight for what to do with the child?

    Edit: Krampus needs to have his powers origin be from eating a magical fig but because he ate it he can't ice skate anymore because the fig is cursed and santa needs to be a half breed whose parents were from two opposing clans that fought scrooges ghosts of christmas past present and future. also the little drummer boy has to show up to solve a murder mystery and after solving the mystery the drummer boy has to say the lies will never prevail.

    That's the problem with trains of any kind, completely uncontrollable when they get off the tracks.
