I enjoyed your story, Meg. Something different that makes the reader grapple and spin the environment around them.
I'm not a fan of twist endings. Sometimes, they're okay, but frequently I find them to be forced. Sometimes they even go far as to deceive the reader, revealing something the protagonist would have already known but the author withheld to get to the "twist".
I also like stories with an ambiguous ending. It may be leaning toward one resolution / decision or another, but it's up to the reader to decide. I saw a movie like that a while back, and it was clobbered on IMDB because it didn't come out and say. But I liked it.
