i think lives!.!.!.because then you can tell the readers about his guilt, emotions, but also you have answer that based on the relationship between the father and son!.!.!.!.!.such as if the father had to kill the son out of pressure or by accident [he may feel he needs to kill himself to make things rite] then he may kill himself but if the father killed the son out b/c he wanted him out of the way, etc!. then he lives!.!.!.!.!.reallly based on how you tell itWww@QuestionHome@Com

depends what kind of book it is i think

a) if its all about emotion etc then this would probably be better because the father would have to live with what he did!. also, do this if you want to make the reader imagine what happens next/if you want to write a sequel!.

b) this would be good for a very tragic ending, maybe a psychological thing!? it would round off the story but leave no room for imagination!.

it could go either way basically lol

xx good luckWww@QuestionHome@Com

I really don't know how to answer that!.

You have to tell what the stories about!. Like why is the Father killing his son!? What made him chose to kill and not talk things out!. I mean did the son kill someone!. Or did the son say something to the Father that made him kill him!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Make him somehow realize his mistakes and become a better person after he kills son!. Make him face the charges and come out as a better person!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think he should kill his son!.!.!. then serious consider killing himself but pull back at the LAST second!.!.!. but is still emotionally distruaght!. Then maybe he dies in an accident!. Sort of ironic and sad!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Father kills son and lives!. That way you can right a sequel!.

What a bad ending lol!.!. Good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
