a short chapter or section at the end of a literary work, sometimes detailing the ultimate fate of its characters

The concluding part of the text of a literary work. It appears at the end of the narrative after the climax. It may bring the reader up to date or offer a final note from the author, but should not attempt to wrap-up the subplots, which should have been resolved before the climax. The only acceptable reason to continue a story, that has ended, is to sell the next book. In contrast to an epilogue, a prologue appears at the beginning of a narrative.
