Design a twist ending for my story. Current ending: [CURRENT_ENDING]. Themes: [THEMES]. Clues I could plant: [POSSIBLE_CLUES].

Offer three twist options, each with the new truth, how it recontextualises earlier scenes, and the clues to plant (with placement across the story). Rate each on surprise, fairness, and emotional impact from 1 to 5. Recommend one. Provide a clue map listing scene, clue, how it hides in plain sight, and the false interpretation it supports. Test fairness: would a rereader feel cheated? Add a check that the twist deepens the theme and does not just shock. Include the final two paragraphs' emotional goals without writing the prose.

Add a spoiler-safe test plan for beta readers: three questions to ask after reading and two to ask after a reread, plus how to read their answers. Include a note about twists that depend on withholding information from the reader without justification, and offer one alternative reveal that relies on dramatic irony instead of surprise.
