How do you like my epilogue?

So everyone's always posting bits of their stories and their prologues and their beginnings... but I thought it'd be interesting to post my ending, my epilogue, to see what people thought. If this was the only thing you had, would you be interested in the story, even if it took place after all the action?

Just curious :)

----------

A construction crew of thirty men arrived at the city zoo to begin scheduled demolition. The men were irate when they saw the destroyed entrance and the zoo beyond, thinking another demolition crew had been hired and begun their work. The upturned van confused them, and their own unmoved equipment confused them even more.

Down one of the narrow paths, they heard laughter. Crazy, maniacal laughter, fit for a cartoon villain. A group went to investigate and discovered a man who called himself Fuzz, trapped in a perfect cage of thick, unbreakable bamboo. They asked him what happened, and he began talking like a man who’d completely lost his mind. Stories of a botched kidnapping and a superhero with the power to grow plant cages, and a zoo filled with wild animals that somehow disappeared overnight. The demolition crew laughed and laughed until the foreman told them to cut the man out and get to work. The foreman drove Fuzz to the psychiatric ward of the hospital.

That day, each of the thirty men found strange footprints and impossible plants as they destroyed the zoo one building and enclosure at a time. The only difference between each of them and the crazy man is they knew to keep their suspicions to themselves. That night, one of the men told his young daughter a bedtime story about the footprints and plants he’d found. He knew that she would be the only one who would ever believe him.

    I actually really like the epilogue. It piqued my interest and left me wondering what had happened to get to this point. You sure do have a way with words. This was simply beautiful. I really want to read the beginning and middle now. :)

    Keep up the great work!

    as a results of fact maximum folk do not in elementary terms like this type of satisfied ending. Yeah he suffered plenty in his existence whether it made him a greater powerful individual. The epilogue in simple terms placed the happiness ingredient over the best. occasion: greater people like "Empire strikes decrease back" extremely then "return of the Jedi". people like heart discomfort, and disaster. It makes them experience greater powerful approximately there existence. The previous "a minimum of that is not taking place to me" theory.
