How should I end the story?

So I'm writing this story, and I have it all planned out, but I just don't know what to do with the villain. Winslow Mordecai is the villain, after having most of his memory wiped he believes life isn't worth living because its full of tragedy, with that in his mind he sets out to try to "save" every human by killing them with monstrous horde given to him by a another minor antagonist. After the final clash with the protagonist he helps in another fight with the being that caused all of these events. After that he meets someone from his past again who is his love. After a small argument about why Winslow can't be with her again... that's where I stop. I don't know what should happen to Winslow? Should be killed, should he kill himself, anybody got any ideas!?

    What if Winslow is so overwhelmed by all that's going on, he decides to end his life? Or he gets into a fight with a random stranger, and the stranger kills him. You can go several different ways with the ending. Like, he gets arrested and sent to prison? I know my ideas sound lousy, but they're all I could think of at the moment.

    I hope I helped some! Good luck with the ending :)

    end it their and leave your audience in suspence. herman wouk does that in his the caine mutiny, and it left me begging for more, and really made the book when he never told what happened after willie found may again and she was with another guy so she said that they cant be together even though they still are madly in love. it was a superb ending even though i hated not knowing what happened to him, and it aloughs for the reader to have multiple ending senerious they play out in their head. i wouldn't have him take his life, although that is my gut reaction, because it is expected. the best writers are unigue and leave the audience shocked at your ending. i would somehow kill off the good guy or guys too, or mabey have the good guy and bad guy connected somehow, and not know it till the end, or tell the audience, but not the characters. my general rule is do what is unexpected. if you through in great twists throughout especially at the end of chapters then your audience won't be able to put it down and youll be a sucsess.
