I actually disagree with the person who disliked the ending. It can be frustrating to not have answers, I know, but sometimes that's important. One temptation that authors have to resist is that of explaining too much. If you tell the reader everything, then a lot of the time, it becomes less interesting, and as a result less powerful. Hinting, implying, and suggesting can be much more powerful tools. For instance, not once did this story mention the devil, or even anything related to the devil. However, it just happened to mention five houses, and five people performing a ritual, both of them arranged in a way that just happens to match the points of an inverted, five-pointed star. There are probably some minor things that could be done to improve this, but I don't regret reading it.
