Difficulty of text understanding

A little module that determines the EOF on tape is, taken out of context, neither eloquent nor problematic. And neither is the English word "end" - that is, of course, until someone you've never seen before stops you on a dark street corner and hands you a crumpled piece of paper on which is scribbled "this is the end". Of the sidewalk? Of the world? Of the man's career as a writer of dime store thrillers?
