It won't matter.

You didn't include the backstory -in- the story.

Having to explain your story after the person has already read it is like explaining a joke after nobody laughed.

The constructive version of the various posts here goes like this:

Leaving things unanswered only works if you give the reader enough information to feel like their own answer isn't just completely arbitrary. If we're left going "Hmm, I wonder what that was" we'd better have at least enough information to -try- and formulate a -reasonable- conclusion.
