Everyone wants end to the bloody story (8)
I believe the answer is:
allegory
'story' is the definition.
(allegory is a kind of story)
'everyone wants end to the bloody' is the wordplay.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'wants' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'end to' says to take the final letters.
'bloody' becomes 'gory' (similar in meaning).
The last letter of 'the' is 'e'.
'all'+'e'+'gory'='ALLEGORY'
(Other definitions for allegory that I've seen before include "Visible symbol of an abstract idea" , "tale with hidden meaning" , "Improving story" , "Meaningful story" , "Story revealing a hidden meaning" .)
