Short passage at the end (8)
I believe the answer is:
epilogue
'short passage at the end' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for epilogue that I've seen before include "dramatic speech" , "Tailpiece - postscript" , "Comment at the end of a book or play" , "concluding passage" , "End part of book, play" .)
