loose end
unfinished business

So I'm at a loose end from here on home.

I was just another loose end he had to clear up.

But there's one other loose end, and either you or your daughter here knows the answer.

Once more I was at a loose end, with nothing much to think about except my own situation.

As you can imagine I was at a bit of a loose end.

This was one loose end in my life that simply had to be cut off.

She was the single last significant loose end from my previous life.

In the process, she'd kill me because I was a loose end.

Best if all the loose ends were taken care of.

I'm only trying to see if we left a loose end hanging around.
