I am stupefied. Did not see that ending coming. I was highly encouraged by Rusty to read this one, apparently it is a very famous short story. A slow build, becoming more and more mysterious. Anticipation of what was to come next kept me flipping the pages, and I could see I was nearing the end.. too little left of the story to provide a fantastic ending.. I was afraid I was going to be disappointed.. and then, the very last paragraph.. I was more shocked and more satisfied than I thought I could be.. and have been pondering this story ever since. Truly amazing. Wow. Wow. I am stupefied. Did not see that ending coming. I was highly encouraged by Rusty to read this one, apparently it is a very famous short story.
