Truly one of the greatest short stories Iโ€™ve read.

Definitely recommend giving this one a read if you haven't yet.

Pretty sure I've read it ages ago but it hit me fresh all the same

Brilliant idea

I think about this little piece, all the time. I haven't read it in a very long time, though. Thank you, for bringing it back to the surface. <3
