...which is short in length, but worth each and every word in it: actually, I think itÂ´s even better than "One Hundred Years"...
While writing this, JoyceÂ´s "The Dead" comes to my mind, as another short story which grows much bigger inside you than the space it occupies in the book..., and it, too, stays haunting you long time after you finish reading it.
