My creative writing professor told me to read this story because it impacted her life. Upon the completion of it, I felt an impact on mine too.

This is a wonderfully written story. Tragic, but a must read none the less. It's a PDF file, it's on it's side but at the top right corner you can click the arrow on the left to change that. It's a bit lengthy... 9 pages which really isn't that long for a short story, but if you have time, give it a read.
