This weekend, if you have time, check out, "The Open Window," an intense, short, short story by Saki (H.H. Monro), available for instant reading on several, online sites.
It's about a man with a nervous condition who retreats to the country armed, courtesy of his sister who fears him becoming a recluse, with several letters of introduction to his neighbors.
The man is greeted at one home by the woman's fifteen-year-old niece, who impassively informs him the real reason for her aunt's open window, despite the fact that it is October. You'll love the surprise ending!
