Middle School English Class: Maximum Trauma, Minimum Word Count

Hey remember those short stories in English class that are outstandingly good and extremely messed up? We certainly do! (Or, Sarah does and Amelia has goldfish memory probably as a result of playing World of Warcraft for so many years.) We're talking about those dark lil short stories you read fifteen years ago and have thought about every day since. Amelia ponders the question of hubris. Sarah has deep emotions about a school group project from 15 years ago. The cat forcibly weighs in. Works mentioned: "The Lottery," by Shirley Jackson "The Interlopers," by Saki"All Summer in a Day," by Ray Bradbury"The Cask of Amontillado," by Edgar Allen Poe"Little Things by Raymond Carver "The Veldt," by Ray Bradbury"The Most Dangerous Game," by Richard Connell "The Lady or the Tiger," by Frank Stockton"A Sound of Thunder," by Ray Bradbury (really only mentioned in spirit) Support the show
