 You know a short story is amazing when you can come up with so many different interpretations from the symbolism from something, at face value, is so simple on a narrative sense. To me, Pluto could represent either prejudice or superstition, or how those two are similar in nature, being driven by fear and rage... After reading it, the atmospheric mood to the story and the themes never left me and will probably stick to me forever. I'm speechless, I don't know what else to say, highly recommend!!

I had really thought I would enjoy this one but quickly realized that wouldn't be the case, I couldn't stand the cruelty in it which seemed to have no explanation at all. Although there was lots of vivid imagery, this was sadly not a good fit for me.
