 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!!
