I took a look and remember reading that story somewhere...not sure where...It's a good one. 3/5 stars for me.

Any of the Roald Dahl's short stories. Always a funny and totally unexpected ending....I just bought a thick volume of his works and can't stop reading it

I'm not much of a short story reader, but I've been trying to improve.

I really loved The Paper Menagerie by Ken Liu.
I also loved Movement by Nancy Fulda. In fact, I've liked everything I've read of hers.
There was a story called Creation by Jeffrey Ford which impressed me as well.

I seldom read short stories, but I liked and sometimes re-read Dumb martian and Pillar to post, both by John Wyndham and The feeling of power by Isaac Asimov.

I really like his children's fiction books. Are all of Dahl's short stories for adults?
