Review

A good, short read. Ended very abruptly for me. Need to give the whole story some thought - whilst it is very well-written it doesn't feel all that profound and I'd like to know more about why it is such a classic. Is it just a function of being so bizarre and being written in the 1920s?

"I told you so."

He remained in this state of empty and peaceful rumination until he heard the clock tower strike three in the morning. He watched as it slowly began to get light everywhere outside the window too. Then, without his willing it, his head sank down completely, and his last breath flowed weakly from his nostrils.
