The Last Day of the Season - Lawrence Furbish

Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine has published this story and I consider it to be quite a gem. It is very short (about five pages) but packs a wallop and is finely written. That last quality -- the fineness of the writing is why I've remembered to post about it. It's a bit like reading a Raymond Carver or Andre Dubus story except interesting. (Not that those other two were uninteresting, although...) Anyway, highly recommended and I hope to see others like this and by this author.
