Do I need to reread the short story first? It's been a long fucking time since high school.

Depending on how well you remember it, you probably don’t need to, but i do think it’s worth giving it a read-through so it’s fresh in your mind.

It’s online:

I agree, it's very good. I also liked the other story from "The Lottery," which goes in a completely different direction.

If the author of "The Firth" happens to be here, FYI, the word is "lose," not "loose," and "firth" is spelled "frith" the first time it's mentioned.
