I want you to read "Nightfall" (you can find this as an attachment at the bottom of this page) and two of the other stories I have provided below. When you are done I want you to blog about them.
One paragraph for each story:
Summarize each story, talk about what you liked and disliked about it.
Does the story have a 'twist'? What is it? Did you see it coming?
What did you notice about the style that is different than your typical novel length story?
