Anyway, I Wish You Well by S.A. Greene


Greene’s very meta short story plays with language and contains some real surprises, I read it three times in a once I figured out what she was doing with it.

 There’s an epiphany, an acceptance, a glint of hope or resistance somewhere, because that’s how stories should finish, so they say.  A crock of gold twinkling at the end of the narrative arc is one way to think of it. Or a crock of shit.
