Short story fika: Duty
We had our fourth short story fika yesterday. This time, the theme was ‘duty’ and the stories featured were:
- The Sniper by Liam O’Flaherty
- The Lottery by Shirley Jackson
- The Veldt by Ray Bradbury
It was just three of us this time, and we had a great chat about the duties and sacrifices of war, the questioning (or lack thereof) of outdated traditions, and the costs of our increasing reliance on automation in daily life.
