Today I’m trotting out a new reading list – ten short stories I think are worth the price of admission, both for their literary merit, and their ability to inspire and shed light on the human condition in a way that is truthful, even if painful. I think these ten do that, in the most powerful ways possible. In this story we read about a chance meeting with a former boyfriend on the street. The encounter gives a woman pause for regret on choices made, emphasizing the idea that choices made now can lead to regret later.
