Today’s story established the format for the short story “In a Grove”, by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, the father of the Japanese short story. “In a Grove” influenced the great Akira Kurosawa to create the film Rashomon. The concept being that two witnesses can give widely different accounts of the same factual event.

 

It may also serve as  William James's thesis that "it is not so much the truth of events that matters, but how they are perceived, and the difference that they make to the perceiver”. I hope you like it.

 

And now, “The Moonlit Road”, by Ambrose Bierce
