Short Story #103: Invisible Boy By Ray Bradbury
Title: Invisible Boy
Author: Ray Bradbury
Summary

Reflection
The ending is a bit cryptic and a bit sad. It could be indicating that Charlie was a hallucination from the beginning for an old woman who never had children. However, the hallucination part could be largely the last part of the story when the real Charlie leaves. However, in both cases, we see Old Lady in her house, clinging to a sack of sticks that she hopes will somehow provide her with the emotional fulfillment that she believes she is missing from a real child.Short Story #103 out of 365
