Short Story #140: The Boy by Maurice Courtois-Suffit
Title: The Boy
Author: Maurice Courtois-Suffit
Summary

Reflection
A familiar theme within this collection of love lost or rather disenchanted love. Courtois-Suffit did well with the plotting here, showing the games being played (ultimately, by both sides--the deceiver and the deceived both commit to this course). I rather liked the title for this one as it does symbolize often what I see as an immature concept and enactment of love with Claude being petulant boy with how he conducts relationships.Short Story #140 out of 365
