Good

For only 8 minutes. This packs a big punch. A lot to think about and full of emotions. One of the best short stories I’ve ever listened to.

Not Read as Written

This audio version is missing three paragraphs from the actual short story. Additionally, the narrator misplaces some words with others. For example, one sentence is written "Crawling quickly to his feet...", but the narrator says "Crawling quickly to the left..."

I've been using this short story for years in my classroom and purchased this audio so I could take a break from reading it aloud; however, this version is useless.
