Most Likeable Short Story

The short story I most liked reading was "A Rose for Emily".  I don't really know exactly why I like this particular story other than it fascinated me that someone would go to those extremities to find or have a relationship with an unwilling partner.  If you look at the news or read your newspapers, these kind of acts are still going on this present day which is very heartning.  For one to know that their are people in this world that need to feel loved by someone that they would actually hold someone captive against their will and eventually deprive them of a normal life because you, yourself are not living one.  In the short story "Emily"  wanted to be loved so very badly that she held her lover captive, by tying him to a bed and deprived him of outdoor sun and air, probably even witheld food from him and still would not let him go even after his death.  We still live in a world where we take each other and our lives for granted, not truly knowing who were hurting and it's a sad thing.  I really did enjoy reading this story because I never would have thought the story would have ended the way it did.  It took me by surprise and that's probably another reason I enjoyed reading this particular short story.
