"The Oranges" by Summer Robinson

There are so many good stories out there on the Internet. Sometimes, though, you may not know where to find them. One website I like is Everyday Genius. Everyday Genius publishes new writing daily Monday through Friday.

I really like Everyday Genius' pick for December 9, "The Oranges." The story was strange, interesting, and unexpected.

At first, I didn't know what was happening in the story. In fact, I read it over again--several times. I think I understand it now. If not, I believe the failing is mine. Did you like this story too? If so, what did you like about it?

What do you think makes a good story? What does it take to grab your interest and keep it?
