@anniemcclanahan Last semester I asked my students to brainstorm revealing but not too personal questions and then they each chose one to answer. They came up with some good ones!

During a very difficult week for our family, my 75-year-old mom assured me she'll still have time to shop at her local independent bookstores and casually talk up my forthcoming book 🤣If there's a surge of pre-order's in St. Louis, I'll know why. https://t.co/J0cAhJq42v

@ToddKaneko I will check this out! My students love writing surprise endings, and I want them to have some good examples. So far I gave them The Liberator by Tania James, which they liked, but haven’t found much else.

[Marian Crotty @mgcrotty]

Examples of successful literary short stories with a big twist or surprise at the end?
