I could've sworn I had read this before, but I can't be certain. Getting an odd sense of deja vu here. Maybe heard it on the podcast in the background and didn't concentrate well enough?
It's an old story, and a relatively famous one. I wouldn't be suprised if you've read it before.
Well I do like Shirley Jackson
