The Monkey Best to fish in the less-than-deepest part of the lake! The fish may be a few pounds smaller but your risk of infernal terror is order of magnitudes less, just say'n. 4stars
Cain Rose UpAt just shy of 6pgs & originally published in 1968 it predates RAGE by almost a decade & loosely shares a similar theme. 4stars
Mrs. Todd's Shortcut The road less travelled! Twilight Zone style. 5stars

"a short story is like a quick kiss in the dark from a stranger. []but kisses can be sweet, & their very brevity forms their own attraction. Writing short stories hasn't gotten easier for me over the years; it's gotten harder.[]The thing to do is keep trying, I think. It's better to keep kissing & get your face slapped a few times than it is to give up altogether."
A bit of wisdom, 1980's style, from The King!
