The Sphinx

My Thoughts

This story was a pleasant surprise. I hadn't heard of it, but I very much enjoyed it. It started out serious and worrisome but ended in humor. The story deals with perception and the fact that seeing isn't always believing. Our individual perspectives may differ dramatically from the perspectives of others, and sometimes we are in the wrong. The only part of the story that I don't quite get is how the Sphinx disappeared into the trees if it was 1/16th of an inch from the narrator. Overall the ending was a nice twist. I honestly didn't see that coming!

My Rating

I would rate this story a 3.8 out of 5. It will be read again!
