The short story, “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin (1894), I believe is the best short story because the context of the story takes a reader to possibly a time of past, or could it also be the time of present, with it characters and theme one must asked was this story wrote about someone else or am I reading about myself and my personal feelings.
