From the short story, "Marigolds" by Eugenia Collier. A look into a struggling black family during the Depression. The lines between childish folly and adult guilt and shame blur for Lizbeth.

I read this short story while I was online at Target yesterday. I'd never heard of it before I found a list of unsettling short stories somewhere. As the first one out of the gate, it doesn't disappoint.

Reggie Oh my g—, my 9th grade literature teacher made us read this one day. We had all entered loud and rambunctious and left her class in a funk. I remember this one guy who finished just asked her,”Why would you make us read something like that?” With hurt in his voice. She just laughed. Lol 4y
IamIamIam @Reggie Oh wow!!! I can totally see why you'd have felt that way!!! I remember being really depressed when my 10th grade teacher, who really should have been a college professor, had us getting down and dirty with poetry from WWI! 4y
