"The Open Boat by Stephen Crane" - Four men are trapped in a storm on a small lifeboat within sight of the shore...but can't reach it.
"The Other Woman" by Sherwood Anderson - A man who is about to be married confesses a secret to a close friend.
"The Furnished Room" by O. Henry - A man searches for a very special room where he can rejoin his beloved.
"The Golden Honeymoon" by Ring Lardner - An elderly New York gentleman recounts a recent vacation he spent with his wife in Florida.
