I read this story in The Wishing Pool and Other Stories--It's also in Other Terrors. I do not know what to make of a writer who does not finish her stories. Finishing stories is the hard part. At first I thought maybe it was an error in book production, because the story seemed cut off. But no, according to reviewers this is a pretty normal thing for her stories. The Incident in question never occurs, though the setup is pretty good. If you're David Foster Wallace you could get away with this, because his books contain so much other work it is worth reading them even if they don't resolve. Due is not there yet.
