Short stories

In H.G. Wells' short story "A Moonlight Fable," we meet a young boy whose mother gives him a beautiful, silver-white suit, instructing him to save it for a special occasion. The boy, enchanted by the suit’s beauty, dons it one moonlit night, drawn by the desire to experience its magic. Against the surreal backdrop of the moonlit landscape, the boy embarks on a whimsical adventure, seeking freedom and transcendence. However, his innocent act of rebellion leads to an unexpected, poignant conclusion. Wells crafts a fable about the fleeting nature of beauty and the bittersweet pangs of youth, love, and loss.
