Favorite Short Story

I would have to say that my favorite short story was 'Toga Party.' Usually I don't really like stories that are so depressing, and don't really have any climatic point. However, I liked the fact that in such a short amount of writing, the author gave so much. We found out about the main character and his wife, and their feelings toward their lives. They rarely heard from their children, and the husband was almost obsessed with the thought of himself dying. The whole story was drepressing, with the old man whose wife had died a few years before, and all the elderly parents who never hear from their children. However, even with all these sad substances, I feel that a lot of old people feel the same way. Of course I hope that's not the case, but I could only imagine when you get to the point where there really is nothing left to look forward to, the kind of thoughts people would have.
