Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game” and published in 1924 in The Saturday Evening Post and was adapted into a film of the same name in 1932, starring Joel McCrea, Fay Wray, and Leslie Banks. He began his writing career when he was 13 years old when he covered a local murder trial for his father’s newspaper in Poughkeepsie, New York in 1906. By the age of 15, he was a seasoned crime and sports reporter. His father became a Congressman and Richard then attended Harvard and went on to serve a year in France during World War One where he edited a camp newspaper called “Gas Attack.” When he came back to America, he got married and moved to Hollywood where he worked on many projects, his most notable being “Meet John Doe” in 1941.

Over Yonder, by C. Mack Lewis
What exactly is Moses willing to sacrifice to keep his promise? Why is Daniel’s wife suddenly so nervous? And since when do God and the Devil hang out?  Will this short story answer those age-old questions about the meaning of life, or will it only leave you with more questions? Either way, I hope it will give you an entertaining respite from banalities. Cheers!
