Margaret Atwood - "Stone Mattress"

Wonderful short about a woman in the autumn of her life who suddenly gets the chance to revenge herself on the guy who raped her after promnight while on a cruise to the Arctic Seas.

That rape, sent away from the small town, slowly working herself up, in a way was the beginning of the strong woman she would become to be, thereby making her rapist indirectly his own murderer.

Really good. Started to analyze it.
