Mr. Aickman's Air Rifle

Along with what seems like the majority of the class, this one was my favorite of the three short stories for this week. It was easy to get into and I really enjoyed how the four men made fun of each other relentlessly. I'm curious to know who Traynor's companion really was. This story was nothing like I expected after reading "Lapland, or Film Noir". I guess that just shows Straub's versatility as a writer. This story was weird, but in a good way as it had me intrigued from the beginning.
