My Christmas Burglary

Author:

Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch

Genre:

Psychological Suspense

Summary:

Does anyone actually want to “get what they deserve”? We all hope for more grace than we’ve earned, and we protest when the consequences feel too harsh.

In today’s story, a burglar breaks into a collector’s home on Christmas night and gets something he couldn’t have imagined—or felt he deserved.
