This week we have a short story from F. Scott Fitzgerald.  Best known for his novel "The Great Gatsby," Fitzgerald only ever wrote four novels, but published almost 200 short stories over his career.  "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is arguably his most famous, and was inspired by an observation by Mark Twain that it was a pity that the best part of life came at the beginning and the worst part at then end.
