Re: Poetry or prose?

i recently read a story which sounds like what you're talking about. one of fitzgerald's short stories, from a collection called "the price was high." i could pick out the title of the story from the table of contents...alas, i returned the book to the library. it was near the end.

i'm not entirely sure it's what you're meaning though. i'd need the names of the stories from the TOC, then you could go read the story and find out?

Seriously, no one knows anything about the short story/poem, no more than 500 words long, with a narrator, trapped as a guest in a brutal war colonel's home and horrified by a pile of severed ears in the living room? An online search doesn't reveal anything, nor did a search by keywords at the library.

I guess I should add the same disclaimer, then: "This is not a sarcastic comment stemming from my position about prose/poetry; I am really looking for such a thing, if it exists"
