"The Solipsist" by Fredic Brown

In my opinion, this is a very interesting and intelligent piece of writing that catches the readers’ attention from beginning to end. The author analises egoism and selfishness through a fictional short story narrated in an ironical style. He calls the protagonist Walter B. Jehovah, who believes that there is nothing but himself and his imagination, and that he has the power of finishing the existence of everything and everybody with his mind. The name of the main character is not a coincidence because through the story you can find connections between his life and Creation. I particularly enjoyed the way the writer creates suspense and at the same time gives the audience clues about the different possibilities of ending the story. I am not going to tell you the final part because you may read it some day, but I can say that the end is the beginning of lots of questions.
