Likely slightly dated, which is why this did not resonate.
the intoxicated is a short, awkward story, about "the future of the world". It's a conversation between a drunken party goer and the host's seventeen years old daughter.
I felt like the story ended abruptly and that there was much more to it.. but who knows what the writer was thinking when she chose that end.

In 2020 the idea of the younger generation thinking about the world's future in darker terms than the previous one feels really resonant.

Maybe this isn't horror or literature or the best short story ever written but I love every single weirdo girl who scares old men that Shirley Jackson has ever written about and that's what matters.
