A Rose For Emily

the story, A Rose for Emily, starts with the town gathering for her funeral and flashes back to some other interesting points in her life before returning to the funeral. the funeral is being held at her house and as the guests are walking through they discover a room that contains the decomposed body of her love interest from forty years before laying on a bed and they notice a single gray hair, perfectly matching Emily's hair, laying on the pillow next to the body. during the story they were talking about the smell coming from the house and my initial thought was that she was actually dead, then i switched to thinking that her fathers body was still in the house but i was rather surprised that it was her lover from years ago. I thought it was kind of an interesting story and it had a good twist at the end and it kind of left the reader hanging at the end but, all the clues needed to figure it out were given.
