A Good Man is Hard to Find

Absolutely great story. It almost gives me the feeling that if it was made into a movie, it could easily be made into a dark comedy. The grandmother's twist view on who is good colliding with the misfit's even more twisted view of the world makes for awesome conflict. At the final scene where she reaches out to touch him, claiming he is one of her sons is an epic finally. Especially when he puts the three bullets in her chest. On my second reading i realized at that exact momment he was really wearing her dead son's shirt. Symbolism? I dunno, but certainly interesting.
