Hi! About The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas… Where did you get it? Even my Uni’s library doesn’t have a copy and there are two copies on ebay which are too expensive to even consider.

The original version is usually part of an anthology since it’s so short (only 4 pages), so your uni might have it under the name “The Wind’s Twelve Quarters”. You can also read the short original version here.

I’ve seen the book version (abt 30 pages if i remember right), but it didn’t interest me enough to pick it up and browse through. I think part of what makes the story so impressive is that it has such an impact despite being so short. But of course opinions may differ.
