Last line

Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger.

Yes!

It's called "Araby".

Little boy wants to buy a gift at the "fair" ... has an epiphany.

Good one, by the way.

I wrote a paper on this story in college.

I wrote a college paper on The Sisters. I read Araby in greater detail in high school lit. I remember specifically the English soldiers trying to con an Irish girl in the market into some sort of improper behavior.....I'll have to read it again.
