A Moonlight Fable by H.G. Wells

A young man cherishes a beautiful, expensive suit his mother bought him but is forbidden from wearing it except on special occasions. One moonlit night, driven by longing, he puts it on and goes walking, feeling a sense of freedom and joy. The decision leads to an unexpected and tragic consequence. The plot is brief, dreamy, and deeply symbolic. It’s a meditation on desire, repression, and the cost of beauty.
