I Hate Everyone — in our worst moods, it's a phrase you just want to shout out loud, even if deep down, you don't really mean it. Set at a birthday party, the disgruntled first-person narration portrays the confusing, often contradictory feelings that can sometimes make it impossible to be nice — particularly when what you might need most is for someone to be nice to you. A gorgeous, poetic contemplation, sure to elicit a reaction from readers. (From POW!)
