From The Book of Brian Aldiss
Synopsis:
A man fights in a gladiator arena as a slave for giant insects who have
conquered Earth. He is to fight, to his chagrin, in a double-double, where he
will be chained to another human and fight giant larvae also chained together.
Notes: Great story. I love arena stories. They are literally universal. Roger Zelazny has a great one, I will have to get up here.
SPOILER ALERT!
This is the best example of an unresolved story. The
conflict of the story is really inside the main character who doesn’t want to
fight chained to another human. After he meets the other human and they form a
plan, he changes his mind--and the story ends as they are about to enter the
arena.
