I’ll start this thread with this:
A guy wakes up with what appears to be aphasia. Words just don’t mean what he thinks they mean. There’s something about ‘encyclopedia’ meaning ‘dog’. He has to learn vocabulary all over again.
Sounds like Wordplay.
That’s it.
I would have sworn it was a short story that I read. I guess not. Thanks.
I read a story around 1990 in one of those Great American Short Stories collections, or maybe a Great British short story collections. It was about twin siblings who shared a mental connection. They went to a birthday party where they played hide-and-seek in the dark. One of them was very frightened, and when the lights came back on, he was dead. The surviving child was surprised, because he felt the other’s fear going on and on.
Anyone know it?
“The End of The Party,” by Graham Greene?
That’s it! Thank you. 
A Garden Of Eden variant (I read it one of my Dad’s books. It was a greatest Fantasy collection. I remember That Hellbound Train was in it) Lilith sees Adam in the Garden and makes a body to interfere with The Divine Plan and have sex with Adam. Eventually she finds herself caring about Adam too much and leaves the body. She chats with the Serpent and decides to reinhabit the body. She finds she cannot as Eve’s soul has been placed into it. Lilith finds she cannot make another physical body. She and the Serpent plot against The Lord. In the end Adam decides not to rebel with Lilith (a rebellion it’s strongly hinted could succeed) and eats the apple after Eve offers it to him. He and Eve leave the garden. Adam says ‘Before Eve, I had a woman of my own and she never did me any harm.’
“Fruit of Knowledge,” C.L. Moore?
I thought we already had one of these threads.
I mean, it goes back to 2008, so it’s pretty long in the tooth, but it hasn’t been closed yet.
That one’s for science fiction stories only.
Wait, there are other kinds of fiction stories? 
Thanks for pointing out what I overlooked.
