So this story had a twist that I wasn't expecting. In the beginning it was kind of boring and depressing and then towards the middle I was liking it just a bit more, but when the end came along I was totally taken by suprise. The irony lets you find the bittersweentess in the stories ending. Could there actually be someone in this world so unhappy to actually be happy to hear of the death of their spouse? That would definitely be a damn shame in a real person's life. Although the story was short it gave enough detail for us to focus our attention as readers and to try and get us to understand the story.
