This wasn't about his wife or his job, and the story's intent was less to provoke pity than it was to allow a glimpse into human behavior. All humans grieve at one point or another; it is one of few things that binds us at our core. I wouldn't have changed a thing. I disagree that more was necessary.

More about his wife would have helped. Overall, an interesting character study.

This one left me hanging a little bit. I appreciated the shortness of the short story, but I found myself trying to turn the page when I got to the end b/c I needed a little more. I think a bit more about his wife or his job would have helped me. Sorry for the delay in my comment, but I’ve been behind in my reading - dratted work! This one left me hanging a little bit.
