The narrator describes her routine with Jorg, how he would order them food and watch television with her, and then “leave the house again,” and how she would be in bed by the time he gets back (page 22). From this we get the sense that the narrator has fallen into her familiar pattern of pretending nothing that happens is actually happening to her. She describes her life from a distance, as if she is a character in a movie.

The matter of fact way the mans death is described is very disturbing.

As the mans corpse falls next to her in the bed, she felt “as if there might be peace in the room for a while” (page 23). While peace is a good thing, the narrator feels like the only way she can get
