A Short Story Of Collection By Felicia Krol

“Collection” written by Felicia Krol, is a short story of brokenness. Perceiving this story as a broken love story, you come across a man, broken and afraid to say the words. Dawn, his wife, is left speechless with no words left to herself. Awoken by the sound of the back door(line1), Dawn makes her way over to catch a glimpse of her husband, walking in right before the sun comes up and before the alarms begin to sound.(line 8/9) Heartbroken, Dawn is left unsaid. He begins to ramble about how the situation is not as it occurs,(Line 35) but dumbfounded, Dawn clearly disagrees. Trying to reassure a smile on Dawn 's face, he begins to say, “whatever you’re thinking, you’re wrong honey.”(Line 31) Unresponsive, he begins to yell for her to say something.(Line 47) Once she parted her lips, she began to break down and let loose on what she had to say. He stood for a moment, standing there silently from all the ugly things she had on her mind. Then to my understanding, he murdered her ugliness with his own and shut her down, leaving no moths left behind. While reading “Collection,” you can create a whole background of evidence to add to the story while using different literary devices including, the point of view, theme, character development, environmental change, and metaphors.

He seemed like a very settled man that has made some bad mistakes to his wife,
