Popular Mechanics

Although this story is really short, there was a lot of information and drama stuffed into it. On the other hand, the readers have to assume a lot of things. For example, we never know what the "issue" is and what is "decided" at the end. We also don't know or find out why the man is leaving. The author's style adds to the bluntness of the actions of the characters. The author doesn't use quotes and portrays the story like it is just an event.

  1. I think it's more that the reader COULD assume much of the missing details, but not that they HAVE to.
