The Long and Painful Death

From looking at this title, one might think the story is about exactly what it says. But this is not the case. The story is about a woman who moves in to a house that once belonged to a famous writer named Heinrich Boll. While she is staying in this house, she plans to write a story. At first, she procrastinates. She goes out to the ocean and she notices a small cove in the distance. She swims out to it and stays there for a while. The girl also procrastinates by going out and buying ingredients to bake a cake. We also find out that it's her 39th birthday. The morning of this day she receives a phone call. The phone call is from a man who wants to look at the house. He tells her she's outside but she asks him to come back later. He arrives at night and she's showing him around the house and exchanging in small talk. The man however becomes angry with the girl and tells her she is not worthy enough to be in this house. She kicks him out and is so offended by this accusation. This inspires her to stay up all night and write a story which reflects on her experience that day. She goes much deeper into the story by talking about this rude man and how his wife must be suffering so much. She pauses and as she fixes herself a cup of coffee she created the idea to make this man have a "long and painful death"
This woman is so hurt by the rudeness of the man she wants to write a story about him having an excruciating death. Usually when someone becomes angry, they don't immediately want to write about them dying. I personally chose not to accept the behavior of the rude person and I try to move on from it. However, writing about your feelings and the pain you feel can create a very good story and it's also a good way to relieve stress.
