The Box in the Corner ![]() A woman discovers something missing. (3 EDITOR'S PICK & HON. MENTION) ![]() |
Hi there. Nixie, here. Overall Impression I'm burning up my brain trying to put all the pieces together. Sorry for the play on words. When I read the conclusion, and then went back and read the story twice again, I think what confused me was Patty calling her aunt and asking how to make a quilt. How did Patty go from this seemingly young person to the one who died? It took her that long to complete it? This is driving me crazy. Especially since it seems everyone else figured it out. A few thoughts Sometimes I find answers when I write. Jumping to the conclusion, the box happened to be in Patty's room where she died. So how did she have it in the beginning of the story? ![]() Often, if I don't click with the meaning of a story, that lack is kept to myself. But this story was beautiful and I wanted to understand it all. Which is still not happening. I followed what happened in the conclusion. Patty had been living another woman's memories with each scrap of fabric. Lasting Impression With any hope left, you'll answer this review and turn on the lights in my brain. Aside from the second paragraph, everything made sense to me. Maybe it'll hit me later. I'm an idiot. So much exposure for this story, yet no reviews? You must have left everyone spellbound. Congrats on all the accolades in newsletters. The lack is on my side, not yours. I apologize. ![]() ![]()
