In this story, Collier puts the reader into the story to add a personal feel to it. He tells the reader to imagine picking up the phone with the neighbor describing a masked man carrying something shiny around the neighborhood. Naturally, the person hangs up the phone and goes to investigate while carrying a gun. When the reader finds the masked man, he walks towards the main character. Little to the main character’s knowledge, the masked man is his or her teenage son.

The parent shoots and kills her or her son because of his or her instinct to blindly shoot. (Collier 82)

I hopped into the shower and began to sing, just as I always do. The yelling and screaming grew louder, but I just figured that mom and dad were fighting again.

I watched as he slouched into the crevice that's been created in
