Little Things by Raymond Carver

I read Raymond Carver's short story titled "Little Things." I was shocked and surprised by the end of the story. I'm pretty sure my jaw even dropped when I read the last line. The ending is very ambiguous, but definitely leaves the implication of an unhappy ending. Carver included a great amount of imagery in this story. Phrases such as "red-faced" and "dirty water" allowed me to have a clear image in my mind of what was going on in the story. The story was not at all how I expected it to be by reading just the title, but it was well written nonetheless.
