Perhaps it will be good to have separate threads for questions posed?

My impression of the end of "A Very Short Story" it the juxtaposition of siezing the moment versus something that is longer term. There is a building of a relationship in the early part of the story, only to have it crumble due to separation. The last part is a brief encounter, yet it also has a poor outcome. Perhaps the Hemingway is saying if your going to get hurt, do it quickly and move on, rather than prolonging the agony.
