I remain sorry for what I did to the little black kitten faces a dragon by confronting guilt in this story. Guilt for getting rid of a kitten that she is always reminded of. She basically has to live with what she did wrong knowing that it is nothing she can do to take it back. Talking about her guilt her help her move forward in life and not looking back at what she had done wrong. The guilt was eating her alive in this story.
Carolina/ Tennessee was probably my favorite one out of the three. She faces the dragon by talking about being in an affair with a married man. Although Ive personally never been in this situation you can tell that it was hard for her to stop. Being the mistress isn't easy at all and it seems like the guy had some type of control over her as if she had to, like answering his calls "I watched the small black letters of your name thrash against my cell phone screen. I watched my finger, in acceptance, slide across the slick glass. How far I was willing to go—back over the Blue Ridge, almost the entire way home." this shows that although she knew it was wrong she just had to accept the call. She needs to learn people only do what you allow them to. This story seems the most relatable, ive heard many stories about this.
Landlines faced the dragons also, too, about guilt about a little girl leading a man on when she knows it isn't right. It seems like she calls him a stalker yet she entertains him and a part of me feels like he turns her on in a weird way towards the ending of this story it seems like she wanted the call to be from Stevie (private call). She played with his mind and although she seems like the victim I think she plays a part in this game as well. She was guilty yet just an innocent little girl.
