On the last morning , I walked out to the water by myself . The sand was damp and firm high up the beach from the tide . Morning mist spread along the coast like a secret , the clouds hung low and thin like a lace hem over the mountain to my right , and a pink ribbon of sky wove between gray and blue sheets to herald the arrival of the sun . OPTIONS:
- So that he could get a darker tan lying on the sand .
- To rinse his feet off in the water .
- It reminded him of a beloved childhood memory .
- It gave him a sense of peace and tranquility .

A: Why did the narrator walk along the beach one last time ?

It was a great week off , and the relaxation was greatly enjoyed . I read 5 books , got brutally sunburned , tried windsurfing , and just had a generally all around good time . My Mother and Aunt and Uncle rented a house down there , and all my cousins came . Only person who could n't make it was my brother Ian , which was unfortunate , but he works like a crazy bastard . So finished up work this last week working some quite long days to make up for the time lost over the week I took vacation . OPTIONS:
- The narrator vacationed on the ocean , perhaps California .
- The narrator and their mother had a winter lake rental house on the lake in Ontario
- None of the above choices .
- The narrator had a crazy vacation in Sin City , Las Vegas .

A: Where did the narrator end up taking their vacation ?

It could have been everything , and it could have been nothing . I think I was past caring . I walked , because there was nothing else for me to do . My chest still felt tight , like a coil wound . OPTIONS:
- The narrator is always difficult to work with - this is not new .
- None of the above choices .
- The narrator is feeling overwhelmed and is showing it .
- The narrator is naturally grumpy and always like this .

A: Why would someone feel that the narrator is being difficult ?

Yesterday seems like a blur , today the reality started to set in . I woke at first thinking i 'd had a horrible dream but the dampness on my pillow said it all . How i 'd cried myself to sleep , 4 am 5 am i did n't know . OPTIONS:
- They may be cross with one of their pets
- They may have been bereaved
- They may have cut several onions
- Their lottery numbers might not have come up

A:
What may have happened to the narrator ?
