i'm not sure what i feel about the story, but it tickles my brain. i feel like there might be a subtext with the dumpster-diving/scavenging theme. perhaps as the abyss where society's rejects get sent, some full of unrealized potential, in this case the reject being evidence of beautiful woman, perhaps the woman of his dreams? am i right to understand that girl in the photograph was in her 50s/60s, i.e. three years younger than the main character (who was near retirement), before she died?
