The story is about a man who believes his wife to be
kidnapped by Bigfoot. One day, after coming home from the Race Tracks, the
narrator finds that his wife, her dog, and half of her clothes gone, hairy
smell left behind. Everything else in the house seems normal except a spilled
Dr. Pepper on the counter and the fridge left open. The man believes that,
because of the smell and the sign of a struggle, Bigfoot stole his wife. The
man told other people and tried explaining that his wife was stolen by Bigfoot.
The people thought he was crazy and no one believed him. It seems pretty
obvious that the man is using Bigfoot as the reason of his wife leaving. He
explains that he spends quite a lot of time at the Race Tracks. He brought his
wife along twice, but she was not really a big fan. The lack of attention and
the gambling seem reason enough for the wife to leave. Rather than blaming him
as he should, he blames it on Bigfoot. The man spends just about half of the
entire story talking about the runaway trailer. At the end of the story, he is
trying to convince the reader to believe everything you see and hear. He is
trying to convince us to believe that Bigfoot did steal his wife. If she had
been kidnapped, she would not have taken anything and if she was just leaving,
she would have taken more. So you have to put thought to this story and we will
not know what happen to the wife. The voice of the story is the narrator (man)
and the tries to give us the identity of Bigfoot. We really do not know what
really happen to his wife.
