Answer:

Norma's personal desires resulted to her pushing the button, which unknowingly, led to her husband's death.

Explanation:

"Button, Button" is a shorty story written by Richard Matheson. It focuses on the story of a couple, Norma and Arthur, who were having financial troubles. Then, came a day when a mysterious box showed up. A stranger visited the house when Arthur was at work. He gave Norma the key to the box and told her that she could press the box to receive $50,000. However, if she does this, someone she didn't know will die.

Norma didn't listen to her husband when her husband threw the box in the trash. She was focused on <u>obtaining the</u><u> $50,000</u>, without thinking about who will die if she presses the button. Although her husband already told her that an innocent person might die once she does it, she still didn't care.

So, when Norma pressed the button, <em><u>her husband died in a train incident</u></em>. Norma wondered why her husband died and asked the stranger about it. The stranger only answered, <em>"Do you really think you knew your husband?</em>"

Explanation:

it was a great abyss, the wind howled and cried making my hair slash sharply against my numb face. a beautiful bottomless abyss. above, the miserable, heavy clouds darken and close in as if they were a wolf hunting its prey. a colage of various shades of greys and blues encapsulate the sky. a shiver runs down my spine as the biting cold freezes my soul. the only sign of humans stepping foot here is a rotting wooden walkway, with the long repetitive years of the harsh wind and waves that explode comfortably against this wooden structure, it was eroding away, it was a cold and unrelenting picturesque scene of the past.
