As with any author's decision to use 1st person, her intention most likely -- in this story -- was to get her readers to go along for the ride into madness and cultivate a certain amount of sympathy for the narrator and her plight. The constant use of "I" puts readers in the narrator’s head and allows them to empathize with her.

Answer: This is past <u>simple</u> tense.
Explanation:
- Past simple tense is formed by adding <u>-ed </u>(in some cases, -d or -ied) to the base form of the verb. The past simple tense of the verb "to splurge" is going to be <em>"splurged." </em>
- Past progressive form, on the other hand, consists of <u>verb to be</u> and -<u>ING verb form</u> - "was splurging."
- Past perfect form would be "had splurged", while past perfect progressive would be "had been splurging."
