I thoroughly enjoyed this story. At first it was hard for me to understand half-awake at 12 am. But after reading a summary of the story it all fell into place and made sense!
To me, I take it as the story of an addict. Someone who had hit a hard place in life, a struggle with drugs and alcohol, the death of his wife and the loss of his daughter.
Throughout the story, I believe Lorraine and Duncan represent Charlies past. They are what Charlie used to be. And they pop up quite a bit throughout the story; even ruining Charlies chances of bringing his daughter home with him. I also believe that they pop up so often as to represent what a recovering addict goes through for the rest of their life. That constant urge to use, and the constant fight against the urge.
I recommend this story to anyone who has had an addiction, or is a recovering addict, or even a successful person who was an addict in the past.
It is kind of a sad story, but if shows the harsh reality of what living that type of lifestyle will do to you, and how it can go about haunting you for many years to come.
