We knew our days were numbered. We had fouled up our lives and we were getting ready for a shake up

Raymond Carver was a master of capturing the raw and gritty realities of everyday life in his writing. His stories often revolved around ordinary people facing difficult circumstances and grappling with the consequences of their actions. The quote, “We knew our days were numbered. We had fouled up our lives and we were getting ready for a shake up,” perfectly encapsulates the sense of impending doom and reckoning that permeates much of Carver’s work.
