The story, "A temporary matter" is about a couple's distancing troubles after they suffer a miscarriage. They attempt to amend their relationship over a period of scheduled blackouts by confiding in each other about anything they want to get off their chest. Although, by the end of the final scheduled blackout, the couple end up separating.

The story had aspects of secrecy, mistrust, and grief. The title refers to the blackout, the couple's relationship, the candle flame and even human life being temporary. The couple realized how fleeting life could be after their stillborn child and this idea is later reinforced when their relationship ended as well.

I think the story is Reader response because different people can read the story differently. The theme can be interpreted differently depending on their own experiences. From a different perspective, the "temporary" theme can be describing the couple's state of mind rather than the child's life. I interpreted the blackout as a temporary thing because of my experience. Although, the blackout may also be associated with the attempted mending of the couple's relationship and the last good memories they had together.
