About The Collector, I recently read a Poe story in school and we discussed how it was a narrative even though we saw the word "I" and found out the narrator's feelings only about twice, and I think that was what I was going for, that the beginning and middle would emphasize the narrator, but the world and what was happening in it around him. I will revise it though, add in more details, but the narrative himself is supposed be rather a minor character/detail.
