In the story "Lucky You" by Carl Hiaasen, a man comes home to a surprising and upsetting sight. His partner has set fire to his collection of heavy-metal CDs, which she refers to dismissively as "devil wafers." This act of burning his music collection indicates tension or conflict in their relationship, symbolizing her disdain or disagreement with his musical preferences or lifestyle.
Her drastic action reflects underlying issues or strong emotions, and it highlights the clash between personal tastes and relationship boundaries. The scene emphasizes the intensity of their disagreement and hints at themes of misunderstanding or clashes of values that may be central to the story.
