Answer:
1. Alicia was slowly losing her life.
2. This was happening because of the venemous creature inside her pillow.
Step-by-step explanation:
The story "Feather Pillow" tells of a couple who were in their honeymoon. Alicia who was described as a beautiful, soft, and tender woman was married to her husband Jordan. Jordan was unexpressive with his love which made Alicia withdraw to her room and spend most of the time in the day sleeping. She started fading away and experiencing hallucinations.
Initially, a reader would think that it was the cold way her husband treated her that caused her ill-health. It was however at her death that it was discovered that it was indeed a bloated animal inside the feathered pillow that inflicted her with invisible wounds and poison that eventually caused her death.
