Journal for "At the Station"

The reading for today is "At the Station" by Davis. This story is a slow moving tale set in a town where nothing happens, but the train coming through twice a day. This story is really just for entertainment value it felt like and unlike the early stories this story has no twists. Perhaps the fact that it has no twists is what makes this story so strange in comparison to pass readings. As a reader the story is a very believable one which I think shows the movement of story writing from sentimental fiction in the past. I think it does require some suspended belief but this is a story that I liked and I like how the diction managed to show the slow moving lifestyle of the people in the town.
