Night of the Twister

The story "Night of the Twister" is very suspenseful. We want to know how Karen will escape her captors.The suspense is introduced when the two men, Garth and Jerry, kick down Karens front door and hold her at gunpoint. While talking with the men she tells them that a twister sounds like a trainaswell as where her father kept all of his guns except for an ancient double-barreled shotgun hung above the mantel. This is the weapon she uses to shoot the men with when the nightly train roars by her parents home. We are lead to believe that an actual twister was comming for the home untill Karen explains her story to the police officers the next day. The story has poetic justice because a two killers were shot killing one of them.
