Reading Log #1

I've been reading the short story, "The Mist," in Stephen King's collection of stories, "Skeleton Crew." I've seen the movie, so I already know what happens. King uses a very informal voice that infers that the reader lives in the same town. David, Stephanie, and Billy are a family that lives in Maine on a lake. They were living their lives when a summer storm hit their lake. It tears up the entire lake, leaving a path of broken trees, docks, and boathouses. David is disappointed about the storm, but doesn't question it. Stephanie, on the other hand, is very suspicious, and doesnt think it was a normal storm. They then realize that there is a giant wall of mist on the far side of the lake which gets closer, and closer to their house.
