Shadow Falls: A Narrative Analysis
Amid the muffled sound of metal-on-metal repetitively grinding and vibrating beneath her feet, Lana Stevens and the other two-hundred-forty-nine passengers arrived at the town of Shadow Falls. It was Thursday, October 29, 2015, and on that day, the morning sun shined brightly as the passenger train gradually pulled into the station, finally coming to rest directly adjacent to the newly constructed concrete platform.

Staring out of the side window, Lana couldn't help but wonder how much life had changed in the small town since she left during the summer of 2011. Because Winston and Bodelia Stevens insisted their daughter receive a well-rounded education, they enrolled their daughter in Wallingford Academy, the prestigious all-girls prep school

At Sparks the attempt is made, with the help of specialist, to bring the new pupil as close as he can come to the level of normal children of his age. I particularly find plenty of disagreements among parents and teachers about which children are being better served.…

    “And on your left you’ll see one of the tallest waterfalls in the world” the train conductor announced. Everyone shuffled for their camera to capture the moment. As the scene came into view the cog train was filled with the sound of a disappointed gasp, followed by glances to the vested instructor that read ‘are you kidding me’.

We were expecting something the size of Niagara Falls.…
