Night of the Twister-

The short story 'Night of the Twister' is a suspenseful story. The suspense is introduced when the two fugitives broke into Karen's parents' house. They were carrying pistols and were demanding that Karen would give her money. The suspense is resolved when Karen pretends that there is a tornado has approached the house, when it was just a freight train passing by. She told them to go into the kitchen cellar. While they were scrambling to get in there, she grabbed an antique shotgon that was loaded and shot one of the burglers and killed him. The other had been seriously injured. The cops came and it was all over. No the author didn't include any red herrings. I would say that the story is an example of poetic justice because she did what she had to do to survive.
