A group of travelers has found themselves stranded in a railroad station waiting for a train that never seems to come to replace the one they had been traveling in. David Sanderson realizes that his fiance, Willa, is not at the station and follows her to the nearby town. He finds her at a local honky-tonk but when it seems that the other patrons of the establishment are not just ignoring them, an awareness of their situation begins to come over him.

This is the best romantic story I read in last few years. It's really hard not be deeply moved by it. Thanks you Mr King for this little gem.

This was an absolutely beautiful story! My favorite short story of his and I've read most everything I can somehow get my hands on! Relationships can be rocky, nobody is perfect, but love can make it survive! Many kudos to you Mr. King for yet another wonderful story!

Absolutely haunting.....the bittersweet ending of a young couple in love to be married and their lives cut short, but they live on forever in a romantic embrace in the bar A great story is one that you think about long after you have finished reading it and this fits the bill - thankyou Mr King

I loved this story. the characters seemed so natural and as the story unfolded, it felt real because human nature was displayed so accurately. Thanks for writing this, i can't explain it, but it made me feel better. That's so wierd :)

Life after death, limbo, and the supernatural. A lot of people of have many different views on the after life. Up to this point my thought on life after death was that "There is no life after death." But Stephen King has found yet another way to change my mind. This is a great story. I only have one thing to say and thats, "Keep it coming King."
