Slim is a college student who is going into his second semester.  When he goes back to school, he is on his way back to his dormitory when he somehow gets lost and can't find his dorm. Slim misses the comforts of home and his Mom and Dad, and thinks about them often, as he does as he walks on this strange path to his dorm.  After two hours of walking, Slim comes to the sound of water, and it is Hard Creek, and he sees his dorm on the other side of the creek.As Slim begins to cross Hard Creek on the bridge, some strange and frightening things begin to happen, but by the end of the story, Slim has changed.  This is a real test for Slim and whether he passes or not is up to him.  The tests are not easy ones for him.This is an engaging story that I liked.  The author isn't Ambrose Bierce, but it is still a good story.
