Review: Moves You in a Direction You are Not Pepared For

Adam Light's "Gone" has been described as a story you may see on an episode of "The Twilight Zone," and I think that is a fair statement. The action takes place over one day and moves you in a direction you are not prepared for. By the end of the story, you are left wondering what clues you may have missed along the way that would have better prepared you for the final outcome. "Gone" reminds me of a classic story written by Ambrose Bierce (coincidentally dramatized on an episode of "The Twilight Zone") called "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." The setting, plot, and characters are nothing alike, but there is an aspect to "Gone" that somehow reminds me of Bierce's strange tale.
