I have to ask myself a simple question. How would one "define" the incredible oddity that seems omnipresent in today's society? The dictionary definition for the term twilight is "the soft, diffused light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon." To anyone you might ask who crosses your path may assert something as facile as "It is just an amazing story."

Each event in the story either connects with another even, intensifies the suspense, or adds irony to a given situation. Furthermore, an event that one might think is inconsequential would be of utmost importance later on. In a broader sense, the fact that
