Very short story about a stranger who stops at an isolated house after having car trouble and eventually prevents a murder. I found this story to be somewhat confusing, which lessened my enjoyment of it. ( )

A man’s car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, so he goes to the only nearby house. While there, he senses something suspicious going on with the family that lives there and he determines to find out just what that might be. This short story was an enjoyable enough read, but it had a really confusing ending that took me forever to figure out. ( )
