Okay, long-winded much? The vocabulary used in this piece is unnecessarily complex for the tale being told. Basically, it's a guy who walked into a bar, talked literature with a bartender disagreeing. Then a bunch of rowdy storm partiers came in and the author left, drove home, and enter the house he had rewired last year. He greets his dog, sits down to write and the whole time an outrageous storm is going on. Nuff said.
