The Horrific Nature of Fleeting Curiosity and Street Haunting

After reading Braden's essay, I received a similar feeling from it that I did from reading Woolf's "Street Haunting." In the description of both scenes, I was overcome with a sort of quiet, almost eerie feeling as the different places were unveiled and the actions unfolded. Just as Woolf took care to make specific descriptions of the scenes around her, Braden also thoroughly described the sounds, smells, and sights of his house. There was, "cool air that came in through the typically opened windows," and the outside section of tubing that was described as "rattling." Braden's essay also seemed to remind me of Woolf's "Street Haunting" in the way that it focused on darkness, which was a large part of Woolf's essay, because her entire experience takes place in the nighttime of London. Braden's also is in the evening, and his scene was emphasized as extra dark because of the nature of the game he talks the reader through.
