Just read it. It's not the Kafka I remember. Must be one of his earlier stories maybe. It does benefit greatly from a second reading! I was trying to guess what was happening the first time I read it, but failed. The second time things become much clearer.

I would say that even though nothing much happens in the story itself, in the traditional sense anyway, but things happen in the reader, who slowly comes to realize certain things, and even get a kind of creepy feeling maybe like an Edgar Poe story.
