time. I took five steps up the cushioned stairs, holding on to the wobbly, old railing next to me and entered the living room where my Mom and Grandpa had been living for the past few days. It smelled as it always did, except for the indistinguishable stench of waiting. A smell like a hospital lounge, a counselor’s office in a high school, or a dirty bus stop filled with strangers. I waited for a moment, just standing there. It was so hard to

Furthermore he kills the innocent girl with a hammer, and get to know true identity of the young man. The story ends with an appropriate quote “His name was love, and he walked these dark streets because Norma was waiting for him.” The young man is living on a lie. He is pretending to be normal, perfect and efficient. I think King calls the protagonist “The young man” as a ambivalent comprising, because on the on hand he is a decent guy, but on the other hand he is a emotional mess. He's contently

vacation. But what it does contain is my home. Ten months of my life was spent in the Yaak mountains, where everyday I looked out the window and saw the exact same scene every day. Ten months of absolute pain, hatred, anger, and growth. Ten months of living with stranger’s who are now my family. Ten months of waking up with no familiar face in sight, no comfort from family, and ten months of knowing you are truly alone. And these were the best months of my life. I grew up in Montana. I experienced things

Deep inside a lush, dark forest, on the outskirts of a small town called Ridgefield, two young boys were traveling far inside, oblivious to the world around them. Tall, extravagant trees sprouted up all around. A thick layer of fog surrounded every living creature inside of the forest.
