I'm reading Duma Key by Stephen King. I was not sure if I was going to be able to read this book because shortly after STO died (He idolized King) I went to see King speak at the university, sort of as a "fuck you" to STO in a time when I was starting to let myself feel angry with him for being such a dumbass. King read a short story about a man who wanted to kill himself. Felt like I was supposed to be there. I was in tears throughout most of the evening.

Shockingly the short story became the novel Duma Key, which takes place in the area I was born in. When the main character decides to live he moves there, to the beach. STO never saw a beach. I sent him and his kids shark's teeth from the area where Duma Key takes place. I know I'm creating the connections but ...

anyhow I'm going to read it.
