Now we know why the ink you bought was so expensive.

Now obviously I don't know Stephen King personally (I wish I did because he seems cool) but when I got to the end of this story, I was torn between thinking "Stephen King would never do that" and "Stephen King would TOTALLY do that".

Either way, it gave me a good chuckle. Not only because of that great last line but also because of typical Stephen King story traits, like "family from Maine" and "six-hundred-and-ninety-eight page hardcover". Honestly, how does he write so much?

Great story. And that would be a million dollar pen. I really like his stories, and love his politics

Short and shocking! Well written. So much in so few words. Well done to you Bill. One Steve King fan to another - couldn't have written it better myself. I totally get it!

I have my personal Stephen King several weeks already - it's you Bill. I know one day you autograph your book for me. I can't wait to see you on that day, and chat about your short stories.

Thanks. I'm glad you liked Stephen King's autograph.

But, right? How does Stephen King write so much so quickly and so well? He's...haunted?
