Stephen
King Takes us for a Ride
|
| “ |
I've never told anyone this story, and never thought I would -- not
because I was afraid of being disbelieved, exactly, but because I was
ashamed...and because it was mine. I've always felt that telling
it would cheapen both me and the story itself, make it smaller and more
mundane, no more than a camp counselor's ghost story told before
lights-out. I think I was also afraid that if I told it, heard it with
my own ears, I might start to disbelieve it myself. But since my mother
died I haven't been able to sleep very well. I doze off and then snap
back again, wide awake and shivering. Leaving the bedside lamp on helps,
but not as much as you might think. There are so many more shadows at
night, have you ever noticed that? Even with a light on there are so
many shadows. The long ones could be the shadows of anything, you think. |
