Duma Key
“It was cold, with a stiff wind blowing in from the Gulf, where the water looked like broken steel under an empty sky. If I had known that was to be the last cold day I’d ever experience on Duma Key, I might have relished it . . . but probably not. I had lost my knack for suffering the cold gladly.
In any case, I hardly knew where I was. I had my canvas collection pouch slung over my shoulder, because carrying it when I was on the beach was now second nature, but I never put a single shell or bi...t of flotsam in it. I just plodded along, swinging my bad leg without really feeling it, listening to the wind whistle past my ears without really hearing it, and watching the peeps scurry in and out of the surf without really seeing them.
I thought: I killed him just as surely as I killed Monica Goldstein’s dog. I know that sounds like bullshit, but— Only it didn’t sound like bullshit. It wasn’t bullshit.
I had stopped his breath.

Why hasn't this book been turned into a movie yet? The visuals are so vividly descriptive and the story keeps you guessing what's going to happen next. I am reading my way through all of Stephen King's books and this has been one of my favorites so far! Good writing, good story...Write Review:
