I cannot stand Amy, she is such a bitch. She cheats on Mort and then not only does she blame him for it, but she says shit that is so infuriating and upsetting. If I was Mort in this situation I would go insane too.

Now Mort is trying to figure out who the hell this guy is so he can beat him up or kill him. He talks to his wife and her lover about this man and his accusations. Mort is now making his way back to the summer house to take on “John Shooter” who is the man’s pseudonym.

I’m on the second novella titled “secret window, secret garden” so far it’s about this author mort who is living at his summer house because he caught his wife cheating on him and moved out. While he is staying there some guy knocks on the door and tells him that he stole his work. Mort knows this is bullshit and dismisses it until the man looses his shit killing his cat and burning down his house in Derry.

AND THEY JUST STAY THERE?!

I finished the langoliers. I thought that the ending was alright, was expecting much worse of an ending and felt rushed in my opinion. From searching Bangor the group of people leave because “the langoliers” are coming, they are some type of alien. Once they leave they attempt to fly through this time jump in the sky. Once they do that they arrive safely in yet another dimension that is not their own.

This first story is really interesting me. Our group of characters landed in Bangor only to find out that the airport there has no power and is deserted. They believe they are in another dimension or somehow time traveled. There was a scene where Dinah who is a blind little girl is getting a knife pulled out of her chest. That made me cringe in the best way possible.

A total of 11 people are on this plane alone. The missing passengers have left their belongings on this plane but are nowhere to be found. “Crew-neck” seems like the antagonist on this plane while Brian is our protagonist. It seems too convenient that he is a pilot so the other passengers are feeling skeptical of him. Also, Brian now changed their destination to Bangor, Maine.

On the Langoliers which is the first novella. It seems interesting so far, 10 people wake up on a plane but the crew and the rest of the passengers are missing. Are main character is Brian something, he is flying from LA to Boston for his ex wife’s funeral. Another character is Dinah she is a 17 year old blind girl whose aunt mysteriously disappeared with the other passengers.
