And there was light! And heat! Raging heat!

Glen…the sociology professor.
One of the many -ologies tilting the world in the “after”.

Less than a hundred pages to go and one of the four horsemen is on the ground!
Also poor Stu! I knew him, Frannie!

Hark! Childe Harold is gone!
I believe with my whole heart that King channeled Byron with Harold Lauder. So fittjng when you truly think it through.

From Byron’s epic poem Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage:

"In solitude, where we are least alone."

That seals it! When Flagg moves, speaks, threatens…he sounds just like The Man in Black, and if you don’t know who that is, you need to read The Dark Tower. Also, as usual, there’s a real voice I’ve assigned to Flagg. You can bet your bottom dollar that his voice is a dead-on match for Mr. Matthew David McConaughey. Clear as the red ringing that crow’s eyes.
