In the context of King's prose, that weird abortive love scene made perfect sense. <BR/><BR/>Other good details from the story: there's a hypnotic effect of some kind coming from the slime. We never see it or get it described, but the first victim girl (I think there were more characters in the prose version) is caught staring into the slick like you said, and then she says this really creepy line: "It has <I>colors!</I>" (Nobody else can see anything like that). Of course, like all good monsters, the slick dispenses with all nice illusions once it's actually killing you, so as she's being burned/ripped apart she gets off a heart-rending "It <I>hurrts—!</I>" scream before she's dead. There's another good part near the end of the story, where it's just down to the one guy, and he's finally so crazy and despairing that he pathetically tells himself he'll just dive in and maybe it won't be so bad because he remembers the line about the colors; maybe it will somehow be a peaceful end of some kind. (He's wrong about that, obviously.)<BR/><BR/>2) I thought he <I>wasn't</I> MarcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244873.post-1162451214567552082006-11-01T23:06:00.000-08:002006-11-01T23:06:00.000-08:00alright, summerisle: let's see what you got!alright, summerisle: let's see what you got!50PageMcGeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463123463076477367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244873.post-1162434091898158712006-11-01T18:21:00.000-08:002006-11-01T18:21:00.000-08:00This gives Marc a total of 33!
