Yes. Paul wrote almost constantly. This was shortly, after he had asked the traditional when-the-sleeper-wakes question and she had told him he was in the little town of Sidewinder, Colorado. From — Then, cutting cleanly through this like a sharp knife, came her agitated, almost-screaming voice: Do you think that when they put me up there on the stand in Den — Up on the stand. He could see fifteen or twenty little boys and girls sitting in a circle in one shady corner of a playground, all of them wearing Malden Community Center tee-shirts, all listening intently as the counsellor explained how the game was played. The urge to laugh had dissipated when he realized that Annie might know everything about the deus ex machina except the name. He scratched it along the rough dark-brown strip on the back of the book a third time and a pale-yellow flame bloomed at the end of the paper stick.He saw it near the door and rolled over to it. Her shadow falling over him. Might he not have a chance? He almost hoped it did. "I'll make sure you get the books.

Although the picture accompanying the obit was even grainier and fuzzier than usual, Paul saw that Paulette Simeaux made "Queenie»Beaulifant look like Thumbelina. Some, like Motrim and Lopressor, the hypertension drug his father had taken during the last three years of his life, he knew. I didn't even suggest she get another used typewriter from Nancy Whoremonger or whoever that woman was, one with all its keys intact. No long, muddled nights spent bar-hopping, followed by long, muddled days spent drinking coffee and orange juice and gobbling vitamin-B tablets (days when if his glance so much as happened upon his typewriter, he would turn away, shuddering). And he would probably let them — but in fact what he did was nothing more than a final staggering grab for self-preservation. The counsellor had had a stopwatch, and Paul Sheldon's dozing mind saw it with brilliant clarity, although he had last held its honest silver weight in his hand more than thirty years ago. "She waved a hand at him impatiently, and he understood it would be better — today, at least — not to interrupt her. "He pressed his mouth against hers and plunged his hands deeply into the glory of her chestnut hair, and for a few moments there was nothing at all, except for the two of them. He did not want to look at the typewriter and for awhile resisted, but at last his eyes rolled helplessly toward it. In a novel a car might be able to float right out of the story — I guess I could make people believe it if I had to — but in real life, no way. "I don't think they'll come tonight — except maybe to cruise by — but they will come. It had been five days since his expedition into the bathroom and the parlor, and he had recuperated from that experience faster than he would ever have believed. The pain had begun to mutter up and down his legs again, and it was speaking even more -loudly from the area of his pelvis — he had been sitting up for nearly an hour, and the dislocation down there was complaining about it. When Paul asked", him, out of idle curiosity, what he thought the paperbacks rights for such a book might fetch, Charlie brushed his long hair away from his forehead, lit a Camel, and said: "I believe we could set a floor at ten million dollars and then conduct one hell of an auction. Once — he would have sworn it was so — that hole had been as big as the bore of the Lincoln Tunnel. Paul looked at the pile of paper sitting on the board beside the hateful Royal typewriter. This was a thought he tried consciously to discourage — it was both useless and gruesome — but the thought of life without Misery was so terrible that it sometimes crept up on him and surprised him. I knew the snow would cover him up, and I thought the spring melt would carry him away if I left him in the stream-bed. The morning of the fifteenth dawned windy and dull with clouds, and Annie changed. It made the needle of some internal Geiger counter swing all the way over to the end of the dial. She put her arms about his neck, bringing the firm of her breast more fully into his hand. It seemed fair to say that the divorce really had been after a short illness — a year and a half of wedded bliss wasn't all that much.
