    Lightbulb Observation about a key,Black13,Sallow guy

    Alright , let me see If I can explain this(well)::

    SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE SERIES !!! STOP HERE:

    In the 'Drawing of Three' , Eddie is in the Bahamas trading his Drugs for their drugs
    (sallow British guy) I believe that Eddie also had a Key to give to the British guy.
    A safety deposit key , or a 'Locker Key" or something like that. Eddie tells the
    British guy , he doesn't know what the key is for and he doesn't want to know.
    -
    I think that's what I remember, Can anyone confirm this for me ?


    --
    In book 7 , Jake puts something in a long term storage Locker in the World
    Trade Center ,(1999), then puts the key in his pocket . Nothing is EVER said about
    this key ever again . After this, Nothing is ever said about BLACK13 ,
    Nothing.
    The Ka'tet seems to forget about black13, all together .

    I believe the Key Eddie takes to the sallow British guy in 1987 , is the same
    Locker key that Jake put in his pocket in 1999.

    The sallow Brit , almost certainly, was a Low-man , working for the head guy "Sayer".
    They (Sayer, Sombra ,N.W. Positronics ) bought the key from Mr. Ballizare ,
    who sent it with Eddie.
    Mr. Ballizare didn't know what he had; or didn't want it. Its unknown how much
    Mr. Ballizare knew about the "Dark Tower",But He seemed to know something
    about it.

    The question is How did the key get from Jake's pocket in 1999 to Ballizare
    in 1987 . NOTHING is said about the key so it may have been buried with Jake
    In 1999 along the side of the road where King was run down by
    Brian"Sheemie" Smith .
    I personally believe that Irene Tasssenbuam had something to do with all this
    ...and maybe the child she carries...Roland's Child:: but this only only MY theory !
    I seem to remember that Irene was there, when Jake was buried .

    I don't believe Black13 was destroyed on 9-11-01 , I never have .
    The Dan-Tete , the scrimshaw Turtle, maybe gone forever, but not black13.

    Am I correct about all this ? Does the Ka'tet just 'forget' about Black13?
    If so, that is a mighty big 'hole' in the plot . So big, in fact,that is must have been
    "On purpose" .(and FOR 'The Purpose')

    There are about 109 more Dark Tower books to be written. I hope
    Sai Kings writes at least one or two.,

    I believe we will find out some day that Ballizare had Mafia connections to
    the Old mafia guy in 'Salems Lot' and to the "mafia group" that frequented the
    Overlook Hotel. Maybe Mr. Ballizare stayed at the Overlook, as a child, or
    as an adult. I believe that Sombra had (has) a human component and it was
    the Mafia guys from the Overlook , along with Ballizare and the guy from The Lot.

    It was not clear to me what caused the "Beam Tsunami" that lifted Eddie and
    Roland out of their car seats ...
    Was it the Birth of Mordred ? > the death of Father Callahan ? Or the appearance
    of the great 'thinny thing' in Cara Laughs ? or what ?

    any help here would be great .

    Huh...you make some mighty fine points, and you might be correct. I've only read the series twice, though, so I'll let a more "constant" reader debate it with ya...

    Same here. I'm thinking of beginning a third journey, so I can pick up on the nuances I missed the first two times around.

    Tiny, I've taken the journey 5 times now and still find something new each time. Maybe six will do the trick.

    I'm only on my second trip to the tower, and reading very slowly. I do have Robin's book. tiny, do you have the book? I'm just figuring out how to search on my Kobo, but I'll try. If I find anything I'll let you know.

    Doesn't the Tet Corporation say that they took Black 13 out of the storage locker and took care of it when Roland visits them in the tower that houses the rose? I could very well be wrong about that, but that's what my brain is saying.

    Tiny does have a way of making me want to re-read again and again

    You must do very well at your real-life job. Details, details
