Isn't N a very very nasty story?

[OhmyGod!]

I’ve read it for the second time this weekend. And I kept thinking: This is the second time...I’ve read it twice. An even number.

I actually don't care I’ve read it even or uneven. But now I know. I just know and I know if I read it again...it will be the third time. And that's an uneven number. And I don't care...but I do know? Know what I mean?

Haha. Same with my cds. Last month I thought: 'Man, I’ve got a lot of cds'. So I counted them (213). Just for fun and so I could tell friends. But after this weekend I kept thinking: I’ve got an uneven number cds. One more and it's even. That’s 214. But 214 divided with 2 makes 107. Bad number. And all for fun. But the thing is...I DID think about it. And I know for sure that, yeah with a smile in the back of my head, I will think about it when I buy another cd. Maybe if I find two cds I will buy them. And say to myself: 'that's just funny, so I won't have the very bad number, good excuse to buy two cds'.

Haha. I love love Stephen King

You're kind of scaring me.

The story does make you think like that doesn't it!?

[OhmyGod!]

Yes, it does. And now this thread does. Because this will be the third answer...not so good. I hope someone makes it even...

In real live I work in a psychiatric setting (social worker). Some people have OCD. And when I first read the story, it made me look different to this behaviour. I know people don't have OCD for fun...but the story makes it like REALLY scary. Maybe it is also that scary for people with OCD. Why else would they wash their hands till they bleed? They have a different reason (well I hope...I hope there's no worse-than-hell-dimension coming thru), but just as serious. Weird eh?!

We all pick up a psychosis or 42 and 1/3rd on the way through.

Dear OMG,
Methinks KA brought you to the story N. for a reason, given your line of work..

I loved the concept of a Thin place where nasty beasties can come through unless the place is protected.
Just remember, you can count on us for support. We are Ka-tet.

Long days and pleasant nights.

Instead of reading it for a third time, do yourself a favor and watch the Flash version, its most excellent. Here's a link:

N. is seriously terrifying.
This has never happened to me before, but as N. was describing his encounters with AF, an unholy, unnerving terror stole over me. I couldn't look up from the pages, because I was sure reality was dissolving around me, sure that merely the knowledge of 'the thinness' was enough to bring it on onesself... it was terrifying, being compelled to read because not reading meant looking up and seeing horrible things... but eventually i looked up and everything was fine and the spell was broken.
Or maybe i just read the correct number of words (even) and pushed the encroaching darkness away temporarily...
sigh. stephen king rocks. i'm not reading his stuff late at night anymore, though...

I loved the story, it was probably my favorite of the Sunset stories, but right now I'm thinking You might have a problem, Do you arrange things too?
