the moving finger

[SamanthaS]

I know this probably sounds silly, but this story haunts me. It scared me so much. I've had a disembodied hand phobia since I was about 5 and was flipping channels and caught the end of (I believe it's called) 'The Wax Museum'. A creepy hand came crawling out of the ground and I freaked!! I read 'The Moving Finger' over 4 years ago and I still don't shut the bathroom door in the middle of the night. I know I sound ridiculous. As someone else said awhile back, it reminds me a little of the bathroom scene with Bev in 'IT'.

I've finished reading the story today. Well...It was exciting, it was good. It was kind of strange, too...Sure, Sai King has a great imagination, I doubt any other person could make something like that
In a way this story was even creepy for me. When I started to read it yesterday it was already very late and I was absolutely alone...So after some 10 pages I got real scared! I started to imagine what would be with me if I went to my bathroom and saw somwthing like that...Oh, it's creepy indeed! And then I put the book away, having decided to finish reading it today So, this story managed to scare me and it is worth a lot (it's not so easy to scare me now). So, that story was just great!

I just read this story today. Very exciting, creepy and funny. Of all the things to crawl out of your sink...it has to be a finger. I especially love the line, "It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all outta bubble gum.!" I laughed out loud on that part. I was literally spooked by this one. The imagery is horrifying.

Recently, I read in Shivers VI, "I Found a Little Hole," by Nate Southard. This story reminded me of "The Moving Finger" from King.
Instead of a finger, there was at first, an eye, and so on.
