Sorry, Right Number

I looked through the threads but haven't found one dedicated to this story. I wonder, doesn't anyone like it?
I just read this story yesterday, so I'm still overwhelmed with emotions from reading it. To my mind, it was just great - although I didn't have much time for reading, because it was very late, I still couldn't go on without finishing the story. In fact, I did it rather quickly, because it was sooo exciting!
Unfortunately, I haven't read the whole book yet, so I can't say if it's going to become my favorite story of the collection so far. But it will always be, at least, one of my favorites.
What do you think about the story?

I think I saw it referred to as a "predestination paradox", and that sums it up-but in such an inimitable King way...

It's one of my favorite of sK's short stories. I remember being impressed at his expert achievement of such a difficult concept.

I loved it, sad and creepy as it was. My Uncle died in a motorcycle accident when I was six and I had dreams that I went back in time to try to stop him from going out that night, this story made me think of those dreams.

This was adapted for an episode of Tales from the Darksaide back in the day. I recall that being pretty good (by TFTDS standards anyway). That series also had Word Preccessor of the Gods as well.
