Community Thoughts:  Posted By: Storm - November 12th, 2010 7:03:29 pm EST Ack! .... misquoted ... Was trying from memory and just looked it up. "The thing that had been his son"....... Posted By: Storm - November 12th, 2010 10:19:24 am EST This is my favorite of all the short stories. I shudder when I think of the woman who was pushed through, screaming, with no destination gate. To be awake, aware, and alone, for all eternity - not being able to end it, not being able to do anything about it.... it boggles the mind. Horrifying. I would love to see this story updated with new dates, and made a screenplay/movie. I would be first in line. "The thing that was his son...." Terrifying! Posted By: WADE82270 - May 13th, 2010 1:44:41 pm EDT Another intriquing story from Skeleton Crew. What I love most about this one is the realism, the attention to detail, and the brilliant pace of the timeline as Mark Oates goes from relaying the jaunt invention story of Victor Carune, to assuring his family about how well practiced the process had become. Typical of King's works, this one has an amazing level of creativity in the details and as usual, makes you feel a strong connection to the story. The author leaves you to think about some interesting possibilites. The concept brought out of auto-cannibalization of the mind when awake during the jaunt is inventive and this is one short story with a very big scope. Just how King gets all this fascination into just a few scant pages without ever feeling rushed is a tribute to his creativity and to his immeasurable skill as an author. Posted By: Al - May 3rd, 2010 3:51:28 am EDT I love this short story. The science behind is quite good it seems almost real, intriguing, and quite terrifying. Whenever I read this story, I am always left asking the question: What did the kid see in the jaunt? Very cool story! Posted By: Delfino - April 20th, 2010 3:39:03 pm EDT i read this when i was alone in my house, parents and sister went to the store, when i finished it i grabed a hammer, (god knows why, theres no actual killer or monster in the story) sat in my room and jumped at every sound i heard. Scary as hell!! I still get nightmares!! More Thoughts » |
