This is a surprising, magical realism tinged, slice of life novelette or novella from Stephen King, a writer who doesn’t get enough credit for his non-horror works. This probably could have been a smidge longer but King probably didn’t want it that way. It’s brisk and effective. I selfishly want a bit more time with these characters.
