Tip of the tongue

An excerpt from Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King 13 The waiter returns to ask if there will be anything else. Hodges starts to say no, then orders another cup of coffee. He just wants to sit here awhile, savoring double happiness: it wasn’t Mr. Mercedes and it was Donnie Davis, the sanctimonious cocksucker who killed his wife and then had his lawyer set up a reward fund for information leading to her whereabouts. Because, oh Jesus, he loved her so much and all he wanted was for her to come home so…

When I was nine or so, my cousin from Baltimore came to visit. A sophomore enrolled in a 6A high school was trying to inform little ole me from rinky-dink Tongue River who has less than a hundred kids on what high school was really like. She talked about sports, student council, and the minority groups. I asked her why there was no “white” club, and I remember feeling slightly resentful that there was a “Native American” club, and a “Japanese” club, yet not a “White” club. Can you believe that?…

While all of these attributes associated with money and power seems very appealing, there was a flaw in 50’s era ideology. These standards undercut basic human instinct. Males could not cry, express fear, or cower. Any deviation from the social norm would result in ostracization from the community. It was vital for men to adopt an emotionally disconnected…

How are you doing? I have not talked or written to you for such a long time, and I really regret about the lost connections between us. I can still remember playing basketball, soccer, and ping pong with you everyday after school. Although you were always more athletic than me, I was still very confident to challenge you every single game. Do you still remember the good times we spent in Mr. Wang’s English class? We were the troublemakers in that classroom, but Mr. Wang could tolerate our…

them to descend. Now, if you remember, an angel’s wings are unique unto only them, and Lucifer’s wings came as quite the shock for Hadraniel. Where Hadraniel’s wings were a deep dark blue and splashed with an intensely vibrant red-orange color at the tips, Lucifer’s wings were pitch black with one single lonely pure white feather at the end of his left wing.
