Just started listening to IT audio book and so I'm driving along and I almost get in a wreck hearing this passage---a lesser writer would have said "the memories came back" but Mr. King stunned me with what he did with this--from IT chapter five:
All the thoughts and memories were catching up-in Bill, gee, we almost lost sight of you for awhile there, but here we are-rejoining him, climbing up his shirt and jumping into his ear and whooshing into his brain like little kids going down a slide. He could feel them settling into their accustomed places, their feverish bodies jostling each other. Gosh! Wow! Here we are inside Bill's head again! Let's think about George! Okay! Who wants to start?
