I've got to stop answering questions so I can go to bed. Good night, don't let the bedbugs bite
Name an sK story a central feature of which is sand.
Hey All! I think having SKT a general SK trivia page is probably better. There's no confusion anyway. 
So, a story that takes place in the sand.... Hmmm. How about Duma Key blunt?
If an answer fits the description, I think it should be allowed. For instance, blunt maybe isn't looking for Duma Key but 'it fits' especially if the person doesn't specify in their question. Just throwing that out there! Have a great week, all!

His name was Bryan Smith - the only thing I can think of that he shares with Mr. King was a significant date. Bryan Smith died on September 21st 2000 (or was found dead on that date at least) which happens to be Stephen King's birthday.
Bryan Edwin Smith (b. 16 July 1957; d. 21 Sept 2000) was the driver of a van that hit Stephen King on 19 June 1999.
He was brought before a grand jury and was indicted on two counts: driving to endanger and aggravated assault. He said that he had been distracted by his dog, which at the time of the accident was loose in the vehicle. He pleaded guilty to driving to endanger, the lesser charge, was sentenced to six months' imprisonment (sentence suspended), and had his driver's license suspended for a year since he had nearly a dozen previous infractions on record. In an interview with Dateline NBC on November 1, 1999, King had commented: "There isn't really anything that he's got that I want except his license. Unfortunately that's a paper that's very hard to get away from anybody in any state."
On King's 53rd birthday – 21 September 2000 – Smith was discovered dead in his trailer in Brownfield, Maine. The cause of Smith's death was listed as an accidental overdose of the painkiller fentanyl, according to toxicology reports. Smith had suffered from a back injury and might have been prescribed the painkiller not long before his death. King publicly responded, stating: "I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Bryan Smith. The death of a 43-year-old man can only be termed untimely." During a 2001 interview with Bryant Gumbel on CBS' The Early Show, King noted that, besides dying on his birthday, Smith shared King's middle name.

No.Okie Dokie - have to think
way to go Neesy! Yep., isn't that weird? Them sharing that middle name., it's not very common. Or maybe it is up in Maine, ayuh?
Also, him dying or found on SK's birthday that is almost like something out of a SK novel!

In 2001 Stephen King gave a speech to a graduating class (Hint: the school's name starts with V). At the end of the speech what did he say he would do to help the locals?
Hint # 2 - it involved money and charity for a local group.
