I don't even have the cockadoodie tree up yet 
Did the bad little kid remind anyone of Atropos in Insomnia? Same kind of malevolent little prick..
While I see your point, I saw him as an evil leprechaun.
I don't think we disagree at all doowopgirl,that is exactly how that nasty little bald doc was..
Kinda got a bit of Children of the Corn vibe from the image of the Little Bad Kid....or Chucky from Childs play
Haha, I'm just west of Scarbs, in the beaches!!! It took me FOREVER to find a place I could afford in this specific school district.
I got a bit thrown out of the story I think it was between the second and third chapter, it cuts back to the visiting room, and I think it was Barclay asked for a glass of water for Hallas, but it went from first person, "I waved to McGregor" to "Barclay said" I got confused and started wondering if there was a fourth person, the narrator, in the room whom I'd missed and I had to read back a bit. Did that throw anyone else?

We lived not far from the Scarborough Bluffs in the mid 60s - we had a house on Haig Avenue that backed onto the golf course (or was at least quite close to the golf course if I recall correctly).
The school I went to was called The Immaculate Heart of Mary. I got knocked unconscious on the playground once when I got too close to a bunch of boys who were playing a rather rough and tumble game.

Just finishe
Just finished this story. I was confused by the timeline as well.
The warden's last name is Toomey, which reminded me of Craig Toomey in The Langoliers. I think there are minor characters in The Dark Half and 11/22/63 (?) with that last name as well. Is this a popular name in the northeast, or just a connecting gem in the SK Universe?
I can't read this thread right now because I have not yet finished this story. But....Mr. King you have succeeded in scaring the heck out of me.
I prop two pillows up to sit and read in bed before going to sleep. Then, when I put the book down, I separate the pillows. Last night, as I pulled the top pillow off, it somehow tangled up with the bottom pillow (how? Just how?) and wrapped around my neck, feeling much like a hand.
I have no idea how this happened, but the more I pulled (fought) the more my neck was getting pulled. And I'm sure I
