Is there a tie in here, maybe an early version of the institute? I haven't finished the short story yet so there may be some things I haven't come across yet. I know Dinky is a breaker but did he get his start at the Institute?

I can see where you're coming from with that but think it's probably coincidental more than intentional.
....nice catch!....and any of the Breakers for that matter......but agree that it's just happy coincidence.....
I can understand coincidental in that Stephen didn't base the Institute on the short story however it's not a stretch to connect and early, kinder, gentler version of the Institute to Dinky. Recruited instead of kidnapped, used for his ability to kill dignitaries, separated from family and friends. Again, I haven't finished it yet so I may just be spouting nonsense.

I'm thinking you may not have read The Dark Tower series? Dinky Earnshaw is a character there and tapping his abilities is definitely more sinister than a kinder, gentler version.
