Consider it retribution for you harshing all over my favorite short story! ;)

But seriously, I recall as I was reading All That You Love... that if it went in a particular direction it would have been more satisfying (to me, at least). But, hey, it's King's story and he can end it like he wants.

I see that we are in agreement on That Feeling..., which is another one of my very favorites.
