Yesterday we had a wildfire come within 1 mile of our house. Had it came within 1/3 of a mile, we would have been told to evacuate.
Got me thinking.
Obviously with a 5 minute warning most people would grab their family and pets.
Now you can only grab 3 of your Stephen King items.
What 3 items do you take?
BTW, Each "The Plant" counts as 1 item.
Feel free to elaborate the reasons for your choices.
Wow... if carrying is not a factor. And I am only grabbing King items...
1) Whelan orginal - ROLAND
2) Ned Dameron - PLASTER MAN
3) My IT original cover artwork
EDIT: I would grab the art... as I could NOT replace those pieces... BUT I can the books... for instance love my Lettered IT... but there are 51 other letters I can have. So the art for sure.

Ouch, that's hard even with a collection as small as mine... I would take:
UK Night Shift 1/1
US 'Salem's Lot 1/1
US Skeleton Crew proof
This is a tough choice and I'm bound to rethink it and change my mind in the next five minutes, but off the top of my head: DTIII, It, and the talisman. Waste Lands is one of my favorites, and IT is the second SK book I ever read and it left a deep mark on the easily impressionable 12 year old that I was. As for the talisman, it's just got this magic to it that I can't shake (and it was while putting my music on shuffle while reading it that made me discover my favorite band, which I now have a tattoo of).
(I was right about rethinking my answers, I originally put down The Stand and as I was writing my reasoning I changed my mind for the talisman).
EDIT: This seems to be more about collectibles, my bad!! While I have a hearty number of SK books in different editions I don't have anything considered a "collectible" I think.
IT lettered (CD)
The other two I'm not sure yet. So I guess they'll burn.....:biggrin:
sk

If my collection burns, I go with it. Then it won't matter (to me).
I'd probably dither around and end up taking nothing.

1. Personalized Gunslinger 1st
2. Personalized 2nd state 'Salem's Lot in The Collector's tray case
3. Michael Whelan remarqued LSOE Artist Edition
Whelan signed Gunslinger 1st
Salem's Lot 1st
Dead zone 1st, signed and dated
Well, this seems like one way to get "Faithful" burned!!! LOL
If Jerome does not take his lettered Song of Kali with him, I'll take it for him.
In fact, I think I find it a lot easier to decide what other people should take with them instead of what I'd take myself!
Carrie PS Lettered
Cujo Lettered
DT I S/L
I think that is a cool idea.Quote:

What would Bob take? That's the "burning" question.
The Shining US 1st (signed in Paris)
Mr Mercedes UK 1st (first ever Fathers Day gift from my daughter)
Signed Revival US 1st (amazing gift via member(s) here on the site)
Most of the S/L's etc I have are replaceable - the above 3 books mean a lot to me.
My choices for Bob
- Lettered Firestarter
- Additional lettered Firestarter
- DNA sample recovered from SK bedsheets Ala "Dedication"
Hahaha :D
the drum
2 of the 5 boxes of the Doubleday collection
but I'd probably burn up attempting to get the rest out.
