    Gracias, amigo.

    Next question:

    Which short story did Stephen King swear he would never again release to the public and why?

    Work for it, kids.

    Umm...the only one that comes to mind isn't a short story. Rage was allowed to go out of print and stay that way due to school shootings. If that's not it I don't even have a guess.

    You got it, my man. Stephen King retired Rage because of the Columbine Shootings. I live in Colorado and we all kind of went, "yeah, that'll help." WTF???

    Oh well, if he feels better, I guess.

    I guess you could call it a novella rather than a short story, but yeah, you got it!

    Aside from Peter Straub who has coauthored a fiction book with King?

    But Faithful was non-fiction. As far as I know, King hasn't collaborated on any fiction projects with anyone aside from Straub. Unless you'd count Bachman with the whole Desperation/Regulators deal.

    A clue then:

    Unless you'd count his childhood writing also.

    Well, while he did collaborate with his brother somewhat for Dave's Rag (which was a magazine Dave published and printed himself devoted to local events) the answer I was looking for was King's childhood friend Chris Chesley with whom he collaborated for a collection of short stories called People, Places, and Things.

    While you're answer wasn't the one I was looking for King did collaborate with him some so that makes you closest to right and it is rightly your turn.

    Well, I never would have gotten the right one!

    Why did King never join the military?
