King is, well...the King at creating interesting situations and this was no exception. Yuck! Just yuck.
The ending felt rushed and incomplete, but his endings often do so I am no longer surprised or disappointed by that.

Not supernatural, but shows the darkness in people's souls. Leaves you feeling yucky.

An okay short story by Stephen King. The premise is interesting, but I feel that the potential is wasted in the way the story unfolds.

This was really short so there isn't much to say about it, I kind of felt that the sin Nora had to do wasn't that big of a deal, and se also got way to much money for it. I did think that if the sin would be a bigger deal like something really serious than this story would be really realistic! I like that you could see that it really changed and scarred her for life. Because it is so short and can introduce you to King I'm gonna say: Recommend.
