The world of Stephen King has some definite conventions I’ve noticed over the years. Here are some of he big ones.
*If you are young you probably have some sort of psychic power.
*If you have a developmental disability you definately are psychic.
*If you are young and have a disability you are insanely psychically powerful.
*If you are old and have some psychic mojo you are either going to be killed or kidnapped.
*Writers live incredibly interesting lives and are often menaced by their creations.
*Groups of children are often the targets of aliens.
