Summary
In the emotional aftermath of her baby's sudden death, Em starts running. Soon she runs from her husband, to the airport, down to the Florida Gulf and out to the loneliest stretch of Vermillion Key, where her father has offered the use of a conch shack he has kept there for years. Em keeps up her running -- barefoot on the beach, sneakers on the road -- and sees virtually no one. This is doing her all kinds of good, until one day she makes the mistake of looking into the driveway of a man named Pickering. Pickering also enjoys the privacy of Vermillion Key, but the young women he brings there suffer the consequences. Will Em be next?

Nice story. Short but good.

The story itself was short and it was okay. There wasn't much build up or anything that really stood out especially for Stephen King. The narrator was good, easy to listen to.

A short, sweet listen. One can easily relate to the protagonist and her struggle to cope. The antagonist is so aptly described, one cannot help but form a detailed picture of madness in purest form. The narrator does an excellent job of conveying the story in a manner which enhances the listening experience. Highly recommended!

As always, King delivers a great story in a short amount of time. Listened to it start to finish in one short trip, worth the download.

As a runner, I found this novella about a woman who listens to her body and intuition incredibly empowering. I thoroughly enjoyed the terse narration and was appropriately creeped out by the dialogue. It's nice to have a shorter listen.
