Loved SK's inspiration:
King states in the foreword for this short story that the idea came from a dream about a person pouring change into the storm drain |

I vaguely remember this story, wasn't it Dinky from TDT discovering his psychic powers or something of the like? Isn't it the CIA or something that have him take out foreign hostiles or something or another? Its weird that the book would be named after this story, as I don't think its the best of the collection, but hey. I believe Dinky finds out who he's really taking out, and turns on the people who put him up to it.
SK is the man.

Did anyone else notice that the lights at the Kart Korral were mercury vapor lights and not arc sodiums?

I saw this and was wondering, didn't Steve write a TV show called Golden Years?
There was this show me and Pug used to watch one summer back when we were little kids. Golden Years, it was called. You probably don’t remember it.
King, Stephen. Everything's Eventual: 14 Dark Tales (p. 252). Scribner. Kindle Edition.
I don't think many people do remember it.

Almost always, when Steve describes lights in a parking lot, they are arc sodiums. Joe Hill has even put them in his books. |

With you mentioning that, isn't there something like that in Black House? I vaguely remember that, when Jack's Dad gets murdered or something. |

This isn't a favorite but I enjoyed this story. I like the Dinky character.
It's like Ricardo Montalban said in The Naked Gun, the best assassin the the assassin that doesn't know he's an assassin.

King called Golden Years a "novel for television"; it originated as an idea for a novel that sat in his notebook for years.[1] He "wrote the first five episodes and outlined the last two."[1] King credited Twin Peaks for making it possible for Golden Years to be produced:[1]
"Up until Twin Peaks came on, the only sort of continuing drama that TV understood was soap opera, Dallas, Knots Landing, that sort of thing. To some degree David Lynch gave them that. But he turned the whole idea of that continuing soap opera inside out like a sock. If you think of Twin Peaks as a man, it's a man in delirium, a man spouting stream-of-consciousness stuff. Golden Years is like Twin Peaks without the delirium."
The miniseries was intended to lead into a regular series, and therefore ended on a cliffhanger. CBS, however, decided not to pick up the option on the full series, and it was never realized. King asked for four hours of airtime in the following spring to finish the story, but CBS denied him this as well.[2] The home video version changes the last few minutes of the final episode to give the story an optimistic ending. |

Not one of his best but decent enough story. Dinky is an interesting character.
