The Taos complex
Midmorning, the day after this
The Calvins keep an extensive, if narrow, private library here: the complete works of Stephen King, and an annex of works considered to have influenced him. The books she's looking for are all still there, boxed up in one of the unused offices. Charlie spends maybe half an hour there, kneeling beside the cardboard boxes, dusty winter sunlight and shadow flickering over her hands as she checks off one title after another on her list.
The paperbacks make a heavy armful as she heads back towards Main.
She does take Copeland's advice this far: broad daylight, and a cup of tea, and something soothing on headphones. And her mental blocks, reinforced by Rachel Grey's power twined with her own, firmly in place.
He thinks it's too dangerous to mess with.
What do you think?
I think I'm dangerous too.
First: a book called Everything's Eventual, and a story called "1408."
