Writing "The Road Virus Heads North" by Stephen King

[Epitome]

[size=1][color=SeaGreen]Well, I am a HUGE Stephen King fan, and in one of my classes, we just read the short story by him called "The Road Virus Heads North." Now, this story gave me more chills than when I saw "What Lies Beneath" I think it was called (With Harrison Ford and I cant remember the actress's name).

Its basically about a man who is a "derranged" writer, much like King himself, who stops at a garage sale on his way home. He sees a painting that has a demonic look that was painted by a man who killed himself over the painting he had created. So the writer buys the painting, heads home, and not much good comes after that.

I dont want to explain anymore of the story because I dont want to spoil it for others. But have any of my fellow OBers read this story and what did you think? I read it the Friday before Halloween and I still get the chills over it when I think about it... *shakes from the chills*[/size][/color]
