The Mist (1980)
“Turman, and I told Amanda, and then I told Billy. He seemed better this morning; he had eaten two donuts and a bowl of Special K for breakfast. Afterward I raced him up and down two of the aisles and even got him giggling a little. Kids are so adaptable that they can scare the living shit right out of you. He was too pale, the flesh under his eyes was still puffed from the tears he had cried in the night, and his face had a horribly used look. In a way it had become like an old man’s face, as i...f too much emotional voltage had been running behind it for too long. But he was still alive and still able to laugh…at least until he remembered where he was and what was happening.After the windsprints we sat down with Amanda and Hattie Turman and drank Gatorade from paper cups and I told him I was going over to the drugstore with a few other people.“I don’t want you to,” he said immediately, his face clouding.“It’ll be all right, Big Bill. I’ll bring you a Spider-Man comic book.”“I want you to stay here.”MoreLess
