by Stephen King

Smucky the Cat, He was Obediant

One small Maine town. One big rambling house near a two-lane highway. One family with small children and a cat. An occasional speeding big truck. One Micmac burial ground. Possible Wendigo. St. Elmo’s fire. Seductive promises. Ungodly temptations. Bad synergy.

Dedication:
For Kirby McCauly
Firstline:
Louis Creed, who had lost his father at three and who had never known a grandfather, never expected to find a father as he entered his middle age, but that was exactly what happened...although he called this man a friend, as a grown man must do when he finds the man who should have been his father relatively late in life.
