Incredible reading. Thank you for showing Stephen King the respect he deserves. I now wonder if the owner of that giant coloring book is God, or Fate if you prefer. The idea being that our lives have been planned out ahead of time and we're nothing more than God's chalk. Maybe that's why Stephen King has the girl mark herself with the pink chalk, because that's all she is. Also I find it interesting that you were talking about Royal hereditary diseases and then we end the book in a place called Royal Knob Tennessee.
I love the idea of the coloring book as God's. It's an interesting question: whether King's work leads us more to a vision of predestination or free will etc. Such an interesting question! And that observation about Royal Knob is so astute! I have a feeling King might also be playing with phalic references there. He's so good!
