I'm lagging seriously behind my schedule for this Stephen King short story re-read, and so here we are at almost one collection per year... I was hoping I could do at least two or even three per year... Still, we're finally at the point where I'm done with Skeleton Crew , and for that I'll be discussing the remaining short stories Morning Deliveries (Milkman No. 1) , its companion piece Big Wheels: A Tale of the Laundry Game (Milkman No. 2) , the terrifying Gramma , The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet , and last but not least The Reach .

Hello and hi! I hope you're starting a great and sunny week.
