Title-Premium Harmony
Year of Publication-2009
Format-Short Story collected in The Bazaar of Bad Dreams
Summary-Ray and Mary are in the car having an argument. He smokes too much. She eats too many sweets. What color ball should they get their niece? Only the dog in the backseat doesn't contribute to the argument. Finally a decision is made. Mary will get a special purple kickball for the niece and Ray will get the cheap cigarettes. Neither of them know this will be the last argument.
Pros-A series of ordinary things that add up to one hell of a bad day. What happened to the dog was unfortunate, but also added the cherry on top to the story. A brief return to Castle Rock.
Cons-Once again the ending fell flat.
Overall Rating-5/5
