Bag Of Bones: Chapter 5 (pages 56-70)

This chapter deals with the increasing nightmares and visions Mike experiences and the trip to Key Largo he takes to get away from them.
Mike is starting to drink a lot. "The kind of drinking that could get a man in trouble." Oh yeah Steve we all know that kind of drinking.
The dreams are described in more detail and Mike starts noticing irregularities. He has a cut on his hand in the dream and in real life he get a cut on his hand. Hmmm.
An interesting question King poses in this chapter, well I guess interesting is one word for it, is: Is it OK to masturbate to your dead wife's picture?
Mike looks at a picture of his wife in a bikini and starts to become aroused thinking of all the sex they had together, which is described in semi-graphic detail, and that question "pops up." Mike doesn't succumb to temptation and controls himself. It's an odd situation but one that would probably occur in real life. So kudos to you Mr. King for creeping us all out.
Mike decides to go to Sara Laughs, the place of his nightmares, to put his fears at rest. He'll be heading out July 4th.
