Davy Jones Mannequin, full story below 👇🏻

This Mannequin used to be at Wet N Wild Emerald Point in Greensboro NC in the locker area which was appropriately called "Davy Jones Lockers" I'm unsure if the mannequin is still there.

They also had the skeleton version of Captain Jack Sparrow hanging in the season pass offices

Just finished reading Hearts In Atlantis for the very first time

Just finished reading Hearts In Atlantis by Stephen King for the first time ever.

My thoughts and minor spoilers below.

Released in 1999, this book featured 5 interconnected stories primarily taking place in the 60s around and during the Vietnam War

I had eagerly been anticipating reading this book as I knew the lead off story "Low Men In Yellow Coats" was very Dark Tower related and it was great to see Ted Brautigan's Fatherly like bond with young Bobby Garfield

The second story "Hearts In Atlantis" follows college student Peter Riley as he becomes addicted to a card game and his grades start slipping due to his addiction

"Blind Willie" is the third story and it follows Vietnam Vet, Willie Sherman who lives life as a few different people that he changes in and out of throughout the day and spends most of the day pan handling for money as a form of penance for an evil act he did as a child In the books first story.

"Why We're In Vietnam" the fourth story follows 2 Veterans, John Sullivan (also featured in the books first story) and Dieffenbaker as they reunite to attend a funeral of a third Veteran

And the final story "Heavenly Shades Of Night Are Falling" brings the book full circle and shares what Bobby has been up to since he was a kid in the books first story, he's back in his hometown, hoping to find his childhood girlfriend, Carol

I found this book fun, and the way all the stories interconnected was pulled off in only the fantastic way that King could put to page.

The first and second stories were my favorite and for me, the final 2 stories kind of drug on for a bit and the final story was a nice way to wrap up the entire book.

Glad I finally got around to reading this book and it's a must read for Dark Tower Fans just for the first story alone.

Now, as I continue on my journey of reading everything that King has written, it's time to put this book back in the case and get out the next book.

Tonight I Begin Dreamcatcher

Happy Reading Everyone!
