Billy's struggle between his profession and his morals added depth to the story. I wonder what inspired the author to explore this moral gray area.

The story seemed to take a moment to breathe before picking up again. Was this intentional to develop Billy’s character or just a natural ebb in the narrative?

King vividly depicts small-town America, but I’m curious if the setting was based on a real place or entirely fictional. How much did the environment influence the story?
