CHAPTER EIGHT
The two weeks following his acquisition of Kevin
Delevan’s Polaroid Sun were the most aggravating, infuriating,
humiliating two weeks of Pop Merrill’s life. There were
quite a few people in Castle Rock who would have said it couldn’t
have happened to a more deserving guy. Not that anyone in Castle
Rock did know ... and that was just about all the consolation Pop
could take. He found it cold comfort. Very cold indeed, thank you
very much.
But who would have ever believed the Mad Hatters
would have, could have, let him down so badly?
It was almost enough to make a man wonder if he was
starting to slip a little.
God forbid.
