What if you met someone who seemed to always know exactly what you need, and made it happen?
History
First publication: Cosmopolitan, September 1976
Review
This is another really good short story and it uses its length to keep to the point. I could see other writers stretching this out to a whole novel, and King could likely pull that off, but it doesn’t need to be. The story also raises the question, would we really be happy if we had everything we think we need?
