Synopsis
A hitman receives a package in the mail containing toy soldiers, but they aren’t inanimate plastic figures.
History
First publication: Cavalier, September 1972
Review
This story is awesome. The premise is, by now, familiar and the story is very much like a Twilight Zone episode. The idea of the toy soldiers creates that surreal horror of the ordinary becoming extraordinary and terrifying, even deadly. King keeps the action moving to the end. A very well-written story.
