''Everything's Eventual'' is the 7th story in Stephen King's is a collection of 14 short stories written by King and published in 2002. PLOT SYNOPSIS The story is told in first person perspective by a 19-year-old high-school dropout Dinky Earnshaw . Dinky fatuously explains that he's got a good job now. He used to be a clerk at the "Supr Saver," where he worked with morons and was relentlessly bullied by an aggressive dimwit named Skipper. But now Skipper's dead and Dinky's got a new job, where the main perks are that he gets his own house and his own car and virtually anything he asks for, including CDs that haven't been released yet. He also gets a small wad of cash each week, provided he doesn't look for the people who drop it through his mail slot, and that he remembers to destroy or throw away any money left over at the end of the week. In his usual down-to-earth style, King stretches the tiny details of this situation out to great length before finally settling down to the obvious and compelling questions: what exactly is this mysterious job, and what does a dead supermarket clerk have to do with it? Dinky Earnshaw later appears in The Dark Tower (series) . It's also the name of a blog from the UK - http://www.everythingseventual.co.uk |
