The real Steven King lives in the "keystone" world, our world, and he has actually written himself into the Dark Tower series as as an important part of reality.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, the thing he may be hinting at is that since each of the multiverse's universes has its own unique timeline, the story takes place on an alternate earth, not ours.Claytonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10427928164050640466noreply@blogger.com
