The Woman in the Room
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is the title of a short story written by Stephen King and published in his Night Shift collection. This simple tale offers no horror or supernatural elements that have made the author so renowned, but stands on its own merits as another example of his ability not as a horror writer, but as a writer.
Narrated from the perspective of a man burdened with deep remorse and pain as he decides to euthanize his terminally ill mother with sleeping pills.
