Oh my, you MUST get that book back!. It is Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King and IT IS FANTASTIC!. It has 3 or 4 different short stories and the one you are thinking of is "Low Men in Yellow Coats!."

If you aren't familiar with Stephen King's Dark Tower series, you are missing out!. This is one of the stories that ties in with that series!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
