How It All Goes Down
- Ben Mears is driving through Maine, heading to Jerusalem's Lot.
- Ben thinks about 25 years earlier, when he first came to the Lot.
- A motorcycle almost hits Ben, and he is quite upset because of plot points you'll learn soon.
- Ben gets closer to the Lot and sees some familiar sites and remembers staying there for four years with his Aunt Cindy.
- Ben thinks about his wife Miranda, who was killed in a motorcycle accident. He has a tragic backstory, which means he is deep.
- Ben sees the Marsten House and stops the car; he's excited and somewhat scared to see it. (Need Shmoop tell you this is more foreshadowing?)
- Ben thinks about leasing the Marsten House, and then heads into Jerusalem's Lot.
