Review: Excellent Short Story Similar to Stephen King's Shorts

This was a very enjoyable short story, and had shadings of some of the short stories I've read by Stephen King.What I really liked was how the author was able to get you quickly involved and in the heads of the two main characters, which I think is hard to do given word constraints of the short story format.  I actually could compare the male character's physical and mental degradation to someone I grew up with, although he doesn't have the magical remote control.  And who wouldn't want one of those remote controls?  I'm sure most of you would think of all of the good things you would do with it, but I am certain reality would kick in and you would be trying something a little riskier.As I mentioned above, there are some shadings of some of the short stories I've read by Stephen King, and the author nails it at the end with the conclusion of the story.  I really enjoyed this one and am looking forward to more from this author!
