The Stand: Complete and Uncut Edition/Chapter 4

> Suppose someone walked up to you and said: *You will spend eternity with your phiz in a bowl of soup*. It's like the old pie-in-the-face routine: It stops being funny when it starts being you.
>
>

**Chapter 4** is the fourth chapter of Book One of the Complete and Uncut Edition of *The Stand* by Stephen King. It contains the first appearances of Gen. William Starkey, Maj. Len Creighton, Frank D. Bruce and several other minor characters who are either dead or only referenced. It is the chapter in which it is revealed what exactly went wrong with Project Blue.

## Summary

***NOTE:* The following sections may contain spoilers.**
Gen. William Starkey sits popping downers and watching the monitors of the north tower at the Reservation, where Project Blue was conducted. Through the cameras, he sees all the dead people. The dead person who disturbs him most of all is Frank D. Bruce, who died in the cafeteria, facedown in a bowl of soup. Next to Starkey is a flimsy describing the 99.4% infectiousness rate and the Flight of the Campions.

Maj. Len Creighton enters and says they have quarantined Arnette, Texas. Of the people who first had contact with Charles Campion, all but Stuart Redman is sick. The media, Creighton says, has been told it is an anthrax outbreak. Creighton also warns of a Texas State Patrolman, Joseph Robert Brentwood, who stopped by Hapscomb's Texaco and then continued his rounds, carrying the virus from there.

The final bit of bad news Creighton gives Starkey is that Vic Hammer is dead by suicide. Hammer was the officer directly in charge of Project Blue. He was also Starkey's son-in-law, married to his daughter Cynthia. Starkey wonders how he's going to tell Cynthia, and how he can explain Campion's escape was possible because of a glitch in a "sniffer" that was supposed to shut the base down.

Starkey thanks Creighton. After Creighton is gone, Starkey returns to the monitors.
Bryce Redman

**Bryce Redman** is a minor character who appears only in flashback in Chapter 1 of the Complete and Uncut Edition of *The Stand* by Stephen King. The younger brother of Stuart Redman by three years, Bryce's younger brother Dev died in childhood of pneumonia. When their widowed mother died of uterine cancer just before Stu graduated high school, Stu gave up his own dreams of playing football to help Bryce get through high school. Bryce graduated college and became a systems analyst for IBM, becoming the only Redman brother to escape their dinky hometown of Arnette, Texas prior to the Captain Trips plague. Stu and Bryce have very little contact, and the last time they saw each other in person was at Stu's wife's funeral.
Tabitha King

Novelist, philanthropist and radio station owner Tabitha King, ca. 1978

**Tabitha Jane King** (née **Spruce**) is an accomplished novelist, radio station owner, philanthropist and librarian. Her three children are Naomi, a Unitarian Universalist minister, and Joe Hill and Owen, both of whom are writers like their mother.

As the wife of Stephen King, she is also the person to whom both the original version and Complete and Uncut Edition of the novel is dedicated, with the epigram:

**FOR TABBY**
**THIS DARK CHEST OF WONDERS**
## Biography (Before *The Stand*)

Tabitha Jane King was the third of eight children to Raymond George Spruce and his wife Sarah Jane Spruce (née White). Her father was a World War II veteran who served in the United States Navy. After the war, Ray went to work at his family grocery store. Ray was also a Democratic politician who served on the Old Town, Maine City Council. He died on May 28, 2014.

He was preceded in death on April 14, 2007 by Sarah, who had been valedictorian of her class and a devout Catholic. It is unknown whether Sarah was the inspiration for the class-obsessed Carla Goldsmith, but if it was not her, evidence suggests it was *certainly* her mother, Harriet M. White. In any event, Ray seems to be a clear inspiration for Peter Goldsmith.

On June 1, 1970, Tabitha gave birth to her first child, named Naomi Rachel King. Like Fran Goldsmith, she had become pregnant as a 20-year-old college student. The father was a fellow college student Tabitha had met at the Raymond H. Fogler Library at the University of Maine. It is unknown whether or not the father was initially as douchey to Tabitha as Jess Rider was to Fran, but it is possible there was some fiction drawn from reality.

Nonetheless, Tabitha married Naomi's father on January 7, 1971. The two would later have Joseph Hillström "Joe Hill" King on June 4, 1972, and Owen Phillip King on February 21, 1977.

It is unknown to strangers whether or not Tabitha has an "I-want" line which appears above her eyebrows.

## Biography (After *The Stand*)

Prior to her marriage, Tabitha Spruce had been a published poet, but in the 1980s, she became a novelist and short story and television writer. When her husband was injured in an accident in 1999 and spent the bulk of the 2000s writing short fiction if at all, she carried on the family work of longform fiction writing.

She continues to be a philanthropist with a particular passion for public libraries. With her husband, she owns three radio stations in the Bangor, Maine broadcasting area: WZON (AM Oldies), WZLO (FM adult album alternative) and WKIT (FM rock).

She and her husband Stephen split their time between their house in Bangor, another in Lovell, and a summer home in Sarasota, Florida.
Bert Hodges

**Bert Hodges** is a minor character who appears only in Chapter 3 of the Complete and Uncut Edition of *The Stand* by Stephen King. He is the eldest child of Ralph and Sally Hodges. Sally occasionally pays Lila Bruett a dollar to babysit him. On June 17, 1990, he is out in the backyard digging a hole while Lila watches soap operas.
Braintree

**Braintree, Texas** is a fictional town and location in *The Stand* by Stephen King. It is a small town upon which nearby Arnette, which is much smaller although it plays a much larger role in the story, relies for hospitals, schools and police.

## History and Demographics

Braintree is its county seat and contains the hospitals, coroner's offices, a small airport and the Texas State Patrol station. It also contains stockyards.

Assuming Arnette is based on the real-life Arnett, Texas in Coryell County, Braintree would therefore be based loosely on Gatesville. In the 1980 U.S. Census, Gatesville had a population of 6,078, but by 1990, that had nearly doubled to 11,492 people. Most of Gatesville's growth in the 1980s was due to the establishment of Texas Department of Criminal Justice prisons in that decade. As the original novel was written in the 1970s, long before those prisons were scheduled to be built, and as there is no reference in the Complete and Uncut Edition to prisons having recently been built there, it is fair to assume the fictional Braintree's population grew naturally in the 1980s without any population booms, other than perhaps a small influx of Arnette residents put out of work by the closing of the paper plant and shrinking of the calculator factory. That would place Braintree's pre-Captain Trips population at roughly 7,500.

## In Story

***NOTE:* The following sections may contain spoilers.**
Young Stu Redman, when he was about 10 to 12, lied about his age to get his first minimum wage job in the stockyards there.

When Charles Campion crashes at Hapscomb's Texaco just outside Arnette, he dies on the way to the hospital in Braintree, where he is examined by Finnegan the coroner, who calls in Dr. James of the Texas State Health Department, who in turns calls the federal Centers for Disease Control center in Atlanta.

Durante su etapa como asesino a sueldo, se le contrató para acabar con el famoso bardo y héroe de la Marea Verde, Robert Brandigamo. Es posible que tuviera que ver con una relación amorosa del músico con la mujer de un mercader. Francisco casi consiguió su objetivo en un primer encuentro pero los Hermanos de la Expiación salvaron al bardo de la muerte. En un segundo duelo parece que el bardo se hizo con la victoria.
The Reservation

**The Reservation** is a location in *The Stand* by Stephen King. It is a United States Army base where Captain Trips is kept, if not the place where it was engineered. It is the place from which Charles Campion and his family escape when the virus breaks loose, thereby spreading the plague across the country and around the world.

It appears, in one form or another, in most adaptations.

## History and Demographics

The Complete and Uncut Edition states it is in the California desert, which would likely place it in the southeastern part of the state. Other versions and adaptations have specifically placed it in northern - or more accurately, *northeastern* - California. In any event, it is approximately 1700 miles from Arnette, Texas.

## In Story

***NOTE:* The following sections may contain spoilers.**
Because of its distance from Arnette, the Campions would have had to have stopped for food and gas at least a few times while driving to the location where they died.

Its work is so classified, not even the guard at the vehicle depot is informed when something goes wrong, and he lets the Campions drive through. Indeed, not even Charles Campion himself knows what has gone wrong when Captain Trips ravages the base.

Baby LaVon was born there.

Cameras in every angle allow Gen. Starkey to monitor it, although it does him little good.
Victor Palfrey

> I seen cholera back in 1958, down near Nogales, and it looked something like this.
>
> Chapter 1, on seeing Captain Trips for the first time

**Victor "Vic" Palfrey** is a supporting character who first appears in Chapter 1 of the Complete and Uncut Edition of *The Stand* by Stephen King. He is one of the witnesses at Hapscomb's Texaco outside Arnette, Texas when Charles Campion crashes his car, ending the Flight of the Campions.

## Story Arc

***NOTE:* The following sections may contain spoilers.**
Victor Palfrey is a resident of Arnette, Texas, and one of the regulars at Hapscomb's Texaco. Like Bill Hapscomb, he has been to Mexico in decades past and seen something horrible there, but while Hap witnessed a gas station explosion, Vic saw a cholera outbreak. Vic retired from his job as a machinist in 1984, and he now spends his nights hanging out at the Texaco, drinking beers and smoking cheap, smelly hand-rolled cigarettes and arguing with Hap, whom he alone is not afraid to oppose, as he is the old man of the group. Stu Redman is the younger man he most respects, having called him "Old Time Tough."

Along with Hap, Stu and the other regulars - Norm Bruett, Tommy Wannamaker and Hank Carmichael - Vic is a witness when Charles Campion crashes into Hap's fuel pumps. The telltale black swelling in the neck and under the eyes of Campion and his dead wife and daughter remind Vic of cholera. (Chapter 1)

The next day, Vic is at Hapscomb's Texaco when Hap's cousin Joe Bob Brentwood arrives to warn them under sworn secrecy as to their source that a quarantine may be coming. When Hap sneezes, Vic admits he had woken up with a headache, cough and sneeze, also, and although aspirin has helped, he's still full of snot. He suggests it may be what Campion had, which spooks Hap and Joe Bob. (Chapter 3)

The Stand: Complete and Uncut Edition/Chapter 1

> Hapscomb's Texaco sat on Number 93 just north of Arnette, a pissant four-street burg about 110 miles from Houston.

> *first line*

**Chapter 1** is the first chapter of Book One of the Complete and Uncut Edition of *The Stand* by Stephen King. It contains the first appearance of Stuart Redman, Bill Hapscomb and the other regulars at Hapscomb's Texaco, the only appearance of several minor characters - many in flashback for Stu's backstory - and the last appearance of Charles Campion. It is also the first appearance (in the Standverse) of Arnette, Texas and references nearby Braintree. It is the chapter which concludes the Flight of the Campions.

## Summary

***NOTE:* The following sections may contain spoilers.**
Stu Redman and his friends Norm Bruett, Tommy Wannamaker, Hank Carmichael and Vic Palfrey are sitting around their friend Bill "Hap" Hapscomb's Texaco station just outside of Arnette, Texas, drinking beers and talking politics, as they so often do nights. Hap believes printing more money will curb inflation, and Vic is explaining why that won't work.

Stu, as usual, says almost nothing. The strong, silent type, he is a former high school football player and Vietnam War veteran who, upon the death of his mother, found himself stuck in this tiny town 110 miles outside Houston. He has long ago stopped dreaming of getting out, although his younger brother, Bryce, has.

While Hap and Vic argue and Stu reminisces, Stu notices an old Chevy moving 15 miles an hour but not slowing toward the fuel pumps. Stu shuts them off just in time, as the car crashes into them. The men rush out of the gas station to find the driver is very sick with some kind of infection that has apparently already killed his wife and daughter. Although Vic says it looks like cholera, the telltale black bulges on the neck and under the eyes - which are developing on the driver - make him one of the first people to witness victims of Captain Trips. The stench of death in the car makes Norm and Hank vomit.

Hap and Tommy take the driver into the station, where in delirium, he asks after his family. They lie and tell him everyone is fine as they call an ambulance, which arrives with friends of theirs, Billy Verecker, Monty Sullivan and Carlos Ortega. Hap asks to ride with the EMTs and has Stu call the Texas State Patrol and Hap's wife Mary.

On the ambulance ride to nearby Braintree, the Chevy driver dies. Hap checks his wallet to find his name was Charles D. Campion.
Atlanta

**Atlanta, Georgia** is a real-life city and location in *The Stand* by Stephen King. It contains the Centers for Disease Control hospital where Stuart Redman and the other residents of Arnette, Texas and neighboring Braintree are first taken after quarantine.

**Lila Bruett** is a minor character who appears only in Chapter 3 of the Complete and Uncut Edition of *The Stand* by Stephen King. She is the wife of Norm Bruett and mother of Luke and Bobby. She likes watching soap operas such as *The Young and the Restless* and occasionally babysits for her friend Sally Hodges, who has three children. When Sally's youngest child Baby Cheryl has a loud cough that makes her turn purple, Lila slaps out a lot of phlegm from her and assumes it is the croup, which both her boys had. It never occurs to her she has passed on Captain Trips, which she herself got from Norm, who himself caught it from Charles Campion the night before.

**"Baby LaVon" Campion** is a minor character who appears alive only in the prologue to the Complete and Uncut Edition of *The Stand* by Stephen King. She was born on the Reservation, where her parents moved when her mother, Sally, was still pregnant with her. Her father, Charlie, dotes on her and is always willing to give her horsey-rides, which is why it is so strange when he comes home at 2:15 a.m. on or about June 14, 1990 and refuses to give her what she wants as he says the family must pack and leave immediately. By 3 years old, she is already potty-trained and does not need diapers packed for her. She is dead by the time the Campions reach Arnette, Texas, most likely the first child to die of Captain Trips.

**Stuart "Stu" Redman**, called "East Texas" by his friend Glen Bateman, is a main character who first appears in Chapter 1 of the Complete and Uncut Edition of *The Stand* by Stephen King. A "strong, silent" type, he is the main heroic character of the novel and most subsequent adaptations. He is the first person in the novel to encounter Captain Trips who proves to be immune. He is likely in part based on King's adopted elder brother, David Victor.

Under the Four Great Races hypothesis, he represents the "Red," or indigenous Americans.

## Backstory

Stuart Redman was born and raised in Arnette, Texas, a small town in east Texas north of Houston. Small as it may have been in his childhood in the 1950s and '60s, it is even smaller now due to the closing or shrinking of the two factories that were its main industries.

Stu was the eldest of three brothers, ahead of Bryce and Dev Redman. His father was a dentist who died when Stu was seven, and after that, his mother worked as a waitress and raised her sons alone. Stu began working at about age 10 at stockyards for minimum wage, having lied about his age. Around the same time, Dev died of pneumonia.

Stu played football in high school and was good enough there was a chance he could get a scholarship. He was encouraged by his mother, who referenced Eddie Warfield, a local hero and success story who had been a star quarterback. However, when she died of uterine cancer just before Stu graduated, he went to work at one of Arnette's only industries - a calculator factory - so he could raise Bryce, who would graduate college and move to Minnesota.

After Bryce graduated high school, Stu joined the Army and served in Vietnam, then returned to Arnette and the calculator factory. He was happily married for 18 months until his wife also died of uterine cancer.

On the evening of June 16, 1990, Stu is one of the few people still working in the calculator factory, where most of the business was being lost to Taiwan. He has given up all hope of ever leaving Arnette.

## Story Arc

***NOTE:* The following sections may contain spoilers.**
Stu is one of the six witnesses to the end of the Flight of the Campions, and in a sense, he is the *first*, because the other five - Bill Hapscomb, Norm Bruett, Tommy Wannamaker, Hank Carmichael and Vic Palfrey - are too preoccupied with talking to notice Charles Campion's Chevy slowly swerving down Number 93. Stu notices, and he shuts off the pumps moments before the Chevy crashes into them. (Chapter 1)

Don Brautigam

**Don Brautigam** was a cover artist who painted the cover to the original 1980 Signet paperback version of *The Stand*. The image is mostly black, with the dark blue outline of a face floating over a light blue-lit horizon and two red eyes, one of which intersects with the red of a crow, which is one of the many forms villain Randall Flagg can take. The image would later inspire the cover to author Stephen King's 1989 novel *The Dark Half*, which similarly intersects bird and human eyes.

His cover won the 1980 Marketing Bestsellers Award for Cover of the Year.

## Biography (Before *The Stand*)

Don Brautigam was born in Paterson, New Jersey on September 12, 1946, and in 1971, he graduated from New York City's School of Visual Arts. Most of his work came as an album cover artist, and he had already contributed several famous covers for James Brown and Herbie Mann at the time Signet asked him to paint the first edition paperback cover for *The Stand*.

## Biography (After *The Stand*)

The success of his cover for *The Stand* led to Signet hiring him to design a cover for the 1982 first paperback version of Stephen King's 1978 short story collection *Night Shift*. Brautigam's eventual design was a blue outer cover with stencils revealing eyes. Upon opening the outer cover, the reader would find a painting of bandages being taken off a hand with eyes peeking out from the fingers and palm. This image was inspired by the collection's story "I Am the Doorway," in which an astronaut finds himself mutated in just that way. It was so striking, it would be reused as a cover for the British-American SF magazine *Omni* in their "Best of 1982" issue.

Brautigam returned to album art, where his preference for heavy use of blacks made his work perfect for heavy metal covers. His most iconic and famous album cover, and indeed work of art, would prove to be the cover to the 1986 Metallica album *Master of Puppets*, on which the band's logo stretches out marionette streams to an apparently military cemetery. He also received acclaim for his cover to Mötley Crüe's 1989 album "Dr. Feelgood," which depicts a rather demonic caduceus on a pale green tile background.

He continued painting until January 27, 2008, when he lost his battle with stomach cancer at 63 years old.

**The Circle Opens** is the prologue to the Complete and Uncut Edition of *The Stand*. It contains the first appearance of Charles Campion, and the first and only appearance alive of his wife Sally and daughter Baby Lavon, and the only appearance of the Reservation guard. It is also the first appearance of the Reservation, the Army base in the California desert where the superflu Captain Trips was presumably engineered and was kept until its escape, due to the flight of the Campions, which begins in this chapter.

It was cut from the original novel, but part or all of its events are depicted in most subsequent adaptations.

## Summary

A man named Charlie wakes up his wife Sally in the middle of the night and says they need to leave. He is a guard at a military base named the Reservation, and Sally realizes he intends to go AWOL. When he first starts packing and insisting they leave, she believes he has gone insane, or else this is all a dream. But when he takes the $40 she has saved up to buy a house, she realizes he is serious.

He is so frantic, he refuses to give his 3-year-old daughter Baby LaVon a pony-ride, despite her crying. Charlie tells Sally the people in the north tower of the Reservation are "D-E-A-D," spelling it out, and that the light had gone from green to red. He claims not to know how he escaped the guard room before the doors automatically closed, but he, Sally and Baby LaVon need to go far away.

As he is packing in a hurry, he has a slight cough. The Reservation guard seems to be unaware anything is wrong as they drive their Chevrolet through the gates. By the time they reach Nevada, Charlie's cough has worsened.

**Peter Goldsmith** is a supporting character who is first referenced in Chapter 2 of the Complete and Uncut Edition of *The Stand* by Stephen King. He is the father of Frannie Goldsmith, one of the main characters of almost all versions and adaptations. He is almost certainly heavily based on King's father-in-law, Raymond George Spruce.

> Chapter 2, in conversation about Frannie's pregnancy

**Jess Rider** is a supporting character who first appears in Chapter 2 of the Complete and Uncut Edition of *The Stand* by Stephen King. He is the biological father of Frannie Goldsmith's child, the eventual Peter Goldsmith-Redman. As a writer college student who impregnates his girlfriend, he is certainly a semi-autobiographical version of King himself.

## Story Arc

***NOTE:* The following sections may contain spoilers.**
Jess Rider is a 20-year-old published poet and student at the University of New Hampshire who had been dating his girlfriend, Frannie Goldsmith, for some time when they had sex on the beach of her hometown, Ogunquit, Maine. He rides a 10-speed bicycle and wears blue chambray workshirts and gold-rimmed glasses, and he is obsessed with his vision of himself as Lord Byron, a Great Romantic.

On June 17, 1990, he rents a room at the Lighthouse Motel in Ogunquit, in hopes Frannie will spend the week with him there, but she refuses after revealing she is pregnant, news which startles him. He does ask her to marry him and says he loves her. When she makes fun of him, he slaps her, but he later apologizes. (Chapter 2)

Cheryl Hodges

> Lila wiped up the mess with a Kleenex. She couldn't remember ever having seen a baby cough up so much snot all at once.
>
> (narration), Chapter 3

**"Baby Cheryl" Hodges** is a minor character who appears only in Chapter 3 of the Complete and Uncut Edition of *The Stand* by Stephen King. She is the youngest child of Ralph and Sally Hodges. Sally occasionally pays Lila Bruett a dollar to babysit her. On June 17, 1990, she makes Lila run into her room while she is napping because she screams and coughs loudly. Lila believes it to be the croup and smacks her on the back, which causes Baby Cheryl to cough up an enormous amount of phlegm and then go back to sleep.
Frances Goldsmith

## Fran Goldsmith

Fran Goldsmith carries her father's dead body downstairs to bury him in the garden in Chapter 28

### Occupation (pre-plague)

College student (University of New Hampshire)

### Cause of Death

*Survivor*

> Well, what I figure is one, somebody in the quality control department of the jolly old Ovril factory was asleep at the switch when my batch of pills went by on the conveyor belt, or two, they are feeding you boys something in the UNH messhall that builds up sperm, or three, I forgot to take a pill and have since forgotten that I forgot.

> Chapter 2

**Frances "Fran" Goldsmith**, also called **Frannie**, is a main character who first appears in Chapter 2 of the Complete and Uncut Edition of *The Stand* by Stephen King. She is the female lead of the novel and most subsequent adaptations. She is pregnant for most of the story and gives birth to her child (Peter Goldsmith-Redman in the novel) only at the very end. More so than any of his other lead female love interests, she is clearly heavily based on King's wife Tabitha.

Under the Four Great Races hypothesis, she represents the "Yellow," or East Asians.

## Backstory

Frances Goldsmith, daughter of Peter, was a college student at the University of New Hampshire, where she met her boyfriend, Jess Rider, a published poet. They made love on the beach of her hometown, Ogunquit, Maine, where she was a regular.

***NOTE:* The following sections may contain spoilers.**
On June 17, 1990, Frannie meets her boyfriend Jess Rider to tell him she is pregnant. She is not sure she is in love with him, and his imperfect reaction to the news confirms for her that she is not. (Chapter 2)

Stuart Redman's mother

**Stuart Redman's mother** is a minor character who appears only in flashback in Chapter 1 of the Complete and Uncut Edition of *The Stand* by Stephen King. She was married to a dentist but widowed in the 1950s and left with three children - Stu (who was 7), Bryce (4) and Dev (2). She worked as a waitress at the Red Ball Truck Stop just outside Arnette, Texas. When Stu was about 10 to 12, he lied about his age to get a hard labor job working at stockyards in nearby Braintree. Upon learning this, she was heartbroken, but she did not tell him to stop, because they needed the money. Around that time, Dev died of pneumonia. Stu discovered football in high school, and she encouraged this, seeing it as his ticket out of Arnette, but when she died of uterine cancer just before he graduated, it ended his and her dream.

She is likely based at least in part on Nellie Ruth King, the author's mother.
Reservation guard

The **Reservation guard** is a minor character who appears only in the prologue to the Complete and Uncut Edition of *The Stand* by Stephen King. He or she is completely oblivious to the outbreak of Captain Trips in the Reservation and is guarding the vehicle depot and reading a magazine as Charles Campion and his family escape the base.

In Braintree, Joe Bob Brentwood sees him examining Charles Campion's corpse and calling Dr. James of the Texas State Health Department.

## Summary

***NOTE:* The following sections may contain spoilers.**
The morning after the events of Chapter 1, Norm Bruett wakes up with a headache. He yells at his two boys, Luke and Bobby, and then heads into the kitchen, where he shuts off the radio, which is playing "Baby, Can You Dig Your Man?" There is a note from his wife Lila, who says their friend Sally Hodges is paying her a dollar to babysit for the day. As he cooks his breakfast, he gives a phlegmy sneeze.

At Hapscomb's Texaco, Hap's cousin Joe Bob Brentwood of the Texas State Patrol stops by secretly to tell Hap and Vic Palfrey the state and federal health departments both looked over Charles Campion's body, and they may be looking to quarantine everyone who was at the Texaco the night before. As Joe Bob is leaving, Hap sneezes, and Joe Bob tells him to watch out for that cold. Vic says he also woke up with a headache, cough and sneeze, and he suggests they might have caught something from Campion. Joe Bob suggests Hap close up for the day, and Hap agrees.

At the Hodges house, Lila is watching soap operas and fighting back a slight cough she has had all day. She hears a loud cough from the youngest Hodges, Baby Cheryl, who is turning purple. Lila swats her on the back to help Baby Cheryl cough up more phlegm than Lila has ever seen from a baby, and then Baby Cheryl goes back to sleep.
Charles Campion

> I don't even know how in hell I got out of the tower. Malfunction somewhere, I guess. Why not? Everything else sure-God malfunctioned.
>
> The Circle Opens

**Charles "Charlie" D. Campion** is a supporting character who first appears in the prologue to the Complete and Uncut Edition of *The Stand* by Stephen King, "The Circle Opens." He is the night watchman at the north tower of the Reservation, the Army base where Captain Trips is probably engineered and certainly kept. His escape from the base is what causes the plague to spread across the country and sets off the events of the novel.

## Story Arc

***NOTE:* The following sections may contain spoilers.**
Little is known of Charles Campion's (called "Charlie" by his wife Sally) early life, other than that his parents died in a housefire.

On or about June 14, 1990, at roughly 0200 hours, he is the night watchman in the north tower of the Reservation, a United States Army base somewhere in the California desert. He is playing solitaire when the lights switch from green to red, indicating something has gone wrong.

He rushes to his on-base home, wakes up Sally and says the two of them and their 3-year-old daughter, Baby LaVon, need to leave immediately. He packs hurriedly, and Sally does the same for the toddler, although Sally does not realize how serious the situation is until Charlie takes the $30-40 she has squirreled away as her "house money." Spelling the words out, he says everyone in the north tower is dead, and whatever killed them, killed them fast. As he packs their bags, he has a slight cough.

He expects to have to crash through the gates of the Reservation, but by the vehicle depot, the guard seems to notice nothing wrong. By sunrise the next morning, he is driving through Nevada, and his cough is worsening. (The Circle Opens)

He eventually crashes into Hapscomb's Texaco in Arnette, Texas, roughly 1,700 miles away from the Reservation. He dies minutes later on the ambulance ride to Braintree, unaware Sally and Baby LaVon are already dead of Captain Trips. (Chapter 1)

Their escape is what causes Captain Trips to spread throughout the United States and wipe out most of its population in late June 1990.

## Summary

***NOTE:* The following sections may contain spoilers.**
On June 17, 1990, college student Frannie Goldsmith arrives at the beach of her hometown of Ogunquit, Maine to meet her college student-slash-poet boyfriend Jess Rider. She is not sure she is still in love with him. She comes up behind him and startles him, and his shock causes her to giggle, fall on her back and bite her tongue hard enough to draw blood. He shows genuine concern, and she thinks she may be in love with him, after all. As they walk off the beach, she reveals the big news:

She is pregnant with his child.

He is, of course, shocked, and she asks to go to a nearby Dairy Queen, where she orders a Banana Boat Supreme, which she tries to eat despite the blood in her mouth. He just orders a Coke. Frannie asks him to throw away most of her banana split, and they discuss the options: Marriage, single motherhood or abortion. Frannie is the one who lists these options, and Jess becomes increasingly annoyed by her apparent flippancy. He says he rented a room in the nearby Lighthouse Motel, but she refuses to meet him there. He asks her to marry him, and when she refuses by insulting him, he slaps her in the face.

He drives her back to the beach, where he apologizes for slapping her, but she realizes she is truly no longer in love with him. They part ways.
