Under the Weather by Stephen King: A Review

    Under the Weather is a short story by Stephen King, originally published in the 2011 paperback edition of Full Dark, No Stars. It is a chilling tale of denial, delusion, and death, featuring a man who refuses to accept that his wife is dead and keeps her in their apartment, despite the foul odor and the signs of decay.

    The story begins with Brad Franklin waking up from a nightmare. His wife, Ellen, is asleep beside him in bed; she isn't feeling well after a recent bout of bronchitis. Brad takes Lady, their dog, for a walk. As he leaves the building, he learns from the doorman that exterminators are coming in the afternoon to check on a foul odor that's suspected to come from a dead rat in a neighboring apartment. After taking Lady back up to his apartment and leaving his wife a note, Brad departs for his job at an advertising agency, leaving Ellen still asleep in bed.
