Never Look Behind You

Never Look Behind You

"Never Look Behind You" is an "extremely" short story (a single page) by Stephen King, published in "People, Places and Things", an 18 page book of single page short stories written by him and Chris Chesley.

"Never Look Behind You" is a simple story of a man who had spent about fifteen years in a job where he took people's money; likely a money lender. As he is counting his money, he is surprised, from behind, by an elder lady with a scar on her left cheek. Demanding to know who she is, and why she's there, the lady lifts her hand up. The man then dies.

An unspecified time later, two young men are wondering who killed him, but not enough to care that he's dead. The narrator explains that the two only survived because they didn't look behind them.
