Under the Dome

Stephen King UNDER THE DOME A Novel

In memory of Surendra Dahyabhai Patel.

We miss you, my friend.

Who you lookin for
What was his name
you can prob’ly find him
at the football game
it’s a small town
you know what I mean
it’s a small town, son
and we all support the team

—JAMES MCMURTRY
