Misery #1

Misery starts off with Paul Sheldon, a bestselling novelist who falls victim to psychotic nurse, Annie Wilkes, who happens to be his number one fan of his Misery series. At the beginning of the story, we find Paul Sheldon was on his way home from his Colorado hideaway after finishing off his latest book. While on the way home he is caught in the middle of a blizzard and runs off a cliff and gets badly injured. Afterwards he is found and rescued by Annie Wilkes who takes him to her house rather than a hospital without telling anyone. In the beginning Annie Wilkes appears to be of help by providing Paul Sheldon with medical aid and shelter, due to the fact that she was a nurse. After a time of caring for Paul, she discovers his new novel and reads, and after she finds out that the main character dies out of the series. With anger she destroys Paul’s only copy of the book, and she buys a new typewriter, called The Royal, and forces him to write a new copy of the way she wants it, called Misery’s Return.
