A writer's arms are broken by someone "trying to prevent [him] from writing the last chapter [of his novel]," a plot with similarities to Stephen King's 1987 novel "Misery." In his book "On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft," King admits copying text from comics into his notebook as a youthful writing exercise... maybe this was one of them?
