The story
In 1985, writer Gordon "Gordie" Lachance reads in the newspaper that attorney Chris Chambers—his childhood best friend—was murdered.
Before meeting up with Vern and Teddy, Chris shows Gordie a Colt .45 semi-automatic pistol stolen from his father.
Chris encourages Gordie to fulfill his potential as a writer despite his neglectful father's disapproval.
