Secret Window, Secret Garden: A writer has to deal with accusations of plagiarism from a particularly unhinged man. The Library Policeman: A man who is struggling to write a speech checks out two books on the subject, and becomes stalked by a strange man, and an equally strange librarian.

The Langoliers: The titular monsters serve as this as they a consuming the past and threaten to consume the main characters with it who have flown through a time rift. Craig Toomey serves as The Heavy as the most direct threat while The Langoliers are approaching.
