Bill Denbrough Beats the Devil (I)
Bill is on a similar plane ride, and soon begins his own flashback. He is with Eddie during the asthma attack when Ben arrives. Bill speeds off on his bike Silver, takes a fantastic ride across Derry, and picks up Eddie's medicine from the pharmacy. We learn that the medicine is, in fact, tap water. Getting back, Eddie is revived, and Ben becomes their friend. They decide to meet up again the next day to rebuild the dam with Ben's expertise. That night, Bill has his Horrific Experience: looking at George's photo in his album, the photo winks at him.
This is a short chapter, but it helps develop Bill a lot more. We learn how his family has dealt with George's death, which is now being considered the first of the Missing Children spree that is still going on by the summer of 1958. King also introduces us to Silver, Bill's beloved bicycle. Silver is the definitive symbol of youth, for not just Bill, but all our heroes. King uses history and the power of memory throughout this work, giving it a certain beauty.
This chapter ends with our heroes agreeing to meet the next day, implying that that will be the next chapter. But we've got something in the middle first.
