As Chuck breathes his last breath, Marty's world goes black. His brother-in-law tells Chuck's son a theory that people contain whole worlds inside them that fall to ruin when they die. The story then introduces Chuck, who is dying in a hospital bed.

Oddly, there are ads dedicated to someone named Chuck Krantz, thanking him for "39 great years" everywhere.

The internet has stopped working, the electricity cuts out, natural disasters are ravaging the world and the earth's rotation is slowing. In Act III: Thanks, Chuck!, Marty Anderson is walking around as the world is on the brink of destruction. The Life of Chuck consists of three acts, told in reverse. The drunk driver commits suicide, and Craig throws his old phone into the lake.

It mysteriously works, and Craig leaves a voicemail wishing the drunk driver were dead. Enraged, Craig locates his old phone and calls Mr. The drunk driver has a rich father who gets him a very light sentence - just rehab and drug testing. Many years later, a drunk driver kills Craig's beloved former teacher and her husband. He later switches to a new phone, and he finds he's no longer able to contact Mr. Mysteriously, the bully is found dead from suicide the next day. Harrigan's voice for comfort, and he leaves a voicemail about the bully. A few months later, Craig gets beat up by a bully. When Harrigan passes away, Craig sneaks the phone into Harrigan's jacket before he is buried. Harrigan an iPhone, which Harrigan becomes very attached to. Harrigan gives Craig $1 lotto-scratchers on holidays. Harrigan's Phone, Craig is a boy who works for Mr. He knocked both out of the park and now he's tasked with this odd-ball title.In Mr. "Gerald's Game" was thought unfilmable for a long time because almost the entire story takes place in the mind of a woman handcuffed to a bed and "Doctor Sleep" had the impossible task of bringing together Stephen King's world and Stanley Kubrick's iconic cinematic (if not terribly faithful) adaptation. The interesting thing about Mike Flanagan is he seems to specialize in adapting notoriously difficult-to-adapt King properties. Interestingly enough, Darren Aronofsky's production company, Protozoa Pictures, was the first to option this story, although it seems their option lapsed and King has now trusted it to Flanagan after the success of his previous adaptations, "Gerald's Game" and "Doctor Sleep." When we meet him he's dying and the story goes backward from there, all the way back to his childhood and his relationship with his grandparents, including his ghost-seeing grandpa. The story is told in three stages, one stage is a world on the brink of collapse and you don't know why and in parallel is the story of Chuck.
