The Stand By Stephen King
Pages 27-54
The next few chapters introduce a rockstar and a guy who is mute.
The rockstar is on a roll, and taking advantage of all the money he can blow. A friend of his explains to him that he needs to stop because people will eventually start taking advantage of him and he realizes how his real friends have slowly slipped away and all the people he knows are just talking to him for money and free drugs.
Another guy who is mute, is beaten up by a group of guys. The guys continuosly beat him wanting him to cry out, which he is incapable of doing. He is eventually "dumped" and left in the road and he passes out as a car breaks just a foot away from his face.
During all this cold like symptoms are being spread to many of the characters in the book often shown by sneezing.
