“Blaze” (post 3) by Richard Bachman (Stephen King) (post 18): Blaze recognizes his multiple personality and that his George personality may harm baby

“He didn’t trust George with the baby. He didn’t know why, but he sure didn’t. Because, see, now George was a part of himself, and he most likely took all the parts with him when he went somewhere, even the George part. Didn’t that make sense? Blaze thought it did” (1, p. 150).

The above is rather insightful for a “dummy.”
