“Mr. Mercedes” (post 1) by Stephen King: “Parts”

“Inside each box is a pound of homemade plastic explosive…He hasn’t actually decided to use the plastic, but part of him wants to” (1, p. 106).

Comment: Persons with undiagnosed multiple personality often refer to their alternate personalities as “parts” of them that have minds of their own.
