Dolan’s Cadillac
Stephen King fans will immediately recognize the title - “Dolan’s Cadillac” is a short story that appeared in a King anthology. It’s a gripping tale of murder, obsession, and revenge, and I feel that it translated extremely well onto the silver screen.

Nietzsche’s “On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense”

Point of Origin story
