What a sad story indeed. You see that so often: talented people throwing 
away their life for the ephemeral pleasures of artificial paradises. The 
tuit is very eroded but on the reverse side there are still some very 
faint marks that resemble writing of some sort. I seem to recognize a 
'S' rune. Do you think this could be one of Stephen's originals?
