But ait, here's an even better headcanon. I think King was an Agent early on in his life, but was suspended due to his developing drug habit. As per his list of termination options, his memory was impaired to the point where he could tell what was real and what was fantasy anymore, which his drug use furthered. It was unexpected that he took a turn into writing, however, and many of his stories came to feature what he remembered of artifacts. This is why a lot of his works involve objects with unusual abilities.
