That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is in French is a short story written by Stephen King and published in his short story collection Everything's Eventual: 14 Dark Tales. It focuses on a married woman in a car ride on vacation constantly repeating the same events over and over, each event ending with the same gruesome outcome.
As the story progresses, she begins to remember skeletons from the closet, starting as financially strapped newlyweds who went onto greater things with her husband's eventual success in the computer industry. It is implied, though never explicity revealed, that the man and woman are suffering eternal torment as a result of having an abortion when they were younger.[citation needed]
Stephen King suggested that this story is about Hell, and that "Hell is repetition". Similar themes have showed up in Storm of the Century and The Dark Tower.
