Stephen King wants you to vote. And if you've ever had so much as a quick glance at his Twitter feed, you probably already know which way.

On Monday, the day before midterms, the horror master took to Twitter to post two final, pre-voting tweets.

The first contained a fairly blunt metaphor.

The second, meanwhile, was just fairly blunt.

We'll likely have to wait until first thing Wednesday to find out if people have followed his advice.
