It is shown in form of:

Gordon is a successful writer whose books are made into movies like Stephen King. 

When Stephen King was a child he wrote a story called Stud City, and it got published. In The Body Gordon publish the same story as Stephen king. In that way Stephen King and Gordon is the same person.

Stephen King was born in Portland, Maine, and this is the setting of “The Body”. 

When Stephen King was four years old he experienced something which the central event in The Body is based on. He experienced that the one he was playing with got hit by a train. Although Stephen King doesn’t really remember the incident it may have affected him subconsciously. Back then he went home and was totally shocked. Couldn’t even speak or tell about the incident with his parents.
