and forced。 
  They had seen caribou tracks in the snow and once the caribou themselves�察�a 
group of five standing motionlessly below the security fence。 They had all taken 
turns with Jack's Zeiss´Ikon binoculars to see them better�察�and looking at them 
had given Wendy a weird�察�unreal feeling�此�they were standing leg´deep in the snow 
that covered the highway�察�and it came to her that between now and the spring 
thaw�察�the road belonged more to the caribou than it did to them。 Now the things 
that men had made up here were neutralized。 The caribou understood that�察�she 
believed。 She had put the binoculars down and had said something about starting 
lunch and in the kitchen she had cried a little�察�trying to rid herself of the 
awful pent´up feeling that sometimes fell on her like a large�察�pressing hand 
over her heart。 She thought of the caribou。 She thought of the wasps Jack had 
put out on the service entrance platform�察�under the Pyrex bowl�察�to freeze。 
  There were plenty of snowshoes hung from nails in the equipment shed�察�and Jack 
found a pair to fit each of them�察�although Danny's pair was quite a bit 
outsized。 Jack did well with them。 Although he had not snowshoed since his 
boyhood in Berlin�察�New Hampshire�察�he retaught himself quickly。 Wendy didn't care 
much for it ! even fifteen minutes of tramping around on the outsized laced 
paddles made her legs and ankles ache outrageously  but Danny was intrigued and 
working hard to pick up the knack。 He still fell often�察�but Jack was pleased 
with his progress。 He said that by February Danny would be skipping circles 
around both of them。

  This day was overcast�察�and by noon the sky had already begun to spit snow。 The 
radio was promising another eight to twelve inches and chanting hosannas to 
Precipitation�察�that great god of Colorado skiers。 Wendy�察�sitting in the bedroom 
and knitting a scarf�察�thought to herself that she knew exactly what the skiers 
could do with all that snow。 She knew exactly where they could put it。 
  Jack was in the cellar。 He had gone down to check the furnace and boiler ! such 
checks had bee a ritual with him since the snow had closed them in ! and after 
satisfying himself that everything was going well he had wandered through the 
arch�察�screwed the lightbulb on�察�and had seated himself in an old and cobwebby 
camp chair he had found。 He was leafing through the old records and papers�察�
constantly wiping his mouth with his handkerchief as he did so。 Confinement had 
leached his skin of its autumn tan�察�and as he sat hunched over the yellowed�察�
crackling sheets�察�his reddish´blond hair tumbling untidily over his forehead�察�he 


 
 
looked slightly lunatic。 He had found some odd things tucked in among the 
invoices�察�bills of lading�察�receipts。 Disquieting things。 A bloody strip of 
sheeting。 A dismembered teddy bear that seemed to have been slashed to pieces。 A 
crumpled sheet of violet ladies' stationery�察�a ghost of perfume still clinging 
to it beneath the musk of age�察�a note begun and left unfinished in faded blue 
ink�此 �Dearest Tommy�察�I can't think so well up here as I'd hoped�察�about us I 
mean�察�of course�察�who else�拭�Ha。 Ha。 Things keep getting in the way。 I've had 
strange dreams about things going bump in the night�察�can you believe that and; 
That was all。 The note was dated June 27�察�1934。 He found a hand puppet that 
seemed to be either a witch or a warlock 。。。 something with long teeth and a 
pointy hat�察�at any rate。 It had been improbably tucked between a bundle of 
natural´gas receipts and a bundle of receipts for Vichy water。 And something 
that seemed to be a poem�察�scribbled on the back of a menu in dark pencil�此�
;Medoc/are you here��/I've been sleepwalking again�察�my dear。/The plants are 
moving under the rug。; No date on the menu�察�and no name on the poem�察�if it was a 
poem。 Elusive�察�but fascinating。 It seemed to him that these things were like 
pieces in a jigsaw�察�things that would eventually fit together if he could find 
the right linking pieces。 And so he kept looking�察�jumping and wiping his lips 
every time the furnace roared into life behind him。 
 
                                       * * * 
 
  Danny was standing outside Room 217 again。 
  The passkey was in his pocket。 He was staring at the door with a kind of 
drugged avidity�察�and his upper body seemed to twitch and jiggle beneath his 
flannel shirt。 He was humming softly and tunelessly。 
  He hadn't wanted to e here�察�not after the fire hose。 He was scared to e 
here。 He was scared that he had taken the passkey again�察�disobeying his father。 
  He had wanted to e here。 Curiosity 
  ��killed the cat�察�satisfaction brought him back�� 
  was like a constant fishhook in his brain�察�a kind of nagging siren song that 
would not be appeased。 And hadn't Mr。 Hallorann said�察 �I don't think there's 
anything here that can hurt you;�拭�
  ��You promised。�� 
  ��Promises were made to be broken。�� 
  He jumped at that。 It was as if that thought had e from outside�察�insectile�察�
buzzing�察�softly cajoling。 
  ��Promises were made to be broken my dear redrum�察�to be broken。 splintered。 
shattered。 hammered apart。 FORE�。� 
  His nervous humming broke into low�察�atonal song�此 �Lou�察�Lou�察�skip to m' Lou�察�
skip to m' Lou my daaarlin。。。; 
  Hadn't Mr。 Hallorann been right�拭�Hadn't that been�察�in the end�察�the reason why 
he had kept silent and allowed the snow to close them in�拭�
  Just close your eyes and it will be gone。 
  What he had seen in the Presidential Sweet had gone away。 And the snake had 
only been a fire hose that had fallen onto the rug。 Yes�察�even the blood in the 
Presidential Sweet had been harmless�察�something old�察�something that had happened 
long before he was born or even thought of�察�something that was done with。 Like a 


 
 
movie that only he could see。 There was nothing�察�really nothing�察�in this hotel 
that could hurt him�察�and if he had to prove that to himself by going into this 
room�察�shouldn't he do so�拭�
  ;Lou�察�Lou�察�skip to m'Lou 。。。; 
  ��Curiosity killed the cat my dear redrum�察�redrum my dear�察�satisfaction brought 
him back safe and sound�察�from toes to crown�察�from head to ground he was safe and 
sound。 He knew that those things�� 
  ��are like scary pictures�察�they can't hurt you�察�but oh my god�� 
  ��what big teeth you have grandma and is that a wolf in a BLUEBEARD suit or a 
BLUEBEARD in a wolf suit and i'm so�� 
  ��glad you asked because curiosity killed that cat and it was the HOPE of 
satisfaction that brought him�� 
  up the hall�察�treading softly over the blue and twisting jungle carpet。 He had 
stopped by the fire extinguisher�察�had put the brass nozzle back in the frame�察�
and then had poked it repeatedly with his finger�察�heart thumping�察�whispering�此�
;e on and hurt me。 e on and hurt me�察�you cheap prick。 Can't do it�察�can 
you�拭�Huh�拭�You're nothing but a cheap fire hose。 Can't do nothin but lie there。 
e on�察�e on� ─�He had felt insane with bravado。 And nothing had happened。 It 
was only a hose after all�察�only canvas and brass�察�you could hack it to pieces 
and it would never plain�察�never twist and jerk and bleed green slime all over 
the blue carpet�察�because it was only a hose�察�not a nose and not a rose�察�not 
glass buttons or satin bows�察�not a snake in a sleepy doze 。。。 and he had 
hurried on�察�had hurried on because he was 
  �─�late�察�I'm late�察─�said the white rabbit。�� 
  the white rabbit。 Yes。 Now there was a white rabbit out by the playground�察�
once it had been green but now it was white�察�as if something had shocked it 
repeatedly on the snowy�察�windy nights and turned it old 。。。 
  Danny took the passkey from his pocket and slid it into the lock。 
  ;Lou�察�Lou 。。。; 
  ��the white rabbit had been on its way to a croquet party to the Red Queen's 
croquet party storks for mallets hedgehogs for balls�� 
  He touched the key�察�let his fingers wander over it。 His head felt dry and 
sick。 He turned the key and the tumblers thumped back smoothly。 
  ��OFF WITH HIS HEAD� �OFF WITH HIS HEAD� �OFF WITH HIS HEAD�。� 
  ��this game isn't croquet though the mallets are too short this game is�� 
  ��WHACK´BOOM� �Straight through the wicket。�� 
  ��OFF WITH HIS HEEEEEAAAAAAAD !�� 
  Danny pushed the door open。 It swung smoothly�察�without a creak。 He was 
standing just outside a large bination bedsitting room�察�and although the snow 
had not reached up this far  the highest drifts were still a foot below the 
second´floor windows  the room was dark because Daddy had closed all the shutters 
on the western exposure two weeks ago。 
  He stood in the doorway�察�fumbled to his right�察�and found the switch plate。 Two 
bulbs in an overhead cut´glass fixture came on。 Danny stepped further in and 
looked around。 The rug was deep and soft�察�a quiet rose color。 Soothing。 A double 
bed with a white coverlet。 A writing desk 
  ��Pray tell me�此�Why is a raven like a writing desk�殖� 
  by the large shuttered window。 During the season the Constant Writer 


 
 
  ��having a wonderful time�察�wish you were fear�� 
  would have a pretty view of the mountains to describe to the folks back home。 
  He stepped further in。 Nothing here�察�nothing at all。 Only an empty room�察�cold 
because Daddy was heating the east wing today。 A bureau。 A closet�察�its door open 
to reveal a clutch of hotel hangers�察�the kind you can't steal。 A Gideon Bible on 
an endtable。 To his left was the bathroom door�察�a full´length mirror on it 
reflecting his own white´faced image。 That door was ajar and !  
  He watched his double nod slowly。 
  Yes�察�that's where it was�察�whatever it was。 In there。 In the bathroom。 His 
double walked forward�察�as if to escape the glass。 It put its hand out�察�pressed 
it against his own。 Then it fell away at an angle as the bathroom door swung 
open。 He looked in。 
  A long room�察�old´fashioned�察�like a Pullman car。 Tiny white hexagonal tiles on 
the floor。 At the far end�察�a toilet with the lid up。 At the right�察�a washbasin 
and another mirror above it�察�the kind that hides a medicine cabinet。 To the 
left�察�a huge white tub on claw feet�察�the shower curtain pulled closed。 Danny 
stepped into the bathroom and walked toward the tub dreamily�察�as if propelled 
from outside himself�察�as if this whole thing were one of the dreams Tony had 
brought him�察�that he would perhaps see something nice when he pulled the shower 
curtain back�察�something Daddy had forgotten or Mommy had lost�察�something that 
would make them both happy !  
  So he pulled the shower curtain back。 
  The woman in the tub had been dead for a long time。 She was bloated and 
purple�察�her gas´filled belly rising out of the cold�察�ice´rimmed water like some 
fleshy island。 Her eyes were fixed on Danny's�察�glassy and huge�察�like marbles。 
She was grinning�察�her purple lips pulled back in a grimace。 Her breasts lolled。 
Her pubic hair floated。 Her hands were frozen on the knurled porcelain sides of 
the tub like crab claws。 
  Danny shrieked。 But the sound never escaped his lips�察�turning inward and 
inward�察�it fell down in his darkness like a stone in a well。 He took a single 
blundering step backward�察�hearing his heels clack on the white hexagonal tiles�察�
and at the same moment his urine broke�察�spilling effortlessly out of him。 
  The woman was sitting up。 
  Still grinning�察�her huge marble eyes fixed on him�察�she was sitting up。 Her 
dead palms made squittering noises on the porcelain。 Her breasts swayed like 
ancient cracked punching bags。 There was the minute sound of breaking ice 
shards。 She was not breathing。 She was a corpse�察�and dead long years。 
  Danny turned and ran。 Bolting through the bathroom door�察�his eyes starting 
from their sockets�察�his hair on end like the hair of a hedgehog about to be 
turned into a sacrificial 
  ��croquet�拭�or roque�殖� 
  ball�察�his mouth open and soundless。 He ran full´tilt into the outside door of 
217�察�which was now closed。 He began hammering on it�察�far beyond realizing that 
it was unlocked�察�and he had only to turn the knob to let himself out。 His mouth 
pealed forth deafening screams that were beyond human auditory range。 He could 
only hammer on the door and hear the dead woman ing for him�察�bloated belly�察�
dry hair�察�outstretched hands  something that had lain
