inexorably down from XII to V。 If you held your bead perfectly still you could 
see that !  
  The clockface was gone。 In its place was a round black hole。 It led down into 
forever。 It began to swell。 The clock was gone。 The room behind it。 Danny 
tottered and then fell into the darkness that had been hiding behind the 
clockface all along。 
  The small boy in the chair suddenly collapsed and lay in it at a crooked 
unnatural angle�察�his head thrown back�察�his eyes staring sightlessly at the high 
ballroom ceiling。 
  Down and down and down and down to !  
   ! the hallway�察�crouched in the hallway�察�and he had made a wrong turn�察�trying 
to get back to the stairs he had made a wrong turn and now AND NOW !  
   ! he saw he was in the short dead´end corridor that led only to the 
Presidential Suite and the booming sound was ing closer�察�the roque mallet 
whistling savagely through the air�察�the head of it embedding itself into the 
wall�察�cutting the silk paper�察�letting out small puffs of plaster dust。 
  ��Goddammit�察�e out here� �Take your�� 
  But there was another figure in the hallway。 Slouched nonchalantly against the 
wall just behind him。 Like a ghost。 
  No�察�not a ghost�察�but all dressed in white。 Dressed in whites。 
  ��I'll find you�察�you goddam little whoremastering RUNT�。� 
  Danny cringed back from the sound。 ing up the main third´floor hall now。 


 
 
Soon the owner of that voice would round the corner。 
  ��e here� �e here�察�you little shit�。� 
  The figure dressed in white straightened up a little�察�removed a cigarette from 
the corner of his mouth�察�and plucked a shred of tobacco from his full lower lip。 
It was Hallorann�察�Danny saw。 Dressed in his cook's whites instead of the blue 
suit he had been wearing on closing day。 
  ;If there is trouble�察─�Hallorann said�察 �you give a call。 A big loud holler 
like the one that knocked me back a few minutes ago。 I might hear you even way 
down in Florida。 And if I do�察�I'll e on the run。 I'll e on the run。 I'll 
e on the ! ; 
  ��e now�察�then� �e now�察�e NOW� �Oh Dick I need you we all need�� 
  ; ! run。 Sorry�察�but I got to run。 Sorry�察�Danny ole kid ole doc�察�but I got to 
run。 It's sure been fun�察�you son of a gun�察�but I got to hurry�察�I got to run。; 
  ��No�。� 
  But as he watched�察�Dick Hallorann turned�察�put his cigarette back into the 
corner of his mouth�察�and stepped nonchalantly through the wall。 
  Leaving him alone。 
  And that was when the shadow´figure turned the corner�察�huge in the hallway's 
gloom�察�only the reflected red of its eyes clear。 
  ��There you are� �Now I've got you�察�you fuck� �Now I'll teach you�。� 
  It lurched toward him in a horrible�察�shambling run�察�the roque mallet swinging 
up and up and up。 Danny scrambled backward�察�screaming�察�and suddenly he was 
through the wall and falling�察�tumbling over and over�察�down the hole�察�down the 
rabbit hole and into a land full of sick wonders。 
  Tony was far below him�察�also falling。 
  ��I can't e anymore�察�Danny 。。。 he won't let me near you 。。。 none of them 
will let me near you 。。。 get Dick 。。 。 get Dick 。。。�� 
  ;Tony� ─�he screamed。 
  But Tony was gone and suddenly he was in a dark room。 But not entirely dark。 
Muted light spilling from somewhere。 It was Mommy and Daddy's bedroom。 He could 
see Daddy's desk。 But the room was a dreadful shambles。 He had been in this room 
before。 Mommy's record player overturned on the floor。 Her records scattered on 
the rug。 The mattress half off the bed。 Pictures ripped from the walls。 His cot 
lying on its side like a dead dog�察�the Violent Violet Volkswagen crushed to 
purple shards of plastic。 
  The light was ing from the bathroom door�察�half´open。 Just beyond it a hand 
dangled limply�察�blood dripping from the tips of the fingers。 And in the medicine 
cabinet mirror�察�the word REDRUM flashing off and on。 
  Suddenly a huge clock in a glass bowl materialized in front of it。 There were 
no hands or numbers on the clockface�察�only a date written in red�此�DECEMBER 2。 
And then�察�eyes widening in horror�察�he saw the word REDRUM reflecting dimly from 
the glass dome�察�now reflected twice。 And he saw that it spelled MURDER。 
  Danny Torrance screamed in wretched terror。 The date was gone from the 
clockface。 The clockface itself was gone�察�replaced by a circular black hole that 
swelled and swelled like a dilating iris。 It blotted out everything and he fell 
forward�察�beginning to fall�察�falling�察�he was !  
 
                                     * * * 


 
 
 
   ! falling off the chair。 
  For a moment he lay on the ballroom floor�察�breathing bard。 
 
                                    REDRUM。 
                                    MURDER。 
                                    REDRUM。 
                                    MURDER。 
 
  ��The Red Death held sway over all�。� 
  ��Unmask� �Unmask�。� 
  And behind each glittering lovely mask�察�the as´yet unseen face of the shape 
that chased him down these dark hallways�察�its red eyes widening�察�blank and 
homicidal。 
  Oh�察�he was afraid of what face might e to light when the time for unmasking 
came around at last。 
                                    ��DICK�。� 
  he screamed with all his might。 His head seemed to shiver with the force of 
it。 
  �┌。。 �OH DICK OH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE E �。。。� 
  Above him the clock he had wound with the silver key continued to mark off the 
seconds and minutes and hours。

  Mrs。 Hallorann's third son�察�Dick�察�dressed in his cook's whites�察�a Lucky Strike 
parked in the corner of his mouth�察�backed his reclaimed Cadillac limo out of its 
space behind the One´A Wholesale Vegetable Mart and drove slowly around the 
building。 Masterton�察�part owner now but still walking with the patented shuffle 
he had adopted back before World War II�察�was pushing a bin of lettuces into the 
high�察�dark building。 
  Hallorann pushed the button that lowered the passenger side window and 
hollered�此 �Those avocadoes is too damn high�察�you cheapskate� ─�
  Masterton looked back over his shoulder�察�grinned widely enough to expose all 
three gold teeth�察�and yelled back�察 �And I know exactly where you can put em�察�my 
good buddy。; 
  ;Remarks like that I keep track of�察�bro。; 
  Masterton gave him the finger。 Hallorann returned the pliment。 
  ;Get your cukes�察�did you�拭─�Masterton asked。 
  ;I did。; 
  ;You e back early tomorrow�察�I gonna give you some of the nicest new 
potatoes you ever seen。; 
  ;I send the boy�察─�Hallorann said。 ;You in up tonight�拭─�
  ;You supplyin the juice�察�bro�拭─�
  ;That's a big ten´four。; 
  ;I be there。 You keep that thing off the top end goin home�察�you hear me�拭�Every 
cop between here an St。 Pete knows your name。; 
  ;You know all about it�察�huh�拭─�Hallorann asked�察�grinning。 
  ;I know more than you'll ever learn�察�my man。; 
  ;Listen to this sassy nigger。 Would you listen�拭─�
  ;Go on�察�get outta here fore I start throwin these lettuces。; 
  ;Go on an throw em。 I'll take anything for free。; 
  Masterton made as if to throw one。 Hallorann ducked�察�rolled up the window�察�and 
drove on。 He was feeling fine。 For the last half hour or so he had been smelling 
oranges�察�but he didn't find that queer。 For the last half hour he had been in a 
fruit and vegetable market。 
  It was 4��30 p。m。�察�EST�察�the first day of December�察�Old Man Winter settling his 
frostbitten rump firmly onto most of the country�察�but down here the men wore 
open´throated shortsleeve shirts and the women were in light summer dresses and 
shorts。 On top of the First Bank of Florida building�察�a digital thermometer 
bordered with huge grapefruits was flashing 79< over and over。 Thank God for 
Florida�察�Hallorann thought�察�mosquitoes and all。 
  In the back of the limo were two dozen avocados�察�a crate of cucumbers�察�ditto 
oranges�察�ditto grapefruit。 Three shopping sacks filled with Bermuda onions�察�the 
sweetest vegetable a loving God ever created�察�some pretty good sweet peas�察�which 
would be served with the entree and e back uneaten nine times out of ten�察�and 
a single blue Hubbard squash that was strictly for personal consumption。 
  Hallorann stopped in the turn lane at the Vermont Street light�察�and when the 
green arrow showed he pulled out onto state highway 219�察�pushing up to forty and 
holding it there until the town began to trickle away into an exurban sprawl of 
gas stations�察�Burger Kings�察�and McDonalds。 It was a small order today�察�he could 


 
 
have sent Baedecker after it�察�but Baedecker had been chafing for his chance to 
buy the meat�察�and besides�察�Hallorann never missed a chance to bang it back and 
forth with Frank Masterton if he could help it。 Masterton might show up tonight 
to watch some TV and drink Hallorann's Bushmill's�察�or he might not。 Either way 
was all right。 But seeing him mattered。 Every time it mattered now�察�because they 
weren't young anymore。 In the last few days it seemed he was thinking of that 
very fact a great deal。 Not so young anymore�察�when you got up near sixty years 
old ��or tell the truth and save a lie ! past it�� you had to start thinking about 
stepping out。 You could go anytime。 And that had been on his mind this week�察�not 
in a heavy way but as a fact。 Dying was a part of living。 You had to keep tuning 
in to that if you expected to be a whole person。 And if the fact of your own 
death was hard to understand�察�at least it wasn't impossible to accept。 
  Why this should have been on his mind he could not have said�察�but his other 
reason for getting this small order himself was so he could step upstairs to the 
small office over Frank's Bar and Grill。 There was a lawyer up there now ��the 
dentist who had been there last year had apparently gone broke���察�a young black 
fellow named McIver。 Hallorann had stepped in and told this McIver that he 
wanted to make a will�察�and could McIver help him out�拭�Well�察�McIver asked�察�how 
soon do you want the document�拭�Yesterday�察�said Hallorann�察�and threw his head 
back and laughed。 Have you got anything plicated in mind�拭�was McIver's next 
question。 Hallorann did not。 He had his Cadillac�察�his bank account ! some nine 
thousand dollars ! a piddling checking account�察�and a closet of clothes。 He 
wanted it all to go to his sister。 And if your sister predeceases you�拭�McIver 
asked。 Never mind�察�Hallorann said。 If that happens�察�I'll make a new will。 The 
document had been pleted and signed in less than three hours ! fast work for a 
shyster ! and now resided in Hallorann's breast pocket�察�folded into a stiff blue 
envelope with the word WILL on the outside in Old English letters。 
  He could not have said why he had chosen this warm sunny day when he felt so 
well to do something he had been putting off for years�察�but the impulse had e 
on him and he hadn't said no。 He was used to following his hunches。 
  He was pretty well out of town now。 He cranked the limo up to an illegal sixty 
and let it ride there in the left´hand lane�察�sucking up most of the Petersburg´ 
bound traffic。 He knew from experience that the limo would still ride as solid 
as iron at ninety�察�and even at a hundred and twenty it didn't seem to lighten up 
much。 But his screamin days were long gone。 The thought of putting the limo up 
to a hundred and twenty on a straight stretch only scared him。 He was getting 
old。 
  ��Jesus�察�those oranges smell strong。 Wonder if they gone over�殖� 
  Bugs splattered against the window。 He dialed the radio to a Miami soul 
station and got the soft�察�wailing voice of Al Green。 
 
    ;What a beautiful time we had together�察�
    Now it's getting late and we must leave each other。。。; 
 
  He unrolled the window�察�pitched his cigarette butt out�察�then rolled it further 
down to clear out the smell of the oranges。 He tapped his fingers against the 
wheel and hummed along under his breath。 Hooked over the rearview mirror�察�his
