through its contents。 Behind her that hoarse voice bellowed�此 �Here I e now� �
Here I e now�察�you pig� ─�It was demolishing the door in a machinelike frenzy。 
  Bottles and jars fell before her madly searching fingers ! cough syrup�察�Vaseline�察�
Clairol Herbal Essence shampoo�察�hydrogen peroxide�察�benzocaine ! they fell into 
the sink and shattered。 
  Her hand closed over the dispenser of double´edged razor blades just as she 
heard the hand again�察�fumbling for the bolt and the spring lock。 
  She slipped one of the razor blades out�察�fumbling at it�察�her breath ing in 
harsh little gasps。 She had cut the ball of her thumb。 She whirled around and 
slashed at the hand�察�which had turned the lock and was now fumbling for the 
bolt。 
  Jack screamed。 The hand was jerked back。 
  Panting�察�holding the razor blade between her thumb and index finger�察�she 
waited for him to try again。 He did�察�and she slashed。 He screamed again�察�trying 
to grab her hand�察�and she slashed at him again。 The razor blade turned in her 
hand�察�cutting her again�察�and dropped to the tile floor by the toilet。 
  Wendy slipped another blade out of the dispenser and waited。 


 
 
  Movement in the other room !  
  �┌殖拭�going away �殖殖� 
  And a sound ing through the bedroom window。 A motor。 A high�察�insectile 
buzzing sound。 
  A roar of anger from Jack and then ! yes�察�yes�察�she was sure of it ! he was leaving 
the caretaker's apartment�察�plowing through the wreckage and out into the hall。 
  �┌殖拭�Someone ing a ranger Dick Hallorann �殖殖� 
  ;Oh God�察─�she muttered brokenly through a mouth that seemed filled with broken 
sticks and old sawdust。 ;Oh God�察�oh please。; 
  She had to leave now�察�had to go find her son so they could face the rest of 
this nightmare side by side。 She reached out and fumbled at the bolt。 Her arm 
seemed to stretch for miles。 At last she got it to e free。 She pushed the 
door open�察�staggered out�察�and was suddenly overe by the horrible certainty 
that Jack had only pretended to leave�察�that he was lying in wait for her�此�
  Wendy looked around。 The room was empty�察�the living room too。 Jumbled�察�broken 
stuff everywhere。 
  The closet�拭�Empty。 
  Then the soft shades of gray began to wash over her and she fell down on the 
mattress Jack had ripped from the bed�察�semiconscious。

HALLORANN LAID LOW 
 
 
  Hallorann reached the overturned snowmobile just as�察�a mile and a half away�察�
Wendy was pulling herself around the corner and into the short hallway leading 
to the caretaker's apartment。 
  It wasn't the snowmobile he wanted but the gascan held onto the back by a pair 
of elastic straps。 His hands�察�still clad in Howard Cottrell's blue mittens�察�
seized the top strap and pulled it free as the hedge lion roared behind him ! a 
sound that seemed to be more in his head than outside of it。 A hard�察�brambly 
slap to his left leg�察�making the knee sing with pain as it was driven in a way 
the joint had never been expected to bend。 A groan escaped Hallorann's clenched 
teeth。 It would e for the kill any time now�察�tired of playing with him。 
  He fumbled for the second strap。 Sticky blood ran in his eyes。 
  ��Roar� �Slap�。� 
  That one raked across his buttocks�察�almost tumbling him over and away from the 
snowmobile again。 He held on ! no exaggeration ! for dear life。 
  Then he had freed the second strap。 He clutched the gascan to him as the lion 
struck again�察�rolling him over on his back。 He saw it again�察�only a shadow in 
the darkness and falling snow�察�as nightmarish as a moving gargoyle。 Hallorann 
twisted at the can's cap as the moving shadow stalked him�察�kicking up snowpuffs。 


 
 
As it moved in again the cap spun free�察�releasing the pungent smell of the 
gasoline。 
  Hallorann gained his knees and as it came at him�察�lowslung and incredibly 
quick�察�he splashed it with the gas。 
  There was a hissing�察�spitting sound and it drew back。 
  ;Gas� ─�Hallorann cried�察�his voice shrill and breaking。 ;Gonna burn you�察�baby� �
Dig on it awhile� ─�
  The lion came at him again�察�still spitting angrily。 Hallorann splashed it 
again but this time the lion didn't give。 It charged ahead。 Hallorann sensed 
rather than saw its head angling at his face and he threw himself backward�察�
partially avoiding it。 Yet the lion still hit his upper rib cage a glancing 
blow�察�and a flare of pain struck there。 Gas gurgled out of the can�察�which he 
still held�察�and doused his right hand and arm�察�cold as death。 
  Now he lay on his back in a snow angel�察�to the right of the snowmobile by 
about ten paces。 The hissing lion was a bulking presence to his left�察�closing in 
again。 Hallorann thought he could see its tail twitching。 
  He yanked Cottrell's mitten off his right hand�察�tasting sodden wool and 
gasoline。 He ripped up the hem of the parka and jammed his hand into his pants 
pocket。 Down in there�察�along with his keys and his change�察�was a very battered 
old Zippo lighter。 He had bought it in Germany in 1954。 Once the hinge had 
broken and he had returned it to the Zippo factory and they had repaired it 
without charge�察�just as advertised。 
  A nightmare flood of thoughts flooding through his mind in a split second。 
  ��Dear Zippo my lighter was swallowed by a crocodile dropped from an airplane 
lost in the Pacific trench saved me from a Kraut bullet in the Battle of the 
Bulge dear Zippo if this fucker doesn't go that lion is going to rip my head 
off�� 
  The lighter was out。 He clicked the hood back。 The lion�察�rushing at him�察�a 
growl like ripping cloth�察�his finger flicking the striker wheel�察�spark�察�flame�察�
  ��my hand�� 
  his gasoline´soaked hand suddenly ablaze�察�the flames running up the sleeve of 
the parka�察�no pain�察�no pain yet�察�the lion shying from the torch suddenly blazing 
in front of it�察�a hideous flickering hedge sculpture with eyes and a mouth�察�
shying away�察�too late。 
  Wincing at the pain�察�Hallorann drove his blazing arm into its stiff and 
scratchy side。 
  In an instant the whole creature was in flames�察�a prancing�察�writhing pyre on 
the snow。 It bellowed in rage and pain�察�seeming to chase its flaming tail as it 
zigzagged away from Hallorann。 
  He thrust his own arm deep into the snow�察�killing the flames�察�unable to take 
his eyes from the hedge lion's death agonies for a moment。 Then�察�gasping�察�he got 
to his feet。 The arm of Durkin's parka was sooty but unburned�察�and that also 
described his hand。 Thirty yards downhill from where he stood�察�the hedge lion 
had turned into a fireball。 Sparks flew at the sky and were viciously snatched 
away by the wind。 For a moment its ribs and skull were etched in orange flame 
and then it seemed to collapse�察�disintegrate�察�and fall into separate burning 
piles。 
  ��Never mind it。 Get moving。�� 


 
 
  He picked up the gascan and struggled over to the snowmobile。 His 
consciousness seemed to be flickering in and out�察�offering him cuttings and 
snippets of home movies but never the whole picture。 In one of these he was 
aware of yanking the snowmobile back onto its tread and then sitting on it�察�out 
of breath and incapable of moving for a few moments。 In another�察�he was 
reattaching the gascan�察�which was still half´full。 His head was thumping 
horribly from the gasfumes ��and in reaction to his battle with the hedge lion�察�
he supposed���察�and he saw by the steaming hole in the snow beside him that he had 
vomited�察�but he was unable to remember when。 
  The snowmobile�察�the engine still warm�察�fired immediately。 He twisted the 
throttle unevenly and started forward with a series of neck´snapping jerks that 
made his head ache even more fiercely。 At first the snowmobile wove drunkenly 
from side to side�察�but by half´standing to get his face above the windscreen and 
into the sharp�察�needling blast of the wind�察�he drove some of the stupor out of 
himself。 He opened the throttle wider。 
  ��Where are the rest of the hedge animals�殖� 
  He didn't know�察�but at least he wouldn't be caught unaware again。 
  The Overlook loomed in front of him�察�the lighted first´floor windows throwing 
long yellow rectangles onto the snow。 The gate at the foot of the drive was 
locked and he dismounted after a wary look around�察�praying he hadn't lost his 
keys when he pulled his lighter out of his pocket 。。。 no�察�they were there。 He 
picked through them in the bright light thrown by the snowmobile headlamp。 He 
found the right one and unsnapped the padlock�察�letting it drop into the snow。 At 
first he didn't think he was going to be able to move the gate anyway�察�he pawed 
frantically at the snow surrounding it�察�disregarding the throbbing agony in his 
head and the fear that one of the other lions might be creeping up behind him。 
He managed to pull it a foot and a half away from the gatepost�察�squeezed into 
the gap�察�and pushed。 He got it to move another two feet�察�enough room for the 
snowmobile�察�and threaded it through。 
  He became aware of movement ahead of him in the dark。 The hedge animals�察�all 
of them�察�were clustered at the base of the Overlook's steps�察�guarding the way 
in�察�the way out。 The lions prowled。 The dog stood with its front paws on the 
first step。 
  Hallorann opened the throttle wide and the snowmobile leaped forward�察�puffing 
snow up behind it。 In the caretaker's apartment�察�Jack Torrance's head jerked 
around at the high�察�wasplike buzz of the approaching engine�察�and suddenly began 
to move laboriously toward the hallway again。 The bitch wasn't important now。 
The bitch could wait。 Now it was this dirty nigger's turn。 This dirty�察�
interfering nigger with his nose in where it didn't belong。 First him and then 
his son。 He would show them。 He would show them that 。。。 that he 。。。 that he 
was of managerial timber� �
  Outside�察�the snowmobile rocketed along faster and faster。 The hotel seemed to 
surge toward it。 Snow flew in Hallorann's face。 The headlamp's oning glare 
spotlighted the hedge shepherd's face�察�its blank and socketless eyes。 
  Then it shrank away�察�leaving an opening。 Hallorann yanked at the snowmobile's 
steering gear with all his remaining strength�察�and it kicked around in a sharp 
semicircle�察�throwing up clouds of snow�察�threatening to tip over。 The rear end 
struck the foot of the porch steps and rebounded。 Hallorann was off in a flash 


 
 
and running up the steps。 He stumbled�察�fell�察�picked himself up。 The dog was 
growling ! again in his head ! close behind him。 Something ripped at the shoulder 
of the parka and then he was on the porch�察�standing in the narrow corridor Jack 
had shoveled through the snow�察�and safe。 They were too big to fit in here。 
  He reached the big double doors which gave on the lobby and dug for his keys 
again。 While he was getting them he tried the knob and it turned freely。 He 
pushed his way in。 
  ;Danny� ─�he cried hoarsely。 ;Danny�察�where are you�拭─�
  Silence came back。 
  His eyes traveled across the lobby to the foot of the wide stairs and a harsh 
gasp escaped him。 The rug was splashed and matted with blood。 There was a scrap 
of pink terrycloth robe。 The trail of blood led up the stairs。 The banister was 
also splashed with it。 
  ;Oh Jesus�察─�he muttered�察�and raised his voice again。 
  ;Danny� �DANNY� ─�
  The hotel's silence seemed to mock him with echoes which were almost there�察�
sly and oblique。 
  ��Danny�拭�Who's Danny�拭�Anybody here know a Danny�拭�Danny�察�Danny�察�who's got the 
Danny�拭�Anybody for a game of spin the Danny�拭�Pin the tail on the Danny�拭�Get out 
of here�察�black boy。 No one here knows Danny from Adam。�� 
  Jesus�察�had he e through everything just to be too late�拭�Had it been done�拭�
  He ran up the stairs two at a time and stood at the top of the first floor。 
The blood led down toward the caretaker's apartment。 Horror crept softly into 
his veins and into his brain as he began to walk toward the short hall。 The 
hedge animals had been bad�察�but this was worse。 In his heart he was already sure 
of what he was going to find when he got down there。 
  He was in no hurry to see it。 
  Jack had been hiding in the elevator when Hallorann came up the stairs。 Now he 
crept up behind the figure in the snowcoated parka�察�a blood´ and gore´streaked 
phantom with a smile upon its face。 The roque mallet was lifted as high
