Terror　as　black　as　midnight　swept　through　her。　She　looked　over　her　shoulder

and　saw　Jack　getting　slowly　to　his　feet。

His　back　was　bowed　over；　and　she　could　see　the　handle　of　the　kitchen　knife

sticking　out　of　it。　His　eyes　seemed　to　have　contracted；　almost　to　have　lost

themselves　in　the　pale；　sagging　folds　of　the　skin　around　them。　He　was　grasping

the　roque　mallet　loosely　in　his　left　hand。　The　end　of　it　was　bloody。　A　scrap　of

her　pink　terrycloth　robe　stuck　almost　in　the　center。

〃Ill　give　you　your　medicine；〃　he　whispered；　and　began　to　stagger　toward　the

stairs。

Whimpering　with　fear；　she　began　to　pull　herself　upward　again。　Ten　steps；　a

dozen；　a　bakers　dozen。　But　still　the　first…floor　hallway　looked　as　far　above

her　as　an　unattainable　mountain　peak。　She　was　panting　now；　her　side　shrieking　in

protest。　Her　hair　swung　wildly　back　and　forth　in　front　of　her　face。　Sweat　stung

her　eyes。　The　ticking　of　the　domed　clock　in　the　ballroom　seemed　to　fill　her

cars；　and　counterpointing　it；　Jacks　panting；　agonized　gasps　as　he　began　to

mount　the　stairs。

HALLORANN　ARRIVES

Larry　Durkin　was　a　tall　and　skinny　man　with　a　morose　face　overtopped　with　a

luxuriant　mane　of　red　hair。　Hallorann　had　caught　him　just　as　he　was　leaving　the

Conoco　station；　the　morose　face　buried　deeply　inside　an　army…issue　parka。　He　was

reluctant　to　do　any　more　business　that　stormy　day　no　matter　how　far　Hallorann

had　e；　and　even　more　reluctant　to　rent　one　of　his　two　snowmobiles　out　to　this

wild…eyed　black　man　who　insisted　on　going　up　to　the　old　Overlook。　Among　people

who　had　spent　most　of　their　lives　in　the　little　town　of　Sidewinder；　the　hotel

had　a　smelly　reputation。　Murder　had　been　done　up　there。　A　bunch　of　hoods　had　run

the　place　for　a　while；　and　cutthroat　businessmen　had　run　it　for　a　while；　too。

And　things　had　been　done　up　at　the　old　Overlook　that　never　made　the　papers；

because　money　has　a　way　of　talking。　But　the　people　in　Sidewinder　had　a　pretty

good　idea。　Most　of　the　hotels　chambermaids　came　from　here；　and　chambermaids　see

a　lot。

But　when　Hallorann　mentioned　Howard　Cottrells　name　and　showed　Durkin　the　tag

inside　one　of　the　blue　mittens；　the　gas　station　owner　thawed。

〃Sent　you　here；　did　he？〃　Durkin　asked；　unlocking　one　of　the　garage　bays　and
