  ;All right�察─�Jack said�察�and at that moment�察�at least�察�he meant it。 The same 
way he had always meant it on those mornings after�察�looking at his pale and 


 
 
haggard face in the bathroom mirror。 I'm going to stop�察�going to cut it off 
flat。 But morning gave way to afternoon�察�and in the afternoons he felt a little 
better。 And afternoon gave way to night。 As some great twentieth´century thinker 
had said�察�night must fall。 
  He found himself wishing that Wendy would ask him about the hedges�察�would ask 
him what Danny meant�察�when he said You know because you saw !  If she did�察�he 
would tell her everything。 Everything。 The hedges�察�the woman in the room�察�even 
about the fire hose that seemed to have switched positions。 But where did 
confession stop�拭�Could he tell her he'd thrown the magneto away�察�that they could 
all be down in Sidewinder right now if he hadn't done that�拭�
  What she said was�察 �Do you want tea�拭─�
  ;Yes。 A cup of tea would be good。; 
  She went to the door and paused there�察�rubbing her forearms through her 
sweater。 ;It's my fault as much as yours�察─�she said。 ;What were we doing while 
he was going through that 。。。 dream�察�or whatever it was�拭─�
  ;Wendy ! ; 
  ;We were sleeping�察─�she said。 ;Sleeping like a couple of teenage kids with 
their itch nicely scratched。; 
  ;Stop it�察─�he said。 ;It's over。; 
  ;No�察─�Wendy answered�察�and gave him a strange�察�restless smile。 ;It's not over。; 
  She went out to make tea�察�leaving him to keep watch over their son。

 THE ELEVATOR 
 
 
  Jack awoke from a thin and uneasy sleep where huge and ill´defined shapes 
chased him through endless snowfields to what he first thought was another 
dream�此�darkness�察�and in it�察�a sudden mechanical jumble of noises ! clicks and 
clanks�察�hummings�察�rattlings�察�snaps and whooshes。 
  Then Wendy sat up beside him and he knew it was no dream。 
  ;What's that�拭─�Her hand�察�cold marble�察�gripped his wrist。 He restrained an urge 
to shake it off ! how in the hell was he supposed to know what it was�拭�The 
illuminated clock on his nightstand said it was five minutes to twelve。 
  The humming sound again。 Loud and steady�察�varying the slightest bit。 Followed 
by a clank as the humming ceased。 A rattling bang。 A thump。 Then the humming 
resumed。 
  It was the elevator。 
  Danny was sitting up。 ;Daddy�拭�Daddy�拭─�His voice was sleepy and scared。 
  ;Right here�察�doc�察─�Jack said。 ;e on over and jump in。 Your mom's awake�察�
too。; 
  The bedclothes rustled as Danny got on the bed between them。 ;It's the 


 
 
elevator�察─�he whispered。 
  ;That's right�察─�Jack said。 ;Just the elevator。; 
  ;What do you mean�察�just�拭─�Wendy demanded。 There was an ice´skim of hysteria on 
her voice。 ;It's the middle of the night。 Who's running it�拭─�
  Hummmmmmm。 Click/clank。 Above them now。 The rattle of the gate accordioning 
back�察�the bump of the doors opening and closing。 Then the hum of the motor and 
the cables again。 
  Danny began to whimper。 
  Jack swung his feet out of bed and onto the floor。 ;It's probably a short。 
I'll check。; 
  ;Don't you dare go out of this room� ─�
  ;Don't be stupid�察─�he said�察�pulling on his robe。 ;It's my job。; 
  She was out of bed herself a moment later�察�pulling Danny with her。 
  ;We'll go�察�too。; 
  ;Wendy ! ; 
  ;What's wrong�拭─�Danny asked somberly。 ;What's wrong�察�Daddy�拭─�
  Instead of answering he turned away�察�his face angry and set。 He belted his 
robe around him at the door�察�opened it�察�and stepped out into the dark hall。 
  Wendy hesitated for a moment�察�and it was actually Danny who began to move 
first。 She caught up quickly�察�and they went out together。 
  Jack hadn't bothered with the lights。 She fumbled for the switch that lit the 
four spaced overheads in the hallway that led to the main corridor。 Up ahead�察�
Jack was already turning the corner。 This time Danny found the switchplate and 
flicked all three switches up。 The hallway leading down to the stairs and the 
elevator shaft came alight。 
  Jack was standing at the elevator station�察�which was flanked by benches and 
cigarette urns。 He was standing motionless in front of the closed elevator door。 
In his faded tartan bathrobe and brown leather slippers with the rundown heels�察�
his hair all in sleep corkscrews and Alfalfa cowlicks�察�he looked to her like an 
absurd twentieth´century Hamlet�察�an indecisive figure so mesmerized by onrushing 
tragedy that he was helpless to divert its course or alter it in any way。 
  ��jesus stop thinking so crazy ! �� 
  Danny's hand bad tightened painfully on her own。 He was looking up at her 
intently�察�his face strained and anxious。 He had been catching the drift of her 
thoughts�察�she realized。 Just how much or how little of them he was getting was 
impossible to say�察�but she flushed�察�feeling much the same as if he had caught 
her in a masturbatory act。 
  ;e on�察─�she said�察�and they went down the hall to Jack。 
  The hummings and clankings and thumpings were louder here�察�terrifying in a 
disconnected�察�benumbed way。 Jack was staring at the closed door with feverish 
intensity。 Through the diamond´shaped window in the center of the elevator door 
she thought she could make out the cables�察�thrumming slightly。 The elevator 
clanked to a stop below them�察�at lobby level。 They heard the doors thump open。 
And 。。。 
  ��party�� 
  Why had she thought party�拭�The word had simply jumped into her head for no 
reason at all。 The silence in the Overlook was plete and intense except for 
the weird noises ing up the elevator shaft。 


 
 
  ��must have been quite a party�� 
  �┌殖殖�WHAT PARTY�殖殖殖� 
  For just a moment her mind had filled with an image so real that it seemed to 
be a memory 。。。 not just any memory but one of those you treasure�察�one of 
those you keep for very special occasions and rarely mention aloud。 Lights 。。。 
hundreds�察�maybe thousands of them。 Lights and colors�察�the pop of champagne 
corks�察�a forty´piece orchestra playing Glenn Miller's ;In the Mood。; But Glenn 
Miller had gone down in his bomber before she was born�察�how could she have a 
memory of Glenn Miller�拭�
  She looked down at Danny and saw his head had cocked to one side�察�as if he was 
hearing something she couldn't hear。 His face was very pale。 
  Thump。 
  The door had slid shut down there。 A humming whine as the elevator began to 
rise。 She saw the engine housing on top of the car first through the diamond´ 
shaped window�察�then the interior of the car�察�seen through the further diamond 
shapes made by the brass gate。 Warm yellow light from the car's overhead。 It was 
empty。 The car was empty。 It was empty but 
  ��on the night of the party they must have crowded in by the dozens�察�crowded 
the car way beyond its safety limit but of course it had been new then and all 
of them wearing masks�� 
  �┌殖殖殖�WHAT MASKS�殖殖殖殖� 
  The car stopped above them�察�on the third floor。 She looked at Danny。 His face 
was all eyes。 His mouth was pressed into a frightened�察�bloodless slit。 Above 
them�察�the brass gate rattled back。 The elevator door thumped open�察�it thumped 
open because it was time�察�the time had e�察�it was time to say 
  ��Goodnight 。。。 goodnight 。。。 yes�察�it was lovely 。。。 no�察�i really can't 
stay for the unmasking 。。。 early to bed�察�early to rise 。。。 oh�察�was that 
Sheila�拭 �。。 the monk�拭 �。。 isn't that witty�察�Sheila ing as a monk�拭 �。。 
yes�察�goodnight 。。。good�� 
  Thump。 
  Gears clashed。 The motor engaged。 The car began to whine back down。 
  ;Jack�察─�she whispered。 ;What is it�拭�What's wrong with it�拭─�
  ;A short circuit�察─�he said。 His face was like wood。 ;I told you�察�it was a 
short circuit。; 
  ;I keep hearing voices in my head� ─�she cried。 ;What is it�拭�What's wrong�拭�I 
feel like I'm going crazy� ─�
  ;What voices�拭─�He looked at her with deadly blandness。 
  She turned to Danny。 ;Did you ! �拭─�
  Danny nodded slowly。 ;Yes。 And music。 Like from a long time ago。 In my head。; 
  The elevator car stopped again。 The hotel was silent�察�creaking�察�deserted。 
Outside�察�the wind whined around the eaves in the darkness。 
  ;Maybe you are both crazy�察─�Jack said conversationally。 ;I don't hear a 
goddamned thing except that elevator having a case of the electrical hiccups。 If 
you two want to have duet hysterics�察�fine。 But count me out。; 
  The elevator was ing down again。 
  Jack stepped to the right�察�where a glass´fronted box was mounted on the wall 
at chest height。 He smashed his bare fist against it。 Glass tinkled inward。 
Blood dripped from two of his knuckles。 He reached in and took out a key with a 


 
 
long�察�smooth barrel。 
  ;Jack�察�no。 Don't。; 
  ;I am going to do my job。 Now leave me alone�察�Wendy� ─�
  She tried to grab his arm。 He pushed her backward。 Her feet tangled in the hem 
of her robe and she fell to the carpet with an ungainly thump。 Danny cried out 
shrilly and fell on his knees beside her。 Jack turned back to the elevator and 
thrust the key into the socket。 
  The elevator cables disappeared and the bottom of the car came into view in 
the small window。 A second later Jack turned the key hard。 There was a grating�察�
screeching sound as the elevator car came to an instant standstill。 For a moment 
the declutched motor in the basement whined even louder�察�and then its circuit 
breaker cut in and the Overlook went unearthly still。 The night wind outside 
seemed very loud by parison。 Jack looked stupidly at the gray metal elevator 
door。 There were three splotches of blood below the keyhole from his lacerated 
knuckles。 
  He turned back to Wendy and Danny for a moment。 She was sitting up�察�and Danny 
had his arm around her。 They were both staring at him carefully�察�as if he was a 
stranger they had never seen before�察�possibly a dangerous one。 He opened his 
mouth�察�not sure what was going to e out。 
  ;It。。。 Wendy�察�it's my job。; 
  She said clearly�此 �Fuck your job; 
  He turned back to the elevator�察�worked his fingers into the crack that ran 
down the right side of the door�察�and got it to open a little way。 Then he was 
able to get his whole weight on it and threw the door open。 
  The car had stopped halfway�察�its floor at Jack's chest level。 Warm light still 
spilled out of it�察�contrasting with the oily darkness of the shaft below。 
  He looked in for what seemed a long time。 
  ;It's empty�察─�he said then。 ;A short circuit�察�like I said。; He hooked his 
fingers into the slot behind the door and began to pull it closed 。。。 then her 
hand was on his shoulder�察�surprisingly strong�察�yanking him away。 
  ;Wendy� ─�he shouted。 But she had already caught the car's bottom edge and 
pulled herself up enough so she could look in。 Then�察�with a convulsive heave of 
her shoulder and belly muscles�察�she tried to boost herself all the way up。 For a 
moment the issue was in doubt。 Her feet tottered over the blackness of the shaft 
and one pink slipper fell from her foot and slipped out of sight。 
  ;Mommy� ─�Danny screamed。 
  Then she was up�察�her cheeks flushed�察�her forehead as pale and shining as a 
spirit lamp。 ;What about this�察�Jack�拭�Is this a short circuit�拭─�She threw 
something and suddenly the hall was full of drifting confetti�察�red and white and 
blue and yellow。 ;Is this�拭─�A green party streamer�察�faded to a pale pastel
