The
lions
were
gone
.
Now
he
saw
a
pink
pastel
shower
curtain
with
a
dark
shape
lounging
behind
it
.
The
closed
door
.
That
muffled
,
hurried
thump
,
and
sounds
after
it
that
might
have
been
running
footsteps
.
The
horrible
,
lurching
beat
of
his
own
heart
as
he
struggled
with
the
passkey
.
"
Nothing
,
"
he
said
,
and
that
was
true
.
He
had
been
strung
tip
,
not
sure
of
what
was
happening
.
He
hadn
’
t
had
a
chance
to
sift
through
his
thoughts
for
a
reasonable
explanation
concerning
the
bruises
on
his
son
’
s
neck
.
He
had
been
pretty
damn
suggestible
himself
.
Hallucinations
could
sometimes
be
catching
.
"
And
you
haven
’
t
changed
your
mind
?
About
the
snowmobile
,
I
mean
?
"

His
hands
clamped
into
sudden
tight
fists
(
Stop
nagging
me
!
)
by
his
sides
.
"
I
said
I
would
,
didn
’
t
I
?
I
will
.
Now
go
to
sleep
.
It
’
s
been
a
long
hard
day
.
"
"
And
how
,
"
she
said
.
There
was
a
rustle
of
bedclothes
as
she
turned
toward
him
and
kissed
his
shoulder
.
"
I
love
you
,
Jack
.
"

"
I
love
you
too
,
"
he
said
,
but
he
was
only
mouthing
the
words
.
His
hands
were
still
clenched
into
fists
.
They
felt
like
rocks
on
the
ends
of
his
arms
.
The
pulse
beat
prominently
in
his
forehead
.
She
hadn
’
t
said
a
word
about
what
was
going
to
happen
to
them
after
they
got
down
,
when
the
party
was
over
.
Not
one
word
.
It
had
been
Danny
this
and
Danny
that
and
Jack
I
’
m
so
scared
.
Oh
yes
,
she
was
scared
of
a
lot
of
closet
boogeymen
and
jumping
shadows
,
plenty
scared
.
But
there
was
no
lack
of
real
ones
,
either
.
When
they
got
down
to
Sidewinder
they
would
arrive
with
sixty
dollars
and
the
clothes
they
stood
up
in
.
Not
even
a
car
.
Even
if
Sidewinder
bad
a
pawnshop
,
which
it
didn
’
t
,
they
had
nothing
to
hock
but
Wendy
’
s
ninety
-
dollar
diamond
engagement
ring
and
the
Sony
AM
/
FM
radio
.
A
pawnbroker
might
give
them
twenty
bucks
.
A
kind
pawnbroker
.
There
would
be
no
job
,
not
even
part
-
time
or
seasonal
,
except
maybe
shoveling
out
driveways
for
three
dollars
a
shot
.
The
picture
of
John
Torrance
,
thirty
years
old
,
who
had
once
published
in
Esquire
and
who
had
harbored
dreams
-
not
at
all
unreasonable
dreams
,
he
feltof
becoming
a
major
American
writer
during
the
next
decade
,
with
a
shovel
from
the
Sidewinder
Western
Auto
on
his
shoulder
,
ringing
doorbells
…
that
picture
suddenly
came
to
him
much
more
clearly
than
the
hedge
lions
and
he
clenched
his
fists
tighter
still
,
feeling
the
fingernails
sink
into
his
palms
and
draw
blood
in
mystic
quarter
-
moon
shapes
.
John

rance
,
standing
in
line
to
change
his
sixty
dollars
into
food
stamps
,
standing
in
line
again
at
the
Sidewinder
Methodist
Church
to
get
donated
commodities
and
dirty
looks
from
the
locals
.
John
Torrance
explaining
to
Al
that
they
’
d
just
had
to
leave
,
had
to
shut
down
the
boiler
,
had
to
leave
the
Overlook
and
all
it
contained
open
to
vandals
or
thieves
on
snow
machines
because

there
are
ghosts
up
there
and
they
have
it

Thoughts
of
Chapter
Four
,
Spring
Comes
for
John
Torrance
.
What
then
?
Whatever
then
?
They
might
be
able
to
get
to
the
West
Coast
in
the
VW
,
he
supposed
.
A
new
fuel
pump
would
do
it
.
Fifty
miles
west
of
here
and
it
was
all
downhill
,
you
could
damn
near
put
the
bug
in
neutral
and
coast
to
Utah
.
On
to
sunny
California
,
land
of
oranges
and
opportunity
.
A
man
with
his
sterling
record
of
alcoholism
,
studentbeating
,
and
ghost
-
chasing
would
undoubtedly
be
able
to
write
his
own
ticket
.
Anything
you
like
.
Custodial
engineer
-
swamping
out
Greyhound
buses
.
The
automotive
business
-
washing
cars
in
a
rubber
suit
.
The
culinary
arts
,
perhaps
,
washing
dishes
in
a
diner
.
Or
possibly
a
more
responsible
position
,
such
as
pumping
gas
.
A
job
like
that
even
held
the
intellectual
stimulation
of
making
change
and
writing
out
credit
slips
.
I
can
give
you
twenty
-
five
hours
a
week
at
the
minimum
wage
.
That
was
heavy
tunes
in
a
year
when
Wonder
bread
went
for
sixty
cents
a
loaf
.
