away　from　the　Overlook。　But　he　also　knew　that　this　was　his　daddys　last　chance；

that　he　was　here　at　the　Overlook　to　do　more　than　take　care　of　the　place。　He　was

here　to　work　on　his　papers。　To　get　over　losing　his　job。　To　love　MommyWendy。　And

until　very　recently；　it　had　seemed　that　all　those　things　were　happening。　It　was

only　lately　that　Daddy　had　begun　to　have　trouble。　Since　he　found　those　papers。

（This　inhuman　place　makes　human　monsters。）

What　did　that　mean？　He　had　prayed　to　God；　but　God　hadnt　told　him。　And　what

would　Daddy　do　if　he　stopped　working　here？　He　had　tried　to　find　out　from　Daddys

mind；　and　had　bee　more　and　more　convinced　that　Daddy　didnt　know。　The

strongest　proof　had　e　earlier　this　evening　when　Uncle　Al　had　called　his　daddy

up　on　the　phone　and　said　mean　things　and　Daddy　didnt　dare　say　anything　back

because　Uncle　Al　could　fire　him　from　this　job　just　the　way　that　Mr。　Crommert；

the　Stovington　headmaster；　and　the　Board　of　Directors　had　fired　him　from　his

schoolteaching　job。　And　Daddy　was　scared　to　death　of　that；　for　him　and　Mommy　as

well　as　himself。

So　he　didnt　dare　say　anything。　He　could　only　watch　helplessly　and　hope　that

there　really　werent　any　Indians　at　all；　or　if　there　were　that　they　would　be

content　to　wait　for　bigger　game　and　let　their　little　three…wagon　train　pass

unmolested。

But　he　couldnt　believe　it；　no　matter　how　hard　he　tried。

Things　were　worse　at　the　Overlook　now。

The　snow　was　ing；　and　when　it　did；　any　prior　options　he　had　would　be

abrogated。　And　after　the　snow；　what？　What　then；　when　they　were　shut　in　and　at

the　mercy　of　whatever　might　have　only　been　toying　with　them　before？

（e　out　here　and　take　your　medicine！）

What　then？　REDRUM。

He　shivered　in　his　bed　and　turned　over　again。　He　could　read　more　now。　Tomorrow

maybe　he　would　try　to　call　Tony；　he　would　try　to　make　Tony　show　him　exactly　what

REDRUM　was　and　if　there　was　any　way　he　could　prevent　it。　He　would　risk　the

nightmares。　He　had　to　know。

Danny　was　still　awake　long　after　his　parents　false　sleep　had　bee　the　real

thing。　He　rolled　in　his　bed；　twisting　the　sheets；　grappling　with　a　problem　years

too　big　for　him；　awake　in　the　night　like　a　single　sentinel　on　picket。　And

sometime　after　midnight；　he　slept　too　and　then　only　the　wind　was　awake；　prying
