inexplicable word so much more horrible than any of the others�此�REDRUM。 
  And now sunshine。 Real things。 Except for Tony�察�now six blocks up�察�only a 
speck�察�standing on the corner�察�his voice faint and high and sweet。 ;Be careful�察�
doc。。。; 
  Then�察�in the next instant�察�Tony was gone and Daddy's battered red bug was 
turning the corner and chattering up the street�察�farting blue smoke behind it。 
Danny was off the curb in a second�察�waving�察�jiving from one foot to the other�察�
yelling�此 �Daddy� �Hey�察�Dad� �Hi� �Hi� ─�
  His daddy swung the VW into the curb�察�killed the engine�察�and opened the door。 
Danny ran toward him and then froze�察�his eyes widening。 His heart crawled up 
into the middle of his throat and froze solid。 Beside his daddy�察�in the other 
front seat�察�was a short´handled mallet�察�its head clotted with blood and hair。 
  Then it was just a bag of groceries。 
  ;Danny 。。。 you okay�察�doc�拭─�
  ;Yeah。 I'm okay。; He went to his daddy and buried his face in Daddy's 
sheepskin´lined denim jacket and hugged him tight tight tight。 Jack hugged him 
back�察�slightly bewildered。 
  ;Hey�察�you don't want to sit in the sun like that�察�doc。 You're drippin sweat。; 
  ;I guess I fell asleep a little。 I love you�察�Daddy。 I been waiting。; 
  ;I love you too�察�Dan。 I brought home some stuff。 Think you're big enough to 
carry it upstairs�拭─�
  ;Sure am� ─�
  ;Doc Torrance�察�the world's stroneest man�察─�Jack said�察�and ruffled his hair。 
;Whose hobby is falling asleep on street corners。; 
  Then they were walking up to the door and Mommy had e down to the porch to 
meet them and he stood on the second step and watched them kiss。 They were glad 
to see each other。 Love came out of them the way love had e out of the boy 
and girl walking up the street and holding hands。 Danny was glad。 
  The bag of groceries ! just a bag of groceries ! crackled in his arms。 
Everything was all right。 Daddy was home。 Mommy was loving him。 There were no 
bad things。 And not everything Tony showed him always happened。 
  But fear had settled around his heart�察�deep and dreadful�察�around his heart and 
around that indecipherable word he had seen in his spirit's mirror。

  Jack parked the VW in front of the Rexall in the Table Mesa shopping center 
and let the engine die。 He wondered again if he shouldn't go ahead and get the 
fuel pump replaced�察�and told himself again that they couldn't afford it。 If the 
little car could keep running until November�察�it could retire with full honors 


 
 
anyway。 By November the snow up there in the mountains would be higher than the 
beetle's roof 。。。 maybe higher than three beetles stacked on top of each 
other。 
  ;Want you to stay in the car�察�doc。 I'll bring you a candy bar。; 
  ;Why can't I e in�拭─�
  ;I have to make a phone call。 It's private stuff。; 
  ;Is that why you didn't make it at home�拭─�
  ;Check。; 
  Wendy had insisted on a phone in spite of their unraveling finances。 She had 
argued that with a small child ! especially a boy like Danny�察�who sometimes 
suffered from fainting spells ! they couldn't afford not to have one。 So Jack had 
forked over the thirty´dollar installation fee�察�bad enough�察�and a ninety´dollar 
security deposit�察�which really hurt。 And so far the phone had been mute except 
for two wrong numbers。 
  ;Can I have a Baby Ruth�察�Daddy�拭─�
  ;Yes。 You sit still and don't play with the gearshift�察�right�拭─�
  ;Right。 I'll look at the maps。; 
  ;You do that。; 
  As Jack got out�察�Danny opened the bug's glovebox and took out the five 
battered gas station maps�此�Colorado�察�Nebraska�察�Utah�察�Wyoming�察�New Mexico。 He 
loved road maps�察�loved to trace where the roads went with his finger。 As far as 
he was concerned�察�new maps were the best part of moving West。 
  Jack went to the drugstore counter�察�got Danny's candy bar�察�and newspaper�察�and 
a copy of the October Writer's Digest。 He gave the girl a five and asked for his 
change in quarters。 With the silver in his hand he walked over to the telephone 
booth by the keymaking machine and slipped inside。 From here he could see Danny 
in the bug through three sets of glass。 The boy's head was bent studiously over 
his maps。 Jack felt a wave of nearly desperate love for the boy。 The emotion 
showed on his face as a stony grimness。 
  He supposed he could have made his obligatory thank´you call to Al from home�察�
he certainly wasn't going to say anything Wendy would object to。 It was his 
pride that said no。 These days he almost always listened to what his pride told 
him to do�察�because along with his wife and son�察�six hundred dollars in a 
checking account�察�and one weary 1968 Volkswagen�察�his pride was all that was 
left。 The only thing that was his。 Even the checking account was joint。 A year 
ago he had been teaching English in one of the finest prep schools in New 
England。 There had been friends ! although not exactly the same ones he'd had 
before going on the wagon ! some laughs�察�fellow faculty members who admired his 
deft touch in the classroom and his private dedication to writing。 Things had 
been very good six months ago。 All at once there was enough money left over at 
the end of each two´week pay period to start a little savings account。 In his 
drinking days there had never been a penny left over�察�even though Al Shockley 
had stood a great many of the rounds。 He and Wendy had begun to talk cautiously 
about finding a house and making a down payment in a year or so。 A farmhouse in 
the country�察�take six or eight years to renovate it pletely�察�what the hell�察�
they were young�察�they had time。 
  Then he had lost his temper。

  The smell of hope had turned to the smell of old leather in Crommert's office�察�
the whole thing like some scene from his own play�此�the old prints of previous 
Stovington headmasters on the walls�察�steel engravings of the school as it had 
been in 1879�察�when it was first built�察�and in 1895�察�when Vanderbilt money had 
enabled them to build the field house that still stood at the west end of the 
soccer field�察�squat�察�immense�察�dressed in ivy。 April ivy had been rustling 
outside Crommert's slit window and the drowsy sound of steam heat came from the 
radiator。 It was no set�察�he remembered thinking。 It was real。 His life。 How 
could he have fucked it up so badly�拭�
  ;This is a serious situation�察�Jack。 Terribly serious。 The Board has asked me 
to convey its decision to you。; 
  The Board wanted lack's resignation and Jack had given it to them。 Under 
different circumstances�察�he would have gotten tenure that June。 
  What had followed that interview in Crommert's office had been the darkest�察�
most dreadful night of his life。 The wanting�察�the needing to get drunk had never 
been so bad。 His hands shook。 He knocked things over。 And he kept wanting to 
take it out on Wendy and Danny。 His temper was like a vicious animal on a frayed 
leash。 He had left the house in terror that he might strike them。 Had ended up 
outside a bar�察�and the only thing that had kept him from going in was the 
knowledge that if he did�察�Wendy would leave him at last�察�and take Danny with 
her。 He would be d
