you。　They　were　like　scary　pictures　in　a　book；　that　was　all。　And　maybe　he

wouldnt　see　anything。　On　the　other　hand　。。。

He　plunged　his　left　hand　into　his　pocket　and　it　came　out　holding　the　passkey。

It　had　been　there　all　along；　of　course。

He　held　it　by　the　square　metal　tab　on　the　end　which　had　OFFICE　printed　on　it

in　Magic　Marker。　He　twirled　the　key　on　its　chain；　watching　it　go　around　and

around。　After　several　minutes　of　this　he　stopped　and　slipped　the　passkey　into

the　lock。　It　slid　in　smoothly；　with　no　hitch；　as　if　it　had　wanted　to　be　there

all　along。

（Ive　thought　Ive　seen　things　。。。　nasty　things　。。。　promise　me　you　wont

go　in　there。）

（I　promise。）

And　a　promise　was；　of　course；　very　important。　Still；　his　curiosity　itched　at

him　as　maddeningly　as　poison　ivy　in　a　place　you　arent　supposed　to　scratch。　But

it　was　a　dreadful　kind　of　curiosity；　the　kind　that　makes　you　peek　through　your

fingers　during　the　scariest　parts　of　a　scary　movie。　What　was　beyond　that　door

would　be　no　movie。

（I　dont　think　those　things　can　hurt　you　。。。　like　scary　pictures　in　a　book　。。。）

Suddenly　he　reached　out　with　his　left　hand；　not　sure　of　what　it　was　going　to

do　until　it　had　removed　the　passkey　and　stuffed　it　back　into　his　pocket。　He

stared　at　the　door　a　moment　longer；　blue…gray　eyes　wide；　then　turned　quickly　and

walked　back　down　the　corridor　toward　the　main　hallway　that　ran　at　right　angles

to　the　corridor　he　was　in。

Something　made　him　pause　there　and　he　wasnt　sure　what　for　a　moment。　Then　he

remembered　that　directly　around　this　corner；　on　the　way　back　to　the　stairs；

there　was　one　of　those　old…fashioned　fire　extinguishers　curled　up　against　the

wall。　Curled　there　like　a　dozing　snake。

They　werent　chemical…type　extinguishers　at　all；　Daddy　said；　although　there

were　several　of　those　in　the　kitchen。　These　were　the　forerunner　of　the　modern

sprinkler　systems。　The　long　canvas　hoses　hooked　directly　into　the　Overlooks

plumbing　system；　and　by　turning　a　single　valve　you　could　bee　a　one…man　fire

department。　Daddy　said　that　the　chemical　extinguishers；　which　sprayed　foam　or

CO；　were　much　better。　The　chemicals　smothered　fires；　took　away　the　oxygen　they

needed　to　burn；　while　a　high…pressure　spray　might　just　spread　the　flames　around。

Daddy　said　that　Mr。　Ullman　should　replace　the　old…fashioned　hoses　right　along

with　the　old…fashioned　boiler；　but　Mr。　Ullman　would　probably　do　neither　because

he　was　a　CHEAP　PRICK。　Danny　knew　that　this　was　one　of　the　worst　epithets　his

father　could　summon。　It　was　applied　to　certain　doctors；　dentists；　and　appliance

repairmen；　and　also　to　the　head　of　his　English　Department　at　Stovington；　who　had

disallowed　some　of　Daddys　book　orders　because　he　said　the　books　would　put　them
