Her pubic hair floated。 Her hands were frozen on the knurled porcelain sides of
the tub like crab claws。
Danny shrieked。 But the sound never escaped his lips; turning inward and
inward; it fell down in his darkness like a stone in a well。 He took a single
blundering step backward; hearing his heels clack on the white hexagonal tiles;
and at the same moment his urine broke; spilling effortlessly out of him。
The woman was sitting up。
Still grinning; her huge marble eyes fixed on him; she was sitting up。 Her
dead palms made squittering noises on the porcelain。 Her breasts swayed like
ancient cracked punching bags。 There was the minute sound of breaking ice
shards。 She was not breathing。 She was a corpse; and dead long years。
Danny turned and ran。 Bolting through the bathroom door; his eyes starting
from their sockets; his hair on end like the hair of a hedgehog about to be
turned into a sacrificial
(croquet? or roque?)
ball; his mouth open and soundless。 He ran full…tilt into the outside door of
217; which was now closed。 He began hammering on it; far beyond realizing that
it was unlocked; and he had only to turn the knob to let himself out。 His mouth
pealed forth deafening screams that were beyond human auditory range。 He could
only hammer on the door and hear the dead woman ing for him; bloated belly;
dry hair; outstretched hands something that had lain slain in that tub for
perhaps years; embalmed there in magic。
The door would not open; would not; would not; would not。
And then the voice of Dick Hallorann came to him; so sudden and unexpected; so
calm; that his locked vocal cords opened and he began to cry weakly not with
fear but with blessed relief。
(I dont think they can hurt you 。。。 theyre like pictures in a book 。。。
close your eyes and theyll be gone。)
His eyelids snapped down。 His hands curled into balls。 His shoulders hunched
with the effort of his concentration:
(Nothing there nothing there not there at all NOTHING
THERE THERE IS NOTHING!)
Time passed。 And he was just beginning to relax; just beginning to realize
that the door must be unlocked and he could go; when the years…damp; bloated;
fish…smelling hands closed softly around his throat and he was turned implacably
around to stare into that dead and purple face。
