the snow; bright green; as if it had turned its horrid blank face to watch the
end of the stalk。
Now; on the Overlooks front lawn between the circular drive and the porch; he
let the panic loose and began to run clumsily in the snowshoes; not daring to
look back now; tilting further and further forward; his arms out ahead of him
like a blind man feeling for obstacles。 His hood fell back; revealing his
plexion; paste white giving way to hectic red blotches on his cheeks; his
eyes bulging with terror。 The porch was very close now。
Behind him he heard the sudden hard crunch of snow as something leaped。
He fell on the porch steps; screaming without sound; and scrambled up them on
his hands and knees; snowshoes clattering and askew behind him。
There was a slashing sound in the air and sudden pain in his leg。 The ripping
sound of cloth。 Something else that might have — must have — been in his mind。
Bellowing; angry roar。
Smell of blood and evergreen。
He fell full…length on the porch; sobbing hoarsely; the rich; metallic taste
of copper in his mouth。 His heart was thundering in his chest。 There was a small
trickle of blood ing from his nose。
He had no idea how long he lay there before the lobby doors flew open and Jack
ran out; wearing just his jeans and a pair of slippers。 Wendy was behind him。
〃Danny!〃 she screamed。
〃Doc! Danny; for Christs sake! Whats wrong? What happened?〃
Daddy was helping him up。 Below the knee his snowpants were ripped open。
Inside; his woollen ski sock had been ripped open and his calf had been
shallowly scratched 。。。 as if he had tried to push his way through a closely
grown evergreen hedge and the branches had clawed him。
He looked over his shoulder。 Far down the lawn; past the putting green; were a
number of vague; snow…cowled humps。 The hedge animals。 Between them and the
playground。 Between them and the road。
His legs gave way。 Jack caught him。 He began to cry。

blocked the end of the concrete ring。 He couldnt bring himself to repeat that。
And he didnt know the right words to express the creeping; lassitudinous sense
