Leaning against it was one of the roque mallets from the equipment shed。
He looked at it for a long time。
Then a voice much deeper and much more powerful than Gradys; spoke from
somewhere; everywhere 。。。 from inside him。
(Keep your promise; Mr。 Torrance。)
〃I will;〃 he said。 He heard the fawning servility in his own voice but was
unable to control it。 〃I will。〃
He walked to the chopping block and put his hand on the handle of the mallet。
He hefted it。
Swung it。
It hissed viciously through the air。
Jack Torrance began to smile。

HALLORANN;
GOING UP THE COUNTRY
It was quarter of two in the afternoon and according to the snow…clotted signs
and the Hertz Buicks odometer; he was less than three miles from Estes Park
when he finally went off the road。
In the hills; the snow was falling faster and more furiously than Hallorann
had ever seen (which was; perhaps; not to say a great deal; since Hallorann had
seen as little snow as he could manage in his lifetime); and the wind was
blowing a capricious gale — now from the west; now backing around to the north;
sending clouds of powdery snow across his field of vision; making him coldly
aware again and again that if he missed a turn he might well plunge two hundred
feet off the road; the Electra cartwheeling ass over teapot as it went down。
Making it worse was his own amateur status as a winter driver。 It scared him to
have the yellow center line buried under swirling; drifting snow; and it scared
him when the heavy gusts of wind came unimpeded through the notches in the hills
and actually made the heavy Buick slew around。 It scared him that the road
information signs were mostly masked with snow and you could flip a coin as to
whether the road was going to break right or left up ahead in the white drive…in
movie screen he seemed to be driving through。 He was scared; all right。 He had
driven in a cold sweat since climbing into the hills west of Boulder and Lyons;
handling the accelerator and brake as if they were Ming vases。 Between rock n
roll tunes on the radio; the disc jockey constantly adjured motorists to stay
