He attached the can to the back of the snowmobile; fumbling the job several
times before getting it right because his fingers were going numb。 For the first
time he became aware that hed lost Howard Cottrells mittens。
(i get out of this i gonna have my sister knit you a dozen pair; howie)
〃Get on!〃 Hallorann shouted at the boy。
Danny shrank back。 〃Well freeze!〃
〃We have to go around to the equipment shed! Theres stuff in there 。。。
blankets 。。。 stuff like that。 Get on behind your mother!〃
Danny got on; and Hallorann twisted his head so he could shout into Wendys
face。
〃Missus Torrance! Hold onto me! You understand? Hold on!〃
She put her arms around him and rested her cheek against his back。 Hallorann
started the snowmobile and turned the throttle delicately so they would start up
without a jerk。 The woman had the weakest sort of grip on him; and if she
shifted backward; her weight would tumble both her and the boy off。
They began to move。 He brought the snowmobile around in a circle and then they
were traveling west parallel to the hotel。 Hallorann cut in more to circle
around behind it to the equipment shed。
They had a momentarily clear view into the Overlooks lobby。 The gasflame
ing up through the shattered floor was like a giant birthday candle; fierce
yellow at its heart and blue around its flickering edges。 In that moment it
seemed only to be lighting; not destroying。 They could see the registration desk
with its silver bell; the credit card decals; the old…fashioned; scrolled cash
register; the small figured throw rugs; the highbacked chairs; horsehair
hassocks。 Danny could see the small sofa by the fireplace where the three nuns
had sat on the day they had e up — closing day。 But this was the real closing
day。
Then the drift on the porch blotted the view out。 A moment later they were
skirting the west side of the hotel。 It was still light enough to see without
the snowmobiles headlight。 Both upper stories were flaming now; and pennants of
flame shot out the windows。 The gleaming white paint had begun to blacken and
peel。 The shutters which had covered the Presidential Suites picture window —
shutters Jack had carefully fastened as per instructions in mid…October — now hung
in flaming brands; exposing the wide and shattered darkness behind them; like a
toothless mouth yawing in a final; silent deathrattle。
