An　unknown　length　of　time　later；　he　came　around　a　driftbanked　curve　and　saw　a

glimmering　flash　of　light　ahead。　Just　a　glimpse；　and　then　it　was　blotted　out　by

a　rising　fold　of　land。　The　glimpse　was　so　brief　he　was　persuading　himself　it　had

been　wishful　thinking　when　another　turn　brought　it　in　view　again；　slightly

closer；　for　another　few　seconds。　There　was　no　question　of　its　reality　this　time；

he　had　seen　it　from　just　this　angle　too　many　times　before。　It　was　the　Overlook。

There　were　lights　on　the　first　floor　and　lobby　levels；　it　looked　like。

Some　of　his　terror　—　the　part　that　had　to　do　with　driving　off　the　road　or

wrecking　the　snowmobile　on　an　unseen　curve　—　melted　entirely　away。　The　snowmobile

swept　surely　into　the　first　half　of　an　S　curve　that　he　now　remembered

confidently　foot　for　foot；　and　that　was　when　the　headlamp　picked　out　the

（oh　dear　Jesus　god　what　is　it）

in　the　road　ahead　of　him。　Limned　in　stark　blacks　and　whites；　Hallorann　first

thought　it　was　some　hideously　huge　timberwolf　that　had　been　driven　down　from　the

high　country　by　the　storm。　Then；　as　he　closed　on　it；　he　recognized　it　and　horror

closed　his　throat。

Not　a　wolf　but　a　lion。　A　hedge　lion。

Its　features　were　a　mask　of　black　shadow　and　powdered　snow；　its　haunches　wound

tight　to　spring。　And　it　did　spring；　snow　billowing　around　its　pistoning　rear

legs　in　a　silent　burst　of　crystal　glitter。

Hallorann　screamed　and　twisted　the　handlebars　hard　right；　ducking　low　at　the

same　time。　Scratching；　ripping　pain　scrawled　itself　across　his　face；　his　neck；

his　shoulders。　The　ski　mask　was　torn　open　down　the　back。　He　was　hurled　from　the

snowmobile。　He　hit　the　snow；　plowed　through　it；　rolled　over。

He　could　feel　it　ing　for　him。　In　his　nostrils　there　was　a　bitter　smell　of

green　leaves　and　holly。　A　huge　hedge　paw　batted　him　in　the　small　of　the　back　and

he　flew　ten　feet　through　the　air；　splayed　out　like　a　rag　doll。　He　saw　the

snowmobile；　riderless；　strike　the　embankment　and　rear　up；　its　headlamp　searching

the　sky。　It　fell　over　with　a　thump　and　stalled。

Then　the　hedge　lion　was　on　him。　There　was　a　crackling；　rustling　sound。

Something　raked　across　the　front　of　the　parka；　shredding　it。　It　might　have　been

stiff　twigs；　but　Hallorann　knew　it　was　claws。

〃Youre　not　there！〃　Hallorann　screamed　at　the　circling；　snarling　hedge　lion。

〃Youre　not　there　at　all！〃　He　struggled　to　his　feet　and　made　it　halfway　to　the
