第35部分(第1页)

Why? If it wasnt an effort to get himself thrown out of the good job Al had

snagged for him; then what was it?

He deposited the rest of the money in the slots and hung up the phone。 It

really was the senseless kind of thing he might have done if he had been drunk。

But he had been sober; dead cold sober。

Walking out of the drugstore be crunched another Excedrin into his mouth;

grimacing yet relishing the bitter taste。

On the walk outside he met Wendy and Danny。

〃Hey; we were just ing after you;〃 Wendy said。 〃Snowing; dont you know。〃

Jack blinked up。 〃So it is。〃 It was snowing hard。 Sidewinders main street was

already heavily powdered; the center line obscured。 Danny had his head tilted up

to the white sky; his mouth open and his tongue out to catch some of the fat

flakes drifting down。

〃Do you think this is it?〃 Wendy asked。

Jack shrugged。 〃I dont know。 I was hoping for another week or two of grace。

We still might get it。〃

Grace; that was it。

(Im sorry; Al。 Grace; your mercy。 For your mercy。 One more chance。 I am

heartily sorry — )

How many times; over how many years; had he — a grown man — asked for the mercy

of another chance? He was suddenly so sick of himself; so revolted; that he

could have groaned aloud。

〃Hows your headache?〃 she asked; studying him closely。

He put an arm around her and hugged her tight。 〃Better。 e on; you two;

lets go home while we still can。〃

They walked back to where the hotel truck was slantparked against the curb;

Jack in the middle; his left arm around Wendys shoulders; his right hand

holding Dannys hand。 He had called it home for the first time; for better or

worse。

As he got behind the trucks wheel it occurred to him that while he was

fascinated by the Overlook; he didnt much like it。 He wasnt sure it was good

for either his wife or his son or himself。 Maybe that was why he had called

Ullman。

To be fired while there was still time。

He backed the truck out of its parking space and headed them out of town and

up into the mountains。
