and then Lloyd brings up a certain account that happened a couple of years back
at the hotel, about a man that murdered his family from what you call “cabin
fever” caused by seclusion and away from everything. Jack is stuned by what he
hears and then quickly say’s something to the effect of not having to worry
about something like that happening, and that he needed the months off to get
started on a book he was writing. Lloyd decides to let him have the job, and
asked him to come back the next day. The next day Danny (his son) and wife Wendy
and Jack left for the hotel.
They arrive and get there bags dropped off, it is the last day the hotel is open
for the season, and people are checking out, and workers cleaning up, so they
can leave for the spring. Jack and Wendy goto meet up with Lloyd, and Danny
leaves for the game room. Lloyd takes them around the hotel to look around and
get a feel of were they will be staying, and shows them their rooms. They stop
and meet up with the head cook Dick Hallorann, Lloyd ask Dick to show Wendy and
Danny around the Kitchen as he takes Jack to see the rest of the hotel. Dick
Hallorann goes threw the kitchen and shows Wendy what to do, and what to use,
etc… all threw this time of the tour Dick keeps on using a mind signal, a
voice to communicate, at first Danny does not realize it, but then as the tour
wraps up, the family meets back up, and Dick offers Danny some ice cream as
Lloyd takes Wendy and Jack to another part of the hotel. As Danny is eatting
his ice cream, Dick is talking to him, and then talks about, what he was doing
during the tour how, he could communicate with him without even talking, there
are few people who have this gift and some dont even know they have it, he said
its called “the shining”. A couple weeks later after adapting to living in this
hotel, life is good and they are happy for once, he has plenty of space to move
around and lots of time to start writing his book, but he is drained of idea’s.
Danny starts to see things as he walks around the halls of the hotel, not real
things images in his mind, horrible and frightning things, though he had no
knowledge of what happened in the hotel years before.
A couple of more weeks set in and Jack started seeing things, such as people who
werent really there. All this time Jack has been losing his mind due to cabin
fever. One day Wendy stepped into his writting room to see what he had been
typing, and there was a stack of papers that read things like “all work and no
play makes Jack insane” and other things to effect on the papers, Wendy then
panics and notices he has changed, and has totally lost his mind. Jack starts
to see people and talk’s with them, as if they were really there. Dick away on
leave for the winter, starts to worry about the family and try’s to phone them,
no luck, so he gets the police to try to use the radio, then there was no luck
there either.
Jack’s mind starts to wear away, and he starts to totally lose it. Dick
Hallorann decides to go back to the Overlook and see if the family is danger,
because he picked up signals of that, threw “the shining” from Danny. Wendy
decides to look for Jack because he didnt come back the following night, so she
goes around looking for him in the hotel with a bat, and then confronts him as
she was looking threw his writing, and then he talks to here about doing
something with Danny, and he follows her up some stairs and she swings the bat a
couple times, as he says he was going to kill her and knocks him down the stairs,
and then drags him into the kitchen and locks him up in the freezer. The next
morning he leaves the freezer and grabs an axe and goes to Their bedroom Danny
got out and ran outside, and Wendy could not get out so she used the knife and
stabbed Jack when he broke down the door with an axe, and Wenday ran past him,
