The winters can be fantastically cruel. The basic idea is to cope with the very costly damage, and depreciation which can occur. This consists mainly of running the boiler, heating different parts of the hotel on a daily rotating basis, repairing damage as it occurs, and doing repairs so the elements can't get a foothold. That sounds fine to me. Physically, it's not a very demanding job. The only thing that can get a bit trying here during the winter is a tremendous sense of isolation. That just happens to be exactly what I'm looking for. I'm outlining a new writing project. Five months of peace is just what I want. That's very good, Jack. Because, for some people, solitude, and isolation can, of itself, become a problem. Not for me. How about your wife and son? Do you think they'll take to it?

But it did. I think you can appreciate why I wanted to tell you about it. I certainly can. I also understand why your people in Denver left it for you to tell me. Obviously, some people can be put off from staying in a place where something like that happened. You can rest assured that's not gonna happen with me. And as far as my wife is concerned, I'm sure she'll be absolutely fascinated when I tell her. She's a confirmed ghost story and horror-film addict.

Tony... I'm scared. Remember what Mr. Hallorann said. It's just like pictures in a book, Danny. It isn't real.
