ing　he　turned　away；　his　face　angry　and　set。　He　belted　his

robe　around　him　at　the　door；　opened　it；　and　stepped　out　into　the　dark　hall。

Wendy　hesitated　for　a　moment；　and　it　was　actually　Danny　who　began　to　move

first。　She　caught　up　quickly；　and　they　went　out　together。

Jack　hadn't　bothered　with　the　lights。　She　fumbled　for　the　switch　that　lit　the

four　spaced　overheads　in　the　hallway　that　led　to　the　main　corridor。　Up　ahead；

Jack　was　already　turning　the　corner。　This　time　Danny　found　the　switchplate　and

her　in　a　masturbatory　act。

〃e　on；〃　she　said；　and　they　went　down　the　hall　to　Jack。

The　hummings　and　clankings　and　thumpings　were　louder　here；　terrifying　in　a
