Who: Danny Torrance (Age 8 and a month and a bit) and open
Where: Food court
What: Danny is a scared little boy
When: 9th October
Rating: scared, Complete!
Danny didn't know what was going on.
Mrs Massey had found him again. He'd gone for a pee during the night, but she was in the bathroom, and she wasn't meant to be because the Overlook had burned down a couple of years ago (2 years, 3 months and a handful of days ago) and taken all the ghosts and his daddy with it. But she'd found him again and left bits of herself behind. So he'd peed in the kitchen sink, woken his mom and told her, and then hid.
He didn't want to talk. He didn't want to get out of bed. He didn't want to think or feel or do anything because she'd found him and she was going to finish the job she'd started in Room 217, she was going to kill him. Dick was on his way, he knew because his mom had called him and he'd said he'd come, but Danny still stayed in bed.
His mom made him get out of bed and eat something, even though he didn't want it. He didn't speak while his mom fussed. He was shuffling back to bed, wrapped in his blanket, when all of a sudden, he wasn't in the apartment with his mom any more. He was somewhere weird, like a food court in a mall, and the big window ahead of him seemed to be looking out on space. Danny froze, gave a terrified little moan, and then ducked in under the closest table. He curled in on himself, pulled his blanket tight around him and over his head, and leaned against the central table-leg. He was sucking his thumb again without realizing it, and fighting the urge to cry. This had been a really shitty day.
