It was an old hotel, okay. He didn’t know where his mother got the money for a week vacation, and he didn’t know why she picked some place in Colorado, way up in the mountains. Yeah, it was summer, but what could they do here?

The second they had stepped into the place, Eddie felt a wave of nausea, for just a moment, and once it passed, he just had a bad feeling.

Eddie had been experiencing this since.. as long as he could remember. He knew his father was dying before he was gone, and Frank had died when Eddie was only five. The point was, living in Derry -- where the voices of hundreds of dead kids constantly were crying out from the sewers -- Eddie knew when certain bad feelings needed to be listened to. When they stepped into the Overlook, Eddie hated it. There was no way his mother would turn around just because her son had a bad feeling.. so he just had to pump himself up. A week here would be fine.

@shiningbled​: sent me 😰 for a glimpse at one of bill’s nightmares! ( no longer accepting )

A  long  hall,  illuminated  so  brightly  it’s  hard  to  see.  The  strange  carpet  gives  him  a  weird  sense  of  motion  sickness,  but  he  doesn’t  allow  that  take  him  away  from  exploring  the  place.  It  feels  different,  somehow  to  the  rest  of  the  places  he  has  been  in,  awake  OR  asleep.  It’s  an  hotel,  he  thinks,  or  it  used  to  be  one,  before.  The  place  is  empty  now,  but  out  of  the  corner  of  his  eyes  he  sees  movement,  and  he  finds  a  little  kid  going  about  the  place  in  his  tiny  tricycle.

He  smiles  immediately,  following  the  kid  from  a  safe  distance  to  keep  him  safe,  even  if  he  doesn’t  seem  to  notice.  The  kid  clearly  know  his  way  around  the  place,  but  he  probably  took  a  wrong  turn,  because  they  find  themselves  in  a  dead  end.  He  stops  abruptly  on  his  track,  and  the  whole  ambience  of  the  place  changes;  Bill  sees  at  the  end  of  the  hall  two  girls,  twins  holding  hands,  who  speak  without  really  speaking  ( “ come PLAY with us, Danny ” )  and  suddenly  realizes  three  things  at  the  same  time:  For  starters,  he’s  dreaming.  Secondly,  this  is  a  nightmare.  And  third—  this  isn’t  HIS  nightmare.

He  runs  and  takes  the  kid—  Dan,  of  course  it  was  Dan,  holding  him  to  his  chest  and  away  from  the  creatures,  the  ghosts,  who  are  now  calling  for  him  ( “ Billy, COME, Billy boy ”  he  shivers )  “ Dan,  this  isn’t  real,  you  have  to  wake  up,  NOW  Dan,  it  isn’t  real! ”  he  says  to  kid,  and  when  the  twins  are  about  to  get  to  them,  he  closes  his  eyes  and  is  abruptly  awaken.

————  🎈  ————

When  they  come  back  from  the  dream,  he  finds  he  has  brought  Dan  into  a  tight  hug  even  in  the  real  world.  He’s  not  sure  of  how  much  he  knows  about  what  just  happened,  or  if  he  even  wants  to  talk  about  it,  but  as  their  breathing  calms  down,  Bill  kisses  Dan  forehead,  slowly  easing  into  soft  touches  in  his  arms  and  back.  It’s  a  subtle  way  of  telling  him  he’s  there  for  him  and  that  he  is  not  leaving,  no  matter  how  many  nightmares  he  has  to  face  off  from  now  own.

@shiningbled​ ASKED ::  “you know what? now is really not a good time.”

@shiningbled​ : “ you are so strong . ”

        a  soft  smile  tugged  at  her  lips .  almost   FAINT  even .  though -- while  she  did  come  off as  she  was ,  she  was  far  from   it  .  an  angel  who  only  did  what  needed  to  be  done  .
