The Shining Novel Summary Novels & Stories

I pull back with a gasp, but no one else seems to notice the golden glow that is beginning to permeate through the book. I look up at the men. “Do you see that?” I whisper as the words begin to shift, and the writing begins to change. They all shake their heads and gaze down at the book intently.

I look around but I don't see anything. “They are getting closer, will you follow?” he starts to get demanding a little as I sit looking around for the giggling. “Who's getting closer?” I ask the man. Just as I finish asking the man wraps his arms around me from behind the tree, clamping his hands together, holding me right on the rough bark of the tree. “Let me go!” I yell hoping he would listen. The sound of giggling gets louder as his grass gets tighter. I see a light from a flame appear from behind me lighting up everything in front of me. I can see 3 shadows appear on the wall of the building. They still giggle as they get closer to me. I struggle to break free of the man's grasp but I'

Another pain wracks my body, but I make no noise. Loud noise resounds all around us, but this time within the cavernous room. Abruptly, a light comes on, sending the room into a bright, white glow. I’m instantly blinded, but my vision slowly returns. He is coming for us. He’s here. I just hope that it’s not too late. Chapter 1 Two months before …

Anna swallowed hard, opening the book to the final page. “I have to finish the game,” she said. “What does that mean?” Logan demanded. Anna didn’t answer.

Chapter Seventy-Three The Weight of Secrets Stephanie's POV The world seemed to be muffled-off, like I was standing inside a bubble, cocooned away from any person. The soft thrum of Noah's space heater in the living room was the only thing really cutting through to me. It had all changed now, but it didn't feel really real. My fingers strayed absently across the edge of the coffee table, the wood beneath my fingertips cold and smooth. I tried to focus, but my mind began to wander to the mayhem of the past several days.

The book's glow wasn't gentle anymore; this time was alive. I felt it clawing into my veins and demanding more strength than I could possibly give. The words on the page started to get blurry, and my voice trembled as I tried to hold on. "Lila, I need you to listen! I'm stuck somewhere! I don't know where, but it's not home. There are werewolves here, and really dangerous people who tried to kill me, and--"

Haley wanted to ask what Henry was about to say, but upon hearing his last sentence, she forgot about everything else and hurried into the bathroom. Shane was lying in the porcelain bathtub, his eyes tightly closed. His face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color. He was bare-chested, wearing only a pair of briefs, his sexy and well-defined chest exposed to the air. The warm yellow light softened his intimidating aura, making him appear less unapproachable.
