Don't ignore the facts this time, girl. There are certain facts, facts as absurd as your position seems. One of them is that you may be the only responsible person left in this pile of perversions. You have a five-year-old son to protect, and your husband—whatever happens to him, however dangerous he may be—maybe he is...maybe he is responsible for you, too. And even if it isn't, think about this: today is December 2nd. You could be stuck here for another four months if one of the guards doesn't come by, even if they start wondering why you haven't been on the radio. No one's coming today, or tomorrow... or maybe not for weeks. Are you going to spend a month sneaking downstairs preparing meals with a knife in your pocket, jumping at any shadow? Do you think you could keep Jack out of the apartment upstairs if he wanted to come in? He has the master key, and with one—hard—kick he'll kick the door down. The Shining has been translated into over thirty languages ​​and has sold over a million copies. It was nominated for several awards, most notably the Lucas and Gandalf Awards. It was also made into a film, which also won numerous awards. Critics considered it one of the most important horror films in history, and one of the most important films by international star Jack Nicholson and director Stanley Kubrick.
