Having seen Mr. Grady himself, Jack was told to correct his wife Wendy and son Danny. However when he was chasing down Danny in the Overlook's Maze, he lost Danny's trail and was lost in the maze. Cold and slowly Dying, Jack was sure to be dead, however, The Ghost's of the Overlook wanted to make sure that he could still Correct his actions in a different realm. The Overlook summoned the Entity, and Jack disappeared in a cloud of fog and snow.

39 Years after the Overlook, **Danny Torrance** was traumatized and haunted by the spirits. However he used his gift of the "shining" to lock them away in his mind for years. Slipping from a Drunken state, Danny awoke the a new presence, a young Girl with the shine, and the horrific True Knot. Danny helped Abra kill the True Knot, one by one they fell until all that was left was Rose the Hat. In order to not only kill Rose, but finally end his nightmares, He came back to The Overlook. With the Boiler Room overflowing, and Rose the Hat's death, Danny sat in the Boiler Room and the Overlook ignited into flames. There he saw his mother, his mother held out her hands and walked him into a Black Fog.

*“Has it ever occurred to you that I have agreed to look after the Overlook Hotel until May the first. Does it matter to you at all that the owners have placed their complete confidence and "trust" in me, and that I have signed a letter of agreement, a "contract," in which I have accepted that responsibility? Do you have the slightest idea what a "moral and ethical principal" is? Do you? Has it ever occurred to you what would happen to my future, if I were to fail to live up to my responsibilities?
