And you pass the power room as the elevator growls to a clanking start.
And you see the vague, red *THING* at the end of the hallway.
And you completely forget you're wearing a red uniform jacket, the end of the hallway is a window, it's black as pitch outside...and you've just been frightened out of your mind by your own reflection.
When I got back to the front desk they took one look at my bleached face and assumed the drunk had done something horrific to me when in actuallity he'd been the most pleasant part of the entire endeavor.

The Shining is the only book I have ever read that made me feel like I was being watched and keep looking around the room to check there was no-one there
