In the story of “Doctor Sleep”, a grown up Danny Torrance is still dealing with the aftermath of “The Shining” and his own inner demons. He had a method of locking those entities up into boxes within his mind. He had hundreds of such boxes in his mind!

I only want to lock up one person, the grumpy old man in me that just wants to be left alone and not bothered by the outside world, or anyone else for that matter. Because if I let him win, that’s all I’d ever be, a grumpy, lonely old man. And that is definitely not what I want out of life today.

But, when people start acting disingenuous is when I just want to stop participating in this messy life. But, I can’t just quit because I think people aren’t acting right, and old man grumpy doesn’t like it. The problem with the situation is most likely me! Or sometimes when life seems to have put too much on my plate for me to handle, is when old grumpy wants to just crawl into a hole way off in Alaska or something. Where I only have to deal with my immediate needs and not worry about fitting in with society.

So I’m developing a method to keep him quiet, by just telling him to Shut Up as soon as I hear that voice pop up. Then, I can just keep him in a little box in my mind and try to keep him locked up and SILENT!
