From the mind of Stanley Kubrick, that moment of either imminent death to am I going to survive this. The hysteria, panic, of what we see and know, and how we cope with such knowledge. Do we suffer such unexplainable fate? A beautiful cast of characters, spaceous Overlook hotel, that brings out this beautiful scenery.

surrounded by desth, trapped with death, trapped in this reoccurring cycle of insanity, unable to distinguish what's real or unreal, an unremoveable force that cripples the mind. Amounting force of pressure, respinsibility, expectations, that just hits us like a wintering storm.

Waiting for someone to come there senses, but no one is going anywhere. Trapping ourselves and others in this madness, until we fulfill this contract of burden. Those whom escape the trapped maze on insanity live, and those whom remain, are left alone in dispair I and death.

Some have never left, petmanent guests forever trapped, reinvited back to join the party of insanity.
