   Summary

   To It, Dick Hallorann is a light that cannot be forgotten. The world-devourer cannot let go: It marked Dick back in Derry, turning his Shining into an open door for itself. Hallorann may run all the way to the Overlook, but Pennywise is already in his mind. It is too jealous to share its prey with the Hotel, and It will never leave Dick in peace
