Her gloves were off. And her bare hands felt like a cool burn. The way she told it to me, it sounded like a fairy tale.
With my back against the wall, she buried her soft face against my chest and wept. And the rain swept against my face. And she smelled like a too-early love.
“HELP ME FIND MY RING!!! I know you know where it is.”
Then she gave me a kiss I never earned and sent me away, back into the darkness.
When Maxim and I first began thinking about the Porter’s function within the world of Sleep No More, we knew little else except that, in terms of the causal relationships between and amongst all the horrific events that occur within the hotel, he is, with the possible exception of Hecate, the most important character in the show. In every respect that counts, not only is he our eyes and ears into the goings-on of the McKittrick, but he is also, in some sense, responsible for those goings-on.
What’s more: Hecate’s story is about him.
