instead , she backs away and collides with the wall , and then turns and starts to leave again , actually steps out of the bedroom and into the corridor beyond , but the mute figure hanging there calls her back , and she steps into the bedroom again , and moves across the room toward the figure hanging on the inside of the bathroom door , a step at a time , stopping before each step to catch her breath and recapture her courage , looking up at the man hanging there and then looking down again to take another step , watching her inching feet , moving closer and closer to the door and the grotesque figure hanging there .
