25岁的Tansy Aspinall,在她还小的时候,她就曾经跟一只136公斤重的大猩猩一起玩。
当时,身为环保人士的爸爸Damian Aspinall就让她跟大猩猩一起玩,并拍下了照片。
虽然照片造成了很大的争议,但这个体验,似乎也在自信和勇气上,给年幼的Tansy上
了重要的一课。
照片中,是一只叫做Djalta的大猩猩,是她在英国肯特一个野生动物园会一起玩耍的对
象。他们会拥抱、磨鼻子、亲吻对方、嗅闻对方的气味,也就是动物之间很亲暱的行为。
在2002年,Djalta回到了野外,至今,Tansy和这只大猩猩也已经有12年不见了。不过
就在最近,他们又再度重逢了。
现年25岁的Tansy,是一位珠宝设计师,她和她的爸爸一起进入非洲加彭 (Gabon) 的热
带雨林,这对父女用一艘小船航进了丛林深处,这像是个不可能的任务,要寻找大猩猩
Djalta和另外一只也曾经住在动物园的猩猩Bims。
这对父女在炎热的热带雨林中找寻了数个小时,然后在丛林中看到了两个熟悉的面孔,
疑惑地看着他们。这对雄性大猩猩,即便有好多年没有看到人类了,还是马上认出来,
并上前热情地拥抱了这对父女。

It was only one month since Tansy moved into Oakcrest Manor. Everything
inside the building was almost the same as her previous apartment, the
Chestnut Lodge. She loved to live there, but had to leave. Nevertheless, she still kept a copy of key to Chestnut Lodge.
“You must know Susie very well? My previous landlord.”
Tansy asked Jason, when he showed her round. Jason didn’t response promptly, which made Tansy a little bit embarrassed.
“Your complex’s structure is exactly the same as Susie’s.

After signing the lease, her next task was to find a roommate, a decent one. From the dozens of replies to her Craigslist ad, Tansy picked Mia. Tansy is a computer science major, and Mia is a law student. Two girls set their first meeting in town. Mia has a long sandy-blond hair and grayish-blue eyes, slender shape, and well-mannered. But, Tansy can sensed, from Mia’s body language and the way she talked, an air of detachment and arrogance mixing with her gardenia smell bodyspray. These tra

Mia was doing something at her room, when she heard knocking at the door.
It was Tansy outside.
“Tansy, I don’t know you went outside. Are you all right?” Mia opened the
door for her.
“I am fine, Mia. I just needed some fresh air, but forgot to bring my key.
Sorry.”
Tansy’s face looked a little bit pale.
A break outside at a tornado night? However, Mia didn’t ask anything, and
said good night to her roomie before turning back to her room.
A few weeks later, another tornado was coming.

The song kept playing day after day. Tansy neither turned to Jason, the
landlord living in the house opposite; nor knocked her musician neighbor’s
door. To her own surprise, she found herself kind of addicted to the playing
. In early morning, she woke up but didn’t get up immediately, waiting for
the song playing; and at late night, she can’t go to sleep, until the
nightly routine started. A few more bands were added to her iPod later,

Tansy kept watching the Jason’s though window. Suddenly, the songs flooded out, like water from a filled bath tub, steady and promptly. Tansy turned back to the clock. It’s 7:18pm. She never knew it to play at this time.

Tornado special?!
She made a rushed meal and returned to her room. The songs were still playing. She sang quietly following B. B. King.

“Jason, is that you? Why did you do all this?” Tansy looked over the
window, and saw Jason standing by his loft window, holding the phone in his
right hand, and something, probably the CD remote control, in his left hand.
“It’s all for you, for your good.” Jason’s voice over phone is steady
but tender.
“Don’t misunderstand me, Tansy. Listen, I know where you lived, and why
you left there, and why you don’t want anybody get close to you. You are

據我分析,Mia才是這個故事的主角,或者說“我”的本體。
“我”的一部分靈智,在開頭那個wild wild dream之后,被邪靈Jason控制(Jason的
真實身份,作者沒有披露,到底是外星生物、異界幽靈、還是來自古老文明的吸血鬼,
也許并不重要,我們姑且稱之為邪靈),從而出現了精神分裂的狀態,Tansy便是化身
之一,作為邪靈的agent,來進一步吸取“我”殘存的靈智。兩次出現的tornado,似曾
相見的de javu,最后深情的相擁,很充分的說明的這一點。
作為邪靈agent的Tansy下意識里對 Chestnut Lodge 的厭惡與恐懼,源自于chestnut
tree所象征的堅貞。而同時也是“我”的迷惑,誘惑的來源。另外值得注意的是文章的
標題,Oak Crest Manor,橡樹傳統上經常作為生命之樹的象征,這或許暗示著更宏大
的背景,光明與黑暗、生命與死亡的斗爭。Oak Crest Manor只是一個引子,Jason也許
也只是更高層次黑暗勢力的代言人。
開始那個 wild wild dream 也是很值得分析的,小子才淺,不敢置喙;道行更淺,不
敢深入虎穴,深恐迷

牛筋细心,got it!
I, tansy和虽然是室友,关系是冷淡生疏保持距离的。想通过生硬对话表现这种关系。
不过,可以赶成娴熟的冷漠,嗯。
II, 听歌,听着听着,就睡着了;next second,就到梦里了。高潮过后,又醒来了。
see, i need a dv!!!
其实,原来的设想是,tansy和jason之间不止tornado一夜。这两人之间还有许多回合
。无奈,受限于篇幅,受限于英文表达能力,就让他们一夜完结,对手戏也很说教,我
知道。留待将来慢慢改。

Tansy wasn’t sleeping well recently. Not because of the sizzling summer
. Summer nights are pretty cool at the Oakcrest Manor, hidden in woods over
riverside. It was because of that music, floating down from the upstairs.

But, she didn’t. She made up her mind to keep a decent distance away from
Mia. It turned out to be the right decision. And, that first month under the
same roof, they got along pretty well. Most of the time, they stayed at
their own room. Not much girl talk. Sometime during a day or night, they
would run into each other at kitchen or living room.

She knocked at the door of Apt 9, no one responded. She knocked more. Then a
tiny but clear click from the lock was heard. Breathless, though she did
open the door, and got into it.
Nothing at all! Vacant kitchen, dining room, and even living room!
She felt a little bit nervous. A voice inside her was warning her to leave.
Immediately! But, driven by an inexplicable power, her legs were moving her in the opposite direction, to the eastward bedroom, the room right above
Tansy’s bedroom.
