Rooms P2-9

An old house, a long buried secret.....

我在做啥

看我能坚持多久：

每天五页英文阅读，毕业前要是能把书架上的书读完就好了。

这本来是在斯德哥尔摩机场买的，本来是想送给好友的礼物，因为一些原因留在了我的书架上

在网上完全搜不到关于这本书的信息，讲的应该是一个关于鬼灵的故事

摘下的句子

I can say with authority that it was one of the only vices she didn’t have.

In creaks and whispers, in groans and shudders 

The sheets haven’t been changed in three days.

It breaks up the space, -the long watery hours, the soupiness of night.

Noon is the taste of sawdust, and the feel of a splinter under the nail.  

And night is shivering, and the smell of mice sniffing around our skin.

That’s the greatest fear, the danger of being dead. It’s a constant struggle to stay yourself.

Alive，it’s often the reverse.

Its corners are elbows, its stairways our skeleton pieces, splinters of bone and spine.

We regrow into ourselves clumsily.

We hover in the light coming through the window, with the dust; we spin, dizzy in the silence, we slide across the empty

dining room chairs, skate across the well-polished table, rub ourselves against the oriental carpets, curl up in the expressions of old footprints.

It’s both a relief and loss to have our body returned to us.

Like a blade that has been sharpened to a deadly point.

One of the nurse’s mugs, which has begun to stink of sour milk
