I could feel it was too early again when I woke, and I knew I was getting the schedule of my days and nights slowly reversed.
當我醒來的時候，我發覺時間還太早。我知道自己正在慢慢地顛倒著晝夜的作息時間。
I lay in my bed and listened to the quiet voices of Alice and Jasper in the other room. That they were loud enough for me to hear at all was strange.
我躺在床上，聽著愛麗絲和賈斯帕在另一間屋子里安靜的說話聲。他們的說話聲居然大到我能聽見的程度，這點很奇怪。
I rolled till my feet touched the floor and then staggered to the living room.
我翻滾著身子，直到自己的腳落到地板上，然后步履蹣跚地走到起居室里。
The clock on the TV said it was just after two in the morning. Alice and Jasper were sitting together on the sofa, Alice sketching again while Jasper looked over her shoulder.
電視機上的時鐘顯示著現在是凌晨兩點。愛麗絲和賈斯帕一起坐在沙發上，愛麗絲又開始畫速寫了，而賈斯帕正越過她的肩膀看著。
They didn't look up when I entered, too engrossed in Alice's work.
當我進屋的時候，他們沒有抬頭，只是全神貫注地看著愛麗絲的作品。
I crept to Jasper's side to peek.
我挪動步子，走到賈斯帕身旁窺視著。
"Did she see something more?" I asked him quietly.
“她又看見了別的東西？”我安靜地問他。
"Yes. Something's brought him back to the room with the VCR, but it's light now."
“是的。出于某種原因，他帶著那盤錄像帶回到了那個房間，但那個房間現在亮起來了。”
I watched as Alice drew a square room with dark beams across its low ceiling. The walls were paneled in wood, a little too dark, out of date.
我看著愛麗絲畫出一個方形的房間，暗色的橫梁在低矮的天花板上交錯著。墻上嵌著木板，嵌板的顏色有點發黑，樣式很過時了。
The floor had a dark carpet with a pattern in it. There was a large window against the south wall, and an opening through the west wall led to the living room.
地板上鋪著一塊暗色調的地毯，上面只有一個圖案。南面的墻上有一扇大大的窗，西面的墻被打通了，一直通向起居室。
One side of that entrance was stone — a large tan stone fireplace that was open to both rooms. The focus of the room from this perspective, the TV and VCR,
那個入口的一側是石砌的——那是一個巨大的棕褐色的壁爐，同時通向兩個房間。就這個視角而言，
balanced on a too-small wooden stand, were in the southwest corner of the room. An aged sectional sofa curved around in front of the TV, a round coffee table in front of it.
這個房間的焦點是擺在屋子西南角那張太小的木架子上的，那臺電視和錄像機。一套有些年頭的組合沙發環繞在電視機前，一張圓咖啡桌擺在沙發組前。
"The phone goes there," I whispered, pointing.
“電話在這里。”我用指尖點著，低聲說道。
Two pairs of eternal eyes stared at me.
兩雙永恒的眼睛盯著我。
"That's my mother's house."
“這是我媽媽的房子。”
