The Short Frights Podcast 介紹 Poppy 的故事，作者 R.M.

Stories take time to sink their teeth into us.

I could tell you now how this one ends, but it wouldn't have the same impact.

我現在就可以告訴你這個故事的結局，但它不會產生同樣的影響。

It's not until you see yourself in the story, until it feels real, that you become truly invested.

直到你在故事中看到自己，直到感覺故事真實，你才會真正投入其中。

This was something Poppy had to keep in mind.

She was a hospice worker, which required a certain level of detachment.

她是一名臨終關懷工作者，這需要一定程度的超脫。

To protect herself from the pain of her patients' inevitable ends.

為了保護自己免受病人無可避免的結局所帶來的痛苦。

However, Poppy couldn't wait for Mr. Cresswell to die.

然而，罌粟等不到克雷斯韋爾先生死去。

And now, as she prepared to sew up a tear in his nightgown, she wished more than ever for his swift demise.

現在，當她準備縫合他睡衣上的一滴淚水時，她比以往任何時候都更希望他快點死去。

Poppy opened a drawer to retrieve a needle, and felt a chill in the air.

罌粟打開抽屜取針，感到空氣中瀰漫著一股寒意。

Why, oh why, did Mr. Cresswell insist on leaving the windows open?

為什麼，為什麼克萊斯韋爾先生堅持讓窗戶開著？

由於分心，罌粟的手滑了一下。

She pricked herself with the needle, and watched as a spot of blood bloomed on Mr. Cresswell's gown.

她用針刺了自己一下，看著克雷斯韋爾先生的長袍上綻放出一朵朵血花。

Then, from the other room, she thought she heard something.

然後，她好像聽到從另一個房間傳來的聲音。

克雷斯韋爾先生病態的咳嗽聲。

But she knew she should check to see if he was okay.

但她知道自己應該去看看他是否安好。

The floorboards creaked beneath her feet, as she approached the room.

當她走近房間時，腳下的地板發出咯吱咯吱的響聲。

As usual, there lay Mr. Cresswell, tucked under the covers of his bed.

和往常一樣，克萊斯韋爾先生躺在床上，蓋著被子。

He was so weak, it sometimes looked as though he were dead already.

他非常虛弱，有時看起來就像已經死了一樣。

但是沒有，他仍然活得好好的。

She could hear Mr. Cresswell pleading with her through the door.

她隔著門都能聽到克雷斯韋爾先生對她的懇求。

克雷斯韋爾先生從床上站了起來。

To let her know just how badly he needed her.

To teach her that there would be consequences if she were to ever disappoint him like this.

讓她明白，如果她再這樣讓他失望，後果將不堪設想。

而親愛的罌粟......已經沒有時間了。

Don't you want to know how it ends, Poppy?

Mr. Cresswell took her delicate face and slammed it into the ground over and over until the floorboards splintered.

克雷斯韋爾先生捧起她嬌嫩的臉蛋，一次又一次地狠狠砸向地面，直到地板碎裂。

He thrashed her about the room until her body was mangled and bent.

他把她打得滿屋子亂跑，直到她的身體被打得遍體鱗傷。
