Abatshabalalisi be Ubusuku kwihlathi landela.
Xa ndandisengumntwana, umama wam wahamba nodadewethu kuhambo lweebhasi ezimbalwa. Uya kufumana uhlobo lwe-antsy kwaye afune ukushiya idolophu okwexeshana, kwaye kuba wayengumama ongatshatanga, wayengenazo izixhobo zokusa kude kakhulu okanye nantoni na - hayi ukuba ndandikhathala ukuya naphi na, ngokwenene. Ukujingxela kwindawo yokugcina ibhasi, silinde i-Greyhound yethu ukuba ilungele, ngokumangalisayo, yenye yezinto endizithandayo. Kwakukho into malunga nobunzima bayo yonke into; wonke umntu ebesiza okanye esiya, iingqondo zabo zijolise kwindawo abaya kuyo okanye apho bevela khona, bengacingi ngenene ngendawo abahleli kuyo ngoku.
Ngale ndlela, ndaziva ngathi andibonakali. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, ndandingumntwana nje omncinci. Akukho mntu wandihoya. Bonke babexakekile besenza enye into. Ndihlala phantsi ndibukele njengebhasi egcwele abantu, ndidiniwe kukuhamba kwabo, ndingena ngaphakathi ndize ndiphume edepho. Ndiza kubukela xa abantu abanethemba behlanganisene ngasemnyango, belinde ngolangazelelo iihambo zabo ukuba ziqhubeke.
Ubusuku kwihlathi iqala kule ndawo ye-liminal ngqo: indawo yokugcina ibhasi. UMae, ikati ye-anthropomorphic kunye nomlinganiswa ophambili webali lethu, uyishiyile ikholeji ukuba abuyele kwidolophu yakhe iPossum Springs. Akucaci ukuba kutheni ebuya, kwaye sishiyekile ukuba sizibuze ukuba kutheni phantse kuwo wonke umdlalo. Ngelixa imidlalo emininzi ihlala ineentloni okanye iyikhabe ngaw 'omane imbono yobuphakama, Ubusuku kwihlathi ityhila kuyo. Ngapha koko, iyachuma ngokupheleleyo kwisithuba se-liminal esizenzela yona.
Umdlalo wohlulwe waba zizahluko ezimbalwa, kwaye nganye yezi zahluko zahlulwe zaziintsuku ezimbalwa. Ngosuku ngalunye, unikwa ithuba lokuxhoma kunye neqela lomhlobo kaMae elidala lobuntwana: Bea, i-alligator ehlala enesigare esixhonywe emlonyeni wakhe, kunye / okanye uGregg, impungutye enkulu enesikhumba ibhatyi. Emva kwexesha, u-Mae unikwa ithuba lokuxhoma iqabane likaGregg, uAngus, ibhere elinxibe kamnandi elinobukrelekrele obunemvakalelo efana ne-hipster.
Imisebenzi onokuyenza kunye nayo nganye inokwahluka, kwaye ngokwenene uyakwazi ukufumana amava amaninzi ngexesha lokudlala. Ndikunye noGregg, ukhetho oluqhelekileyo lujikeleza ngokwenza uhlobo oluthile lolwaphulo-mthetho (criiiiiiiiiimes), njengokutshaya ii-bulbs ze-fluorescent ngebhola ye-baseball, ukuba emva koko uphinde wakhe iirobhothi ezindala ezinamandla, okanye umlo wokulwa.
Ukusuka kwimbono yomdlalo wokudlala, konke oku kunxibelelana kunokucingelwa njengomdlalo omncinci, imisebenzi emincinci osuka uyenze ngelixa ujinga noGregg. Ibali lakhe linxibelelene nezinto ozenzayo ngelixa ujinga. Uvumela ukutyibilika ekubeni emke kwidolophu yabo kunye neqabane lakhe, uAngus. Ku-Mae, obonakala ngathi ubuyile ekhangela imeko ethile yozinzo, imeko ethile yomhlaba, iindaba ziza njengesothuso- ngokoqobo, njengoko irobhothi bayakha kunye imimoya inyusa umbane, bemphosa ukubona izinto ezingekho mthethweni kwilaptop yakhe, uSharkle.
Ngo-Bea, izinto kugqitywe ukuba zipholile, nangona kukho imvakalelo ethile yobunzima bemvakalelo kwimisebenzi yakhe, ubukhulu becala ngenxa yobuntu bakhe be-goth, idityaniswe nalapho akhoyo ebomini ngoku; ungaxhoma kwindawo ehla ezantsi, engenanto (apho ungenza khona ulwaphulo-mthetho olufana nokweba ezivenkileni, ewe), kwaye ugqibe ukukhumbula izinto ezindala, ungaya kwisidlo sangokuhlwa endaweni yakhe, ebandakanya ukukhetha izithako zangokuhlwa ngelixa uyokuthenga Kwivenkile enkulu ye-mega-enkulu, okanye ungaya edolophini engaphandle kwedolophu nabantu abaninzi abasekholejini. Nganye kwezi, gcina i-hangout yevenkile, kukhokelela ekubeni uMae athabathe uhlobo oluthile lwezinto noBea, nokuba kungenxa yeenjongo ezintle kodwa ekugqibeleni ungenelelo oluphosakeleyo kwezopolitiko zosapho okanye ukuba kungenxa yokungakwazi kwakhe ukuqonda iindlela ezithile zentlalo.
Kwakhona, uMae, onentliziyo yakhe ibambelele ngaphambili, akakwazi ukuqonda inyani yokuba uBea uzama ukudlulela phambili. U-Bea, ngeendlela ezininzi ezahlukeneyo, wanyanzelwa ukuba akhule ngexesha apho u-Mae ebengekho, kwaye akafani ncam no Bea ngaphambi kokuba ahambe u-Mae.
Ubudlelwane bukaMae nabazali bakhe buyefana, njengoko ukubuya kwakhe ngesiquphe ekholejini yayingeyonto eyamkelekileyo, ngenxa yokuba babeke isixa esikhulu sezixhobo zokumthumela kwindawo yokuqala-kubandakanya nokubambisa indlu yabo, ngekhe uqhubeke ngoku.
Ukongeza ekujikelezeni i-Possum Springs emini, Mae uhamba uhambo olungaqhelekanga ebusuku njengoko enamaphupha e-surreal malunga nokuhambahamba ngendlela edidayo, ejijekileyo, enesithunzi sedolophu yakowabo kunye nekholeji. Olu landelelwano aluzange lwenze ngqondo kum ngalo mzuzu, nangona ndicinga ukuba yile ngongoma: ngamaphupha, kwaye awanangqondo xa ukuwo. Ukuya kwinqanaba, uyayazi into ekufuneka uyenzile, njenga kumdlalo, uyazi ngokwaneleyo ukuba ubufanele ufumane abantu abane bedlala umculo kwenye indawo emephini, emva koko ubuyele apho ungene khona ephupheni ukuze uqhubeke.
Awusoze wazi ngoba uyayenza, uyazi nje wena unayo Ukuqhubela phambili-kufana nokuphupha, kubonakala ngathi. Kwisithuba se-liminal sephupha, izinto zenza ingqiqo kuba yindlela ehamba ngayo kwelo hlabathi. Kwisithuba se-liminal se-Possum Springs, i-Mae iyayichasa imeko entsha yasedolophini, kwaye ngokwenza njalo, iphazamisa izinto kancinci kubahlobo bayo nakubo. Izinto ziyatshintsha, njengoko ziqhele ukwenziwa, kwaye amaxesha ngamaxesha, akukho nto unokuyenza ngayo.
Yiyo le imvakalelo yokungabi namandla xa ujongene notshintsho olukhulu uza kuchaza u-Mae kunye nebali lakhe. Usabambekile kweso sithuba setshintsho phakathi kokuba sekhaya kwaye engekho, kwaye intliziyo yakhe ifuna eyokuqala ngaphezulu kokugqibela, kodwa njengoko ibali liqhubeka, ufunda kancinci ukuba ukuqina kwakhe, nokuqaqadeka kokuqonda umbono wakhe ophelelwe lixesha ngokuqinisekileyo ayisiyiyo wamkelekile.
Ngaphezulu kwayo yonke le nto , imbono ephambili yesiqingatha sesibini sebali ibandakanya uphando lukaMae ngokunyamalala okumangalisayo komhlali wasePossum Springs. U-Mae ukholelwa ukuba lo mntu wanyamalala phantsi kweemeko ezingaphaya kwendalo, nasemva komthendeleko weHalloween, wabona abahlali bethunjwa yinto awayeyibiza ngokuba sisiporho. Abahlobo bakhe bavuma ngokungathandabuzekiyo ukumnceda ukuba aphande, kwaye uMae wemba kwimbali yedolophu ukuzama ukufunda okungakumbi ngembali yedolophu enezidanga. Uphando lwabo lubasa kumgodi omdala oshiyiweyo, apho bafunda khona ukuba, kuyabonakala, kukho uluntu olufihlakeleyo lwabadala edolophini abaphosa abanye babahlali bedolophu encinci kumhadi ongenasiphelo njengedini lokuqinisekisa ukuchuma kwedolophu. Yho, nomhadi uyakwazi ukuthetha. Ewe.
Phezulu, kubonakala ngathi longezo olungaqhelekanga kwibali esele linezinto ezimbalwa ezizezayo. Kodwa qaphela: abasebenzi basezimayini benza le nto yoyikekayo ukuze babambelele edolophini yabo. Bangayeki ngandlela zonke ukungavumi utshintsho olumiselwe ukuba lwehlele nantoni na nayo yonke into ekhoyo kweli hlabathi. Akukho mida malunga nento abanokuyenza ukugcina idolophu iphila. Oku kuyafana nomzabalazo kaMae kunye nedolophu kunye ne-denizens, nangona kunjalo kunokuba kwinqanaba elibi kakhulu.
Andizukuphazamisa kanye okwenzekileyo kudlulileyo kwelo nqanaba, kodwa kwanele ukuthi Mae nabahlobo bakhe bonke bafunda izifundo ezinzima koko kuthetha ukukhula. Njengoko besenza, uMae uyawa, ngokukhawuleza, aphume kuloo ndawo ingaqhelekanga phakathi kokuhlala nokuba kude. Ubetha umhlaba, kunzima, kwaye nawuphina umbuzo wokuba uziva eyiphi ngokwenene uphendulwa njengoko ebona uphando lwakhe luye ngqo esiphelweni.
UMae akazange aphinde atyelele indawo yokugcina ibhasi kwakhona-ubuncinci, akazange adlale kum. Akazange abuyele ngokwenene kwisango lobuninzi, nangona ngeendlela ezininzi, akaze ashiye imeko yengqondo ehambelana neendawo ezinjalo. Ngeendlela ezininzi, usekuyo idepho yebhasi, ukubukela nje abahlobo bakhe abathi, ngelixa bemkile, bangaze bayeke ukuhamba. Abanye basendleleni yokuphuma, kwaye abanye basendleleni egodukayo. Kodwa kubo bonke, indawo yokugcina ibhasi yenye nje yokumisa kwindlela eya kwenye into. Ekugqibeleni kuye ku-Mae nokuba ufuna ukubajoyina ekukhweleni okanye hayi.
Oko, kum, sisigqibo esilele entliziyweni Ubusuku kwihlathi . Thina sonke, Mae, okanye Bea, okanye Gregg, okanye nkqu Angus. Sonke sikhula ngesantya sethu, abanye bakhawuleza kunabanye, kwaye-ukuyibetha nyani le mzekeliso yedepho yebhasi kumdaka-sonke sicwangciselwe ukukhwela iibhasi zethu ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo. Asinakukunceda ngokwenene oko. Kukuphela kwayo yonke into, kuthi ukuba ingaba sifuna ukuzama ukwenza konke esinokukunikwa, okanye sikuncame konke ngokupheleleyo.
Ubusuku kwihlathi , Njengamabala amaninzi anzima / imidlalo egxile kwibali, inendlela yokubuza imibuzo emininzi kunokuba iphendula. Ityebile ngeenkcukacha kunye nokunxibelelana ukuba andinakulunga ngokuchanekileyo kuphononongo olunye. Kodwa yile mibuzo inzima eyenza inzulu emhadini wesisu sam endenza ndikholelwe ukuba ngumdlalo ofanele ukudlalwa, kunye nebali elifanelekileyo lokuhlangabezana nalo. Ngexesha lam (kwaye mhlawumbi ndim lo okhulayo), ndiye ndayixabisa loo mibuzo, ezo zinzima, zikhokele iindawo ezingenanto njengezandiso zomdlalo ngokwawo. Nawuphi na umdlalo onokuthi undenze ndicinge nzulu ngobomi bam kunye nokukhetha kwam yinto endingayi kuyilibala msinyane.
Ubusuku kwihlathi kukuthi, izandla phantsi, umzekelo oqaqambileyo wolu hlobo lomdlalo kanye.
