I just bought 20 acres of nice land and we got it for very cheap. The Old man wouldn't tell us why it was so cheap; he just shook his head and said, "Please don't ask". So we took it on upon ourselves to find out.
We went to the local library and looked through the old newspapers. And then we came across a story that made our skin crawl. It Read:
"Local Teenagers found dead in woods of a 20 acre plot".
The paper was dated 1942. My girlfriend and I went on to read that apparently two girls were swimming in one of the large ponds there is on the land and one of the girls (we will call her Lauren) got caught up in the net that Jamie's father was using to drag the pond of any catfish. Well Jamie tried to get Lauren untangled from the net but it was too late. Lauren had drowned. Heartbroken that her drunken father had not heard her screaming Jamie walked into the woods leaned against a tree and shot her in the head.
No one could understand why Jamie did this, but as investigations later proved, the two girls were lovers.
我以非常低的价钱买了一块20英亩大的很好的土地。卖地的那个老人不愿告诉我们如此低价卖掉这块地的原因,他只是摇摇头,说:“请不要问我。”因此,我们打算自己来一探究竟。
我们到当地的图书馆去查阅旧报纸,有一则故事让我们毛骨悚然,故事的标题是:“一块20 英亩大的土地的树林中发现两位本地少年死尸。”
报纸是1942年的。我和女朋友接着往下读,事情大概是这样的:两个女孩在本地的一个池塘里游泳,其中的一个女孩(我们且叫她劳兰)被洁米(另一个女孩)父亲放在池塘里用来捕鲶鱼的网缠住,洁米想替劳兰把网解开,但已经来不及了,劳兰已经被溺死。而洁米的爸爸喝醉了,没有听到女儿的尖叫声,心碎的洁米便上岸来到树林里,她靠在一棵树上,举枪自尽了。
没人知道洁米为什么这么做,但随着调查的深入,证明这两个女孩子是一对恋人。
