Amanda P., a 28-year-old single woman, returns home to London after a work trip to America. She has been in New York for 10 days. She lives alone. She sets her briefcase down on the doorstep, and, as she turns her key in the lock, an idea takes hold. “I had this fantasy - I saw it like a film: turning the key triggers some sort of detonator and the whole flat blows up, the door exploding off its hinges towards me, killing me instantly. I was imagining that terrorists had been in my flat and had carefully primed a bomb to kill me. Why would I have such a crazy fantasy?”
28岁的单身女性阿曼达•P去美国出差回到伦敦。她在纽约呆了10天。她一个人住。到了家门口,她放下箱子,把钥匙插进门锁,这时,一个念头冒了出来。“我想象着——就像在看电影一样:转动钥匙会触发起爆器,把整个房子爆飞,门板脱开绞链砸向我,当场把我杀死。我想象恐怖分子躲在我屋子里,精心地布置了一枚炸弹,要杀我。我为什么会有这么疯狂的想法呢?”
