Rachel Trezise
The floorboards on the other side of the veranda creaked. I stepped back, my guts in my mouth. A gypsy boy was slumped on the step in front of the door, his face partially hidden behind the sunflower leaves. He opened his eyes, surprised, and sat up straight, his dark hair clipped to the skull apart from three knotty rat tails hanging down to his waist, stiffened with grease. His skin was the colour of tea, except for a silver bruise on the inside of his calf, visible through a huge rip in his dirty blue jeans. ‘This isn’t your house,’ I told him, going tentatively for the pistol in my dress pocket. | Translation - Chinese 永远的假期

走廊那边的地板发出了一声裂响。我后退了一步,心跳堵在了嗓子眼。一个吉卜赛男孩歪倒在大门前的台阶上,他的脸一半藏在向日葵叶子后面。他惊讶地睁开眼睛,坐直了身,他的黑发绑了三个辫子,紧贴在头皮上,一直垂到腰际,又油又硬。 他皮肤的颜色就像茶一样褐黑,除了小腿上一道银白色的青淤,暴露在他又破又烂的牛仔裤下面。“这不是你的房子,”我对他说,不確定地伸手握住我裙兜里的手抢。
