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歲的單身女性阿曼達•P去美國出差回到倫敦。她在紐約呆了10天。她一個人住。到了家門口,她放下箱子,把鑰匙插進門鎖,這時,一個念頭冒了出來。「我想像著——就像在看電影一樣:轉動鑰匙會觸發起爆器,把整個房子爆飛,門板脫開絞鏈砸向我,當場把我殺死。我想像恐怖分子躲在我屋子裏,精心地佈置了一枚炸彈,要殺我。我爲什麼會有這麼瘋狂的想法呢?」
