[00:13.35]Incident in Room 217
[00:21.51]217房事件
[00:34.25]The incident itself happened to me
[00:36.56]the spring semester of 1993
[00:40.00]while I was a student at the University of Wyoming.
[00:44.68]At the time I was living in Crane Hall,
[00:47.33]second floor, room #217.
[00:50.80]I had only occupied this room
[00:52.95]since the beginning of the semester in mid-January.
[00:57.48]The room itself was small,
[00:59.47]constructed of red brick
[01:01.43]and cinderblock with a whole wall of windows facing west.
[01:07.00]Throw a rug on the floor hang a few posters
[01:10.38]and you have any dorm room in America.
[01:13.93]The atmosphere was dull at best
[01:16.16]and I actually inhabited¹ the room
[01:18.41]for the better part of the semester without incident
[01:21.55]until two weeks before finals.
[01:24.58]I was lying on my back asleep
[01:27.06]when I felt two fingers being dragged
[01:29.69]from my chin down my throat and across my collarbone.
[01:34.36]The pressure was enough
[01:35.66]that the fingernails were painfully scratching me.
[01:39.44]The moment I woke up the hand pulled away.
[01:42.85]Because the windows where covered by blinds
[01:46.12]that never kept out the light
[01:48.16]from the street lights the room was pretty well lit.
[01:52.20]For one moment I just lay there
[01:54.37]staring at the ceiling tiles² thinking I was dreaming.
[01:59.02]Then I began to look around me,
[02:01.88]from the wall at the foot of my bed,
[02:04.27]to the windows that denied me enough darkness
[02:07.45]to sleep properly,
[02:09.21]to the strange man on my left
[02:11.06]who was kneeling next to my bed.
