Abakutholile kokubili kuyaxaka futhi kuyethusa, nakho kuyiqiniso ngokusobala. Nakhu okukodwa okuvela kujenali yakhe njengoba echaza ubukhona obungabonakali obuvela emathunjini omhlaba:

“Kube sengathi ibutho lamademoni selizongihlasela ngemuva. Ngizwe sengathi insindiso yami ilele phambi kwami ​​ebumnyameni, kanti uLusifa ubesemuva kwami, ezama ukungivikela ekuphepheni. ”

I- "Ted the Caver" ibhale ngohambo lwakhe lokuhlanya futhi wayenza ukuthi itholakale ukuze kufundwe i-inthanethi. Indaba inganekwane ethandwayo ebikwe emakhasini e- amadispa.me, isiza esikhuthaza ababhali ukuthi bathumele izindaba zabo ezesabekayo, ziyiqiniso noma cha. Okwenza le ndaba ikholwe kancane ukuthi umbhali udale iphephabhuku elibanzi mayelana nokuhlangenwe nakho kwakhe, okuphelele ngezithombe.

The Journal

Ijenali yakhe yinde, kepha ubhala isinyathelo ngasinye sohambo nezithombe nezincazelo. Idayari ka “Ted” inde futhi iyachaza, kepha yilokhu kunaka imininingwane okunganikeza ikhefu lokufunda elingabaza kakhulu.

Njengoba uTed esho ekuqaleni kwephephabhuku lakhe, “Uma ucabanga ukuthi le micimbi izwakala ingekho, ngiyavuma. Nami bengizofinyelela esiphethweni esifanayo ukube angizange ngibabone. ”

Ungafunda wonke umagazini wakhe lapha (zonke izithombe nokufakiwe kwalesi sihloko kuthathwe lapho), kepha xwayiswa, isayithi linikwe amandla yi- "Angelfire" insiza yamahhala yokubamba iwebhusayithi ekuhlasela nge-popup njalo lapho uchofoza ekhasini elilandelayo. Kodwa okucasulayo kungokwesikhashana uma ushaye "isikhangiso esiseduze".

Uma ukhetha ukufunda iphephabhuku likaTed, kungakuthatha isikhashana ukuthola yonke le nto. Ngezansi isifinyezo salokho ekuqukethe, kepha lonke iphephabhuku kufanele likufunde uma nje ufuna ukwethemba le ndaba exakile.

NgoFebhuwari, 2001 abangani uTed no-B (amagama agodliwe ubumfihlo), abahloli bamazwe abanentshisekelo, behlela emhumeni benethemba lokuyihlola okokugcina. UTed wayekhangwe yimbobo ekujuleni kwezindima zayo futhi wazibuza ukuthi ngabe ikhona yini indlela yokungena kuyo. Usayizi wokuvulwa wawungangesisi kuphela, kepha laba babezimisele ukugqobhoza kulo bese bethola izimfihlakalo ezingaphansi komhlaba.

Ukuvulwa

Ngenkathi behleli eceleni kwembobo, becabanga ukuthi yimaphi amathuluzi abazowadinga, bezwa imisindo engajwayelekile evela ngaphakathi, umoya nokuduma ukuthi iTed izwakalisa imiphumela yemvelo yemisindo emincane kanye nomgwaqo odlulayo oseduze. Lapho iqembu selinqume ukuthi lizodinga ini ukuze liqhubeke nokumba, lahamba, lilangazelela ukubuya liyoqala umsebenzi.

Cishe esikhathini esingangenyanga kamuva, behlome nge-drill ne-sledgehammers engenazintambo, la madoda amabili abuyisa “Umhume Womfihlakalo” futhi aqala umsebenzi onzima wokwenza i-crawlspace yokuhlala edwaleni. Umsebenzi wabo uqhubeke izinyanga kwenzeka okungajwayelekile kwenzeka zonke izinyathelo zendlela. Ngesinye isikhathi, uTed uyachaza, uB wayehleli eduze nembobo futhi uthi wezwa into engajwayelekile, “Uthe wafunga ukuthi wezwa umsindo ongajwayelekile ophuma emgodini. Uthe kuzwakala njengedwala lishibilika edwaleni. Uhlobo lomsindo wokugaya. ”

Ukumba Ngokuqhubekayo

Emasontweni azayo la madoda ashaye izando, akhetha futhi ambiwa ngokuqhubekayo embobeni, ngethemba lokulenza libanzi ngokwanele ukuthi lidlule. Kepha ngenkathi benza imisindo engajwayelekile baqhubeka nokugqekeza ubumnyama. UTed uthi kunesikhathi esisodwa lapho kuzwakala ukukhala okukhulu nangaphandle kwesikebhe sakhe:

“Bekunomsindo. Ngangiyizwa ngenxa yomsindo webhola, noma ngabe nganginezikhonkwane zezindlebe. Ekuqaleni ngangicabanga ukuthi yibhilidi nje elenza umsebenzi walo emhumeni. Kuhlala kukhononda ngokuhayiza nokuhhewula njengoba sikuphoqa ukuthi singene odongeni. Kodwa lokhu kwakuhlukile. Kungithathe imizuzwana eminingana egcwele ukuqonda ukuthi lokhu bekuvela ngaphakathi emgodini, hhayi kancane. Ngiyekile ukubhola futhi ngakhipha izindlebe ezindlebeni zami ngesikhathi esifanele ukuzwa isimemezelo esibi kunazo zonke engake ngazizwa siphuma singena ebumnyameni bomhume. ”

Ekugcineni ngokusebenzisa amasonto okusebenza kanzima, la madoda akwazi ukudala umgodi omkhulu ngokwanele ukuthi uTed angene kuwo. Yize ukungqubuzana kwakhe okuqhubekayo edwaleni elibi kwakukhathaza, ekugcineni uTed wakwazi ukucindezela emgodini futhi wangena ephaseji elincane eliholela kwalasha abakubiza ngokuthi "Umhume Ongaqondakali".

UTed uhlole iziteshi ezinamadwala nokuvuleka kwalo mhubhe omusha otholakele, wakwazi nokuma kwezinye izindawo, kepha ekugcineni wathola ukuthi ubengeyena owokuqala:

“Ngasohlangothini lwesobunxele lwegumbi elisodongeni cishe ngamehlo ngathola okwakubonakala kuyi-hieroglyphics! Kwakungumdwebo owodwa ocishe ubonakale uyingxenye yombala wedwala. Kubukeke njengokumelwa kwabantu okungcolile, abemi ngezansi kophawu. Ngangidonswa amanzi! Lokhu kusho ukuthi bekufanele kube nomunye umnyango kulo mgede. ”

Uphawu

Ngemuva kokutholwa kwakhe, uTed waphuma emgedeni waqinisekisa ukuthi wayenobufakazi obanele bezithombe ukukhombisa uB owayelinde ngesineke emnyango ukuze umngani wakhe avuke. Izithombe eziningi zadlula, ngaphandle kwalezo ezazichaza kabanzi igumbi ayelitholile.

Efuna ukwabelana ngokutholakele kwakhe, uTed wafuna umuntu ozokwazi ukuqinisekisa ukutholwa kwakhe noB ngokuzikhuphula ngale ndima uqobo. Lowo muntu kwakungu "Joe". Lapho, "uJoe" wakwazi ukugibela ngembobo futhi wanyamalala ebumnyameni bomhume, kodwa wavele ngokushesha wathula ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwakhe emhubheni. UTed uchaza indlela uJoe aziphethe ngayo:

UTed uyabhala: “Lapho sesiphumile ngaphandle komhume, ngabona ukuthi sizokwazi ukuthola okwengeziwe kuJoe. Kodwa lapho efika ekukhuphukeni kokugcina wavele waqaqa intambo waqonda elolini. Ekukhanyeni kwemini wayebukeka kabi kakhulu kunasemgedeni. Mina no-B saqoqa intambo negiya lethu saqonda elolini. UJoe uthe akafuni ukulala ngoba uzizwe kabi (futhi samkholwa), ngakho-ke saqonda ekhaya. Asikwazanga ukuthola olunye ulwazi kuJoe. Wavele wagqolozela phambili. Wayethuthumela okweqabunga, wathi akabandi. Ngesikhathi sizama ukumbuza, izimpendulo zakhe bezimfishane. Ngabuza ukuthi ngabe uyayibona i-hieroglyphics. "Cha". Usizwile simemeza? "Cha". Ngabe walibona idwala eliyindilinga? "Cha". Ngabe uwabonile amakristalu "Cha". Uthe ungene kancane nje wabe eseqala ukugula. Okuthile kwakuyinhlanzi ngezimpendulo zakhe. Wayezoba nayo wayenakho ukubona amakristalu uma engena ngokwanele emhumeni angakuzwanga simemeza. Kodwa kungani engeke achaze kabanzi? ”

UTed ekugcineni wayezobuyela emhumeni emasontweni amabili kamuva bese ezwa nohambo lwakhe olwesabekayo ngalo. Kwijenali yakhe uyachaza ukuthi ngenkathi edabula emaphaseji aqinile emihubheni wezwa "umsindo okhukhumezayo". UTed uchaza umsindo, “Wawumkhulu. Kwakuseduze! Yayivela egumbini elikhulu engangisanda kulishiya. Ngangihamba ngamasondo ukuze ngibhekane nalokho okwake kwabanga lowo msindo. Lapho ngenza lokho ngaphelelwa ubukhona bengqondo futhi ngasukuma ngasikhathi sinye. Hleka! Isigqoko sami sokuzivikela sishayeka ophahleni lwendlela. Ukukhanya kwami ​​kwagqashuka ngabe sengigqitshwa ebumnyameni obukhulu. ”

Ngalesi sibhicongo, uTed uchaza ukuthi iphunga elifile laqala ukugcwalisa amahholo omhume, “Kwakunuka sengathi kunomswakama, kuyabola, kuyabanda, kuyabola, KUFA!” UTed waqala ukusebenzisa izinti zomhlaba eziluhlaza ukukhanyisa indlela yakhe emhubheni futhi wathola ukuthi amatshe amakhulu asuswe ezindaweni zawo zangaphambili, aveza ezinye iziteshi ekujuleni kwephaseji. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi nangomzamo uTed wokugcina waqala ukubuyela ekukhanyeni kosuku, kodwa hhayi ngaphandle kokuzwa imisindo elandela ngemuva kwakhe nokuthile okuzama ukudonsa izintambo zakhe ebumnyameni.

Ethuthumela futhi esezinhlungwini, uTed wavela phansi futhi ngolaka wasika izintambo zomzimba kaTed. Bahamba baya ekhaya bathule futhi uTed uzoba namaphupho amabi kungekudala. La maphupho ayengamphoqa ukuthi abuyele emgedeni, esho kwijenali yakhe ukuthi "ukuvalwa" yilokho akudingayo.
