Source text - English I was getting ready to wrap up when a new message appeared in my in-box. If only I had logged off a moment sooner, I could have spared myself for a few more days, weeks, maybe even a month. Would everything have turned out differently? I’ll never know. I scrolled down and saw Neil’s name in the handle. The sight released a small, hot river of panic inside my chest. Suddenly, the room seemed to pixilate into squares of color—brown, red, orange, blue. My heart hammered against the walls of my chest. Frantically, I clawed in my bag for respite. I’d removed my little helpers from immediate procurement—stashing them in a variety of hiding places around the villa, but not in my purse—but was sure a few Valiums still floated around along the bottom seam. Hell, I could always turn the bag inside out and lick it—there was a veritable pharmaceutical cornucopia of drug dust down there. My fingers closed around a couple of brownish-pink tablets in the pocket that houses my favorite MAC lip liner in “Spice” and a few dog-eared tampons. Relieved, I popped them in my mouth dry and swallowed. I, for one, am all for NAFTA: The mud-colored pills from Mexico, which I picked up for cheap while vacationing with Neil in Puerto Vallarta, are every bit as effective as the yellow ones you get stateside. I waited a few minutes while they worked their magic, sending liquid calm sluicing through my veins, then reluctantly clicked on Neil’s message. I don’t know why I reacted so strongly—who knows, maybe I possess more prescience than I give myself credit for.
Translation - Czech Už jsem se chystala všechno zavřít, když se v mé schránce objevila nová zpráva. Kdybych se odhlásila jenom o chvilku dříve, mohla jsem od ní sama sebe ještě pár dnů, týdnů a možná i celý měsíc ušetřit. Vyvinulo by se pak všechno jinak? To se nikdy nedozvím. Sjela jsem kurzorem dolů a spatřila Neilovo jméno. Ten pohled v mé hrudi rozpoutal malou horkou řeku paniky. Najednou se místnost rozpadla na barevné pixely – hnědé, červené, oranžové, modré. Srdce mi tlouklo jak o závod. Freneticky jsem chňapla po své kabelce a hledala úlevu. Své malé pomocníky jsem odstranila z okamžitého dosahu, nacpala jsem je do různých skrýší ve vile, ale ne do kabelky. Ale byla jsem si jistá, že pár tabletek diazepamu se muselo zachytit v podšívce. V nejhorším můžu kabelku převrátit vzhůru nohama a vylízat ji – na dně určitě musí být hojná zásoba farmaceutického prachu. Mé prsty uchopily několik hnědavé růžových tablet v kapsičce, která byla také domovem mé oblíbené konturovací tužky na rty značky MAC a navíc několika ošoupaných tamponů. S úlevou jsem si prášky nasypala do úst a polkla je. Osobně jsem absolutním stoupencem volného obchodu. Tabletky barvy bláta z Mexika, které jsem levně koupila na dovolené v Puerto Vallarta s Neilem, jsou na chlup stejně účinné jako ty žluté, které se koupí ve Státech. Počkala jsem pár minut, než začne působit jejich kouzlo, než vyšlou svůj tekutý klid do mých žil, a pak jsem váhavě klikla na Neilovu zprávu. Nevím, proč mě to tak vzalo. Ale kdoví? Možná mám lepší intuici, než si myslím.
