The Vimeo link had auto-generated English subtitles that were not too bad. Still, I did many many additions and corrections to the dialog and timing.

I was pleasantly surprised by the apparent interest here in the original short story. I don't read much myself anymore, but I was able to do 13 pages. It was made easier because I have long been an admirer of the short stories of Joyce Carol Oates.

I sought out the story when fixing the subtitle specifically because there were 2 or 3 unclear lines. Much of the dialog is taken directly from the story, so I was happy to discover that I had figured out correctly so much of the quiet, muttered, or breathless dialog that had been omitted from the original autosubs.

IMHO all 3 film versions of the story have the delightful advantage that you get to SEE the young girls playing the lead character. The original written version is from her point of view so you get more deeply into her head, so to speak.
