短篇小說 <An Odyssey of Thought - the Rise and Fall>

Becky walks with light foot towards a local grocery store. And, she does look in good feather, all the time. With straightened back and braced shoulders, she knows exactly how to make a girl look charming and hearty in gait. When passing by Summerhay, a steak house which is a popular rendezvous for young lovers, she slows down a little bit and feels that cloud, that same cloud, start to enshroud her heart again…….

“Enshroud, shroud,” She murmurs to herself:”what a murky word came up to my mind?” She knows what the shroud is. Having been working in hospital for more than four years as a nurse, Becky has seen so many patients sliding down to the end of their lives and giving up. Then, she forgets how many times already, when they died she has to wrap up their bodies with shroud, a large piece of plastic cloth. But now, “enshroud” is the only word she could find to express that desperate feeling, which is she had never had before: breathless, helpless, mirthless, and hopeless.

Everybody, everybody around her believes Becky’s still the same, nothing change in her at all! She smiles like sunshine as always and talks like birds’ chirping as usual! No one has even noticed or sensed or smelled anything odd on her. Poor Becky, she’s been trying to hide that bitterest bitterness so hard for a while. But she knows, there is one, He must know – her Lord.

Taking a deep, deep breath, she starts to pray silently, in her heart. She’s unable to find any listeners in this world to pour her heart out; Lord is the only one she can speak to now. Dear Lord, please help me out. I’ve been praying for the same thing for months. You’ve been walking with me through so many hardships. I don’t believe you’ll leave me alone this time! Look at me now: smiling at public, sad alone; being sunshine offline but going bananas online. I wasn’t like this before! Lord, bring me back to what I was, help me to rid myself from this shackle and free me out back to brightness!

“老婆,洗臉!”老公的一聲吼把沉浸在寫作中的老婆喚醒。

老婆怏怏地收起筆去刷牙,老公也跟著搶sink。“你瞪著我幹嘛?”老公嘴裏叼著牙刷,臉上粘著牙膏沫,斜了斜了地挑釁。

“嗯……沒想到用英文寫點東西也是蠻有趣的嘛!”老婆的思緒還沒從剛才緩過來。

“Hia~Hia~Hia~”老公狂笑,左手扶在老婆的背上笑的上氣不接下氣:“文學青年!文學青年啊!老婆,你知不知道現在‘文學青年‘可是個貶義詞?哈哈哈~”

“……”不知道為什麽,盡管被嘲笑,老婆的心情竟然一下子好了許多。洗好臉,邊擦邊看著鏡子裏的Becky,嗯,今晚怎麽臉色有點發白?不過,心情好些了,可以睡覺了。

“老公,我就差一個結尾了,再給我半小時好麽?寫完我就能睡的更好了!”

“不行,現在就休息,淩晨4點再起來接著寫不就完了麽?你不最近總是淩晨4點就醒麽?”

好吧……Becky心裏想,我的主啊,你聽到我的禱告了麽?!

晚安!

哦,對了,我的神啊,禰不會是想通過這樣的經曆逼我練習英語寫作吧?阿門!
