短篇小说 <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,洗脸!”老公的一声吼把沉浸在写作中的老婆唤醒。

老婆怏怏地收起笔去刷牙,老公也跟着抢sink。“你瞪着我干嘛?”老公嘴里叼着牙刷,脸上粘着牙膏沫,斜了斜了地挑衅。

“嗯……没想到用英文写点东西也是蛮有趣的嘛!”老婆的思绪还没从刚才缓过来。

“Hia~Hia~Hia~”老公狂笑,左手扶在老婆的背上笑的上气不接下气:“文学青年!文学青年啊!老婆,你知不知道现在‘文学青年‘可是个贬义词?哈哈哈~”

“……”不知道为什么,尽管被嘲笑,老婆的心情竟然一下子好了许多。洗好脸,边擦边看着镜子里的Becky,嗯,今晚怎么脸色有点发白?不过,心情好些了,可以睡觉了。

“老公,我就差一个结尾了,再给我半小时好么?写完我就能睡的更好了!”

“不行,现在就休息,凌晨4点再起来接着写不就完了么?你不最近总是凌晨4点就醒么?”

好吧……Becky心里想,我的主啊,你听到我的祷告了么?!

晚安!

哦,对了,我的神啊,祢不会是想通过这样的经历逼我练习英语写作吧?阿门!
