  读故事

  He was a warrior on the run and the warden had a warrant for his arrest. Always wayward since his youth,he was now weary of the web that he was entangled in and tired of all the warfare.He had to find a way to ward off his pursuer and find a watertight explanation to get out of the trouble he was in.

  He just wanted to take care of his child. He did not want the child to become a ward of the state in his absence. He reached into his wallet and looked for the picture of her. He threw away a warranty for the television he had recently purchased and reached down to pick up the walnut that fell out of his pocket that she had given him last year.It was like he was in a time warp as he remembered those happy days.

  But then the lights began to flicker in the warehouse he was hiding.The watts of the bulb he had purchased were too low, however,and he was wary of bumping into the wares in the dim light.But he had acquired a new wardrobe and that could be a watershed event in his life.Maybe the warden wouldn't recognize him dressed in fancy clothes?

  He had to try to get back to his child and not waver as he searched for a means to make up for his crimes. It was time to turn his life around. He left the warehouse then and headed back to where he had come from.Back to where it had all started.

  他是一个逃跑中的武士,检察官手上有他的逮捕令。自年轻时候起他就总是很任性,现在他已经厌倦那张套住他的网,讨厌所有的战争。他得想办法避开追捕他的人并找到一套无懈可击的解释使自己摆脱麻烦。

  他只想照料他的孩子。他不想让孩子在他不在的时候成为国家的受监护人。他伸手到皮夹子里去找她的照片。他把一张最近购买电视机的保修单扔掉,接着又弯腰去捡从口袋里掉出来的核桃,那是去年她送给他的。想起那些幸福的日子,他好像经历着一个时代扭曲。

  可是就在这时,他藏身的仓库里开始灯光闪烁。他买的灯泡瓦数太低,昏暗中他得小心以免撞到货物。不过他找到了一件新的衣柜,这可能会成为他生命中的一个转折点。也许穿着化装服看守人就认不出他来啦?

  他得想办法回到孩子身边去,想办法将功赎罪,不能有丝毫的犹豫。是complete改变他的生活的时候了。他离开仓库朝着他来的方向走去。他要回到所有这一切开始的地方。
