The Coffee Cup 06
All I got back in return was a quiet, forlorn, “I don’t know where I am.” Then the figure was not there anymore. He just vanished.
Terror took over me and I ran out into the lobby where there was light. I did not tell the desk clerk what had happened as I knew that would make me look really stupid. I finally got myself composed and decided that I had to go back in the dining room to see what was going on. I turned on the lights and looked over at the table. An almost empty cup of coffee was sitting on it.
That was the last time, however, that I or anyone else ever found a cup left on the table. After that morning, it never happened again. The other busboy never saw the man and I never told anyone what I had experienced. I quit in September when school started. Who the sad man was or why he was in that dining room, I have no idea to this day.
神秘的咖啡杯 06
我得到的只是一句平靜且凄涼的回答.”我也不知道我在哪.”接著那個(gè)身影就不見(jiàn)了.他就這樣消失了.
我嚇呆了,飛快地跑到開(kāi)著燈的大廳里.我沒(méi)有告訴前臺(tái)我看到的一切,因?yàn)槲抑廊绻艺f(shuō)了,他們會(huì)覺(jué)得我很傻.最后我終于鎮(zhèn)定下來(lái),決定要回餐廳看看怎么樣了.我打開(kāi)燈,看了看那張桌子.桌上擺著一個(gè)快要空了的咖啡杯.
但是,自那以后,無(wú)論是我還是別人都沒(méi)有再發(fā)現(xiàn)過(guò)桌上有杯子.那天早上以后,再也沒(méi)有過(guò)了.另外一個(gè)負(fù)責(zé)在周末開(kāi)門(mén)的服務(wù)生從沒(méi)看見(jiàn)過(guò)那個(gè)人,我也不會(huì)告訴任何人我看到的一切.九月份開(kāi)學(xué)后我就辭職了.直到今天我也不知道,那個(gè)傷心人到底是誰(shuí),他為什么會(huì)在餐廳呢.
