记忆总是被一种独特的光温暖着

  常常在夜里,两个人说笑着走在回家的路上。当时并不觉得怎样,而今回想起来却觉得很开心。然而,那样的日子终于还是结束了,当分别来临的时候,想起来的好像都是些快乐的事情。记忆总是被一种独特的光温暖着。我想,当我走向另一个世界的时候,能够带去的,不是我的肉体,也不是我的存款,而是这些温暖的回忆吧。如果能够拥有数百个这样的记忆,及时属于我的那个世界消失了也没什么。曾经在各种各样的地方生活过,有各种各样记忆的珠玉,只有我才能把这些记忆的珠玉串联起来,做成一条只属于我自己的项链。…

他从本质上真的就是一个好人

  有意思的是,在那之前,我对他的人格从来没有过任何兴趣,然而那天看到他那副痛苦为难实在无法开口的样子,不知怎么,竟有点儿喜欢上他了。过去,我见过当有的老客户以味道不好为由,要中止和他们店的合同时,他据理力争的样子。现在他这副为难的样子让我知道,这件事,对他来说真的是一个意外,是他的人生观中绝对无法允许自己这样去做的一个意外。每个人虽然都有这样或那样的缺点,然而,看到眼前他那为难的样子,我一下子明白了,当初他收留我的目的,既不是我这个人本身,也不是什么窗式冷气空调,而是,他从本质上真的就是一个好人。…

这种恃宠撒娇的欲念

  那时我还是个孩子,而且是寄人篱下。在姨妈姨夫不在家的时候,我克制着不让自己使用家里的电话。因为我知道,如果在一件事上放任自己的话,那么这种恃宠撒娇的欲念就会冲破身体,不断释放出来,在被其吞噬的同时,我也会失去自己全部珍而重之的东西。那时,虽然我还小,但已经懂得这个道理。…

大概就属于这样的情形吧

  常常有这样的时候,无论多么不可思议的事,一旦融入过于平淡的日常生活,也会觉得无足轻重,甚至懒得去多想。比如,一边看电视,一边随意地用扑克牌算卦,几次总是出现同一张牌;或者散步的时候,接连三次看到破碎的镜子。大概就属于这样的情形吧。…

Rabbits Don't Climb Trees

  Robin picked up the "climb tree" card and put it at the top of the scale.   "It's fun to climb trees, but I don't want to do it all alone. Do you want to climb with me?" asked Robin.   The rabbit looked scared and replied, "Ooh... you…

Old Blanket

  When I was at home, I wrapped myself in a blanket of my own words and sounds. I called it my old blanket.   My blanket was warm. It was soft. It covered me all over. It made me feel safe. Sometimes I didn't want to go out. I wanted to stay…

They were Beautiful

  Flying at over one mile per hour, they finally broke through a blackberry bush and came into a clearing. The ground was covered in ferns and long grass. Trees grew beside a huge pond, and the water was still and reflected the moon.   They…

An Average Mosquito

  When the driver's window opened, Corrina flew into the night, higher and higher. She made a high-pitched whine as she headed toward the nearest trees. She was aiming for a constellation of stars that she recognized from home.   She felt something…
