Where was I? The room was dark and quiet. My head hurt
really badly. I shouted, “Help! Help! Can anybody help me?”
After a while somebody came in. The room was so dark
that I couldn’t see his face clearly. The man turned on the light and said with
a sharp voice, “Ah! Sweetie, do you still remember who I am?” I was shocked.
Oh, my God! I cried, “You are Michael Zey, the man I charged with murder! Why
are you here? You should be in prison!”
“You never thought about the result of charging a gang(犯罪团伙) leader, did you? Because of you, I was in prison for
15 years. You ruined my life!” His voice was very cold. My face was pale with
fear. He was here to take revenge(报复)!
“Please, let me go! Don't hurt me! Please!” I asked
him. “Dr. Calment, you are smart enough to know it is impossible. Now, I
give you two choices. One is shooting your head. It is the quickest way. The
other is cremation(火葬). Your husband and you will be together
forever. It’s quite romantic. Don't you think?” He spoke angrily. “What? My
husband? He is innocent!” I shouted at him.
Suddenly, he took hold of my head and said, “You will
pay for what you have done to me.” He took out a gun from his bag.
“Help! Help! Can anybody help me?”
