At last, she left, laid one shoe on the bridge. She wanted him to know that she had come and also that’s also a way she blamed him implicitly.

Soldiers didn’t need much time to find out the owner. They went to the Thi’s house and brought her to mandarin office. Thi didn’t need to try on the shoe, she at one sprinted to Quoc Hoa, kneeled and hugged him. She cried crying more loudly than even people, his relatives that made people who was in there got much more pained.
One more time no one knew why but Quoc Hoa revived. Slowly and lightly he got again his breathes. His body was warmed by his lover’s body. He woke up and it seemed he just got a sleep he stupidly asked everybody.
“What’s going on here? I think I must be on East bridge. Why am I here?”

144. Cổ tích bóng đêm

Ngày xưa, xưa thật là xưa, khi bóng đêm chiếm toàn bộ trái đất, bóng đêm tự cho mình là độc tôn, là duy nhất. Thời gian dần trôi, bên cạnh bóng đêm còn có ánh sáng mặt trời, ánh sáng của những vì sao le lói. Bóng đêm bây giờ không là duy nhất nữa. Phải chia sẻ khoảng không gian sống cho một kẻ có tên là ánh sáng .  Thế là bóng đêm rất ghét ánh sáng , ghét nhiều đến nỗi , bóng đêm chẳng thèm để ý đến ánh sáng nữa. Hễ đâu có ánh sáng thì bóng đêm quay lưng đi, chẳng cần nhìn làm gì, chẳng cần tiếp xúc với cái luồng sáng chói chang ấy. Bóng đêm là thế, có gì đó cô độc và lạnh lùng, vì muôn loài bây giờ chỉ thích ánh sáng thôi. Muôn loài vui chơi, đùa giỡn, sinh hoạt và lao động cùng ánh sáng. Còn khi bóng đêm đến, muôn loài chỉ muốn ngủ hoặc ngồi nhìn ngắm mà chẳng hề vui đùa với Bóng đêm. Thế là đêm thật buồn, thật cô độc và lạnh lẽo. Từ khi ánh sáng xuất hiện, bóng đêm ghét ánh sáng, hận ánh sáng, giờ đây bóng đêm tuyệt giao với ánh sáng và cũng chả thèm muôn loài. Mặc kệ, bó...
