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静且凄凉的回答.”我也不知道我在哪.”接着那个身影就不见了.他就这样消失了.

　　我吓呆了,飞快地跑到开着灯的大厅里.我没有告诉前台我看到的一切,因为我知道如果我说了,他们会觉得我很傻.最后我终于镇定下来,决定要回餐厅看看怎么样了.我打开灯,看了看那张桌子.桌上摆着一个快要空了的咖啡杯.

　　但是,自那以后,无论是我还是别人都没有再发现过桌上有杯子.那天早上以后,再也没有过了.另外一个负责在周末开门的服务生从没看见过那个人,我也不会告诉任何人我看到的一切.九月份开学后我就辞职了.直到今天我也不知道,那个伤心人到底是谁,他为什么会在餐厅呢.
