blog 5 - One man's life

“Get up! You are always very lazy!” said by his mother. “you are 30 years old, but still living with us! No money, no house, no girlfriend, and even no boyfriend!!!”

          Every day’s morning, he woke up with his mother’s hoots. He was a good motor mechanic, and actually he was not lazy. He could use various tools such as pliers, spanner, and screwdriver to fix any brand of car. However, due to the bad economy, fewer people own the cars, especially mid-range and premium cars. His salary has fallen by more than 75 percent in these years. He had to move out his apartment and lived with his parents again.

          One day, when he was waiting the customers in his boss’s garage with depressed emotion as before, a mysterious man who wore sunglasses, baseball cap, and scarf came to the garage. He drove a cheap and old car, and the car couldn’t move any more. He was excited, because no car has been to here three days. Though it is a cheap car, one car is better than nothing. He fixed 4 hours. After he finished, the car’s owner gave him a note when he checked out. Then the man left.

Moreover, the kidnappers decided to kill him. When the gun aimed his head, he remembered the imprecations. He didn’t have any other choice, he read the imprecations…

          “Where am I? Who am I?” he asked himself. He took sword and shield and wore the helmet, and he heard horse's hoofs and slogans. “I am a general! I am in the ancient Rome” he was excited. Nevertheless, he realized a serious problem that he didn’t have the horse and soldiers, and the dead bodies that dressed same armors lay around him. In addition, the worst of all, he was surrounded by the enemy. Suddenly, one arrow past through his body…

          Regretting, regretting, and regretting. “I want to go back. I just want to be a common mechanic…” he thought with tears…
