    by Rebecca Moreno The TV signal came back, and the fight continued. In this round, Tyson was hit by a combination of punches and staggered. Fortunately, the ropes saved him from falling. Just then, the round ended. The stranger stood up, looked at the clock on the wall again, and said, "Now you can call the police. But it's 9:20 now, which means I've been here for an hour and ten minutes. If you call the police now, aren't you suspected of harboring a murderer? Think about it. A murderer has been in your house for so long,…

    by Rebecca Moreno My attention was fully focused on the TV. Seeing that I didn't say a word, the stranger spoke again, "Don't ignore me. Maybe I can make you rich. I've changed my mind. I don't want to run anymore. I'm fed up with this terrifying life on the run. The police in our city have offered a $10,000 reward for my capture. After you've fed me, you can call the police and get that $10,000. You must have a phone here. Just press a few numbers and you're done." I gradually remembered. This man in front of me was the…

    by Rebecca Moreno I had my dinner early, boiled some water, brewed a pot of tea, and comfortably settled on the sofa, waiting for the start of this battle of the century. Just then, someone knocked on the door. This made me frustrated. I didn't welcome anyone at this time. But the knocking continued, so I reluctantly went to open the door. It was a stranger. Without my permission, he walked in like an old friend. I asked, "Who are you looking for? You've got the wrong door. I don't know you. Please leave." The man didn't…

    by Rebecca Moreno It was supposed to be an ordinary night. There was no power outage, no water cut, no clogged sewer pipes, no quarrels among neighbors, and no lunar eclipse, meteor shower, or sudden drop in temperature. If there was any difference from the past, it was that my wife and son were not at home, making the night even colder and less likely to have any stories. To my relief, there was going to be a highly anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield on TV that night. This was a long -…

    by Samantha Whitaker At this time, Mr. Blake spoke with a straight face. "Anderson, do you know that something unpleasant has happened in the company?" "What a pity," Anderson gave Pfir a sympathetic glance, then turned to the boss and said, "Mr. Blake, can you tell me what it is?" Mr. Blake gave a cold snort. Pfir beside him also timidly spoke up. "Anderson, you surely know about this. I think you can handle it well." As he said this, Pfir even covered his face and sobbed. Mr. Blake walked over and gently patted Pfir on…

    by Samantha Whitaker One day, Anderson was having lunch in a small street-side restaurant not far from the company. Suddenly, a man came over with a tray. It was Pfir, a colleague from the company. Pfir greeted Anderson and sat down opposite him. After taking a few bites of his food, he immediately showed a melancholy expression on his face. Anderson thought he shouldn't ignore the other person, so he casually asked, "What's wrong with you? You don't look happy." Pfir hesitated for a moment, leaned closer to Anderson, and…
