靈異故事:Alamo Sentry 3(阿拉莫崗哨3)

It wasn't until then that I noticed that he was soaked to the bone in dripping water and we had not a single drop of rain in a month or more. I just shook my head and closed the door behind him. I looked ahead for a spilt second to see if any other tourists were waiting to be picked up on the corner. I turned back and I discovered that Cloud was gone!! I looked behind the bus and saw no one, I was amazed at how fast he had went away. I just shrugged my shoulders and took off done for the day.
A few days later I was reading a book about the Battle of the Alamo when I discovered the most shocking thing I had ever discovered in my life. One of the pages of the book had a list of the names of the 183 defenders of the Alamo, and in the "C" section was the name, Daniel Cloud! When I read this my eyes went wide and I looked across the page and saw that he was only 19 years old when he was killed in the Alamo. He was the one who spotted the Mexicans before they took over the streets of San Antonio in February of 1836, and his post on top of the San Frenando Church where I had picked him up!
From then on I still look for Cloud when I'm passing by the San Frenando Church on my way back to the Alamo, and hopefully I'll pick him up again someday and take him to the Alamo.....
這時我才發(fā)現(xiàn)他已經(jīng)是渾身濕透了，可是，我們可能有一個多月沒見過一滴雨了。我向他搖搖頭表示不用謝，然后關了車門朝前面望了一眼，看看是不是還有人在拐角那等車準備回去。當我再回過頭，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)克勞德已經(jīng)不見了。車上空無一人，我很納悶他怎么走得這么快。我也只是聳聳肩，把最后一班車開回去了。
幾天以后我讀到本介紹阿拉莫戰(zhàn)役的書，發(fā)現(xiàn)一件有生以來最讓我震驚的事情。書里有一頁是守衛(wèi)阿拉莫的183名士兵的名單，“C”字頭的名錄下有一個名字居然是丹尼爾克勞德!我簡直不敢相信自己的眼睛，仔細地讀了那一段以后，我這才知道他那年犧牲在阿拉莫的時候才19歲。他所在的部隊1836年2月阻擊了墨西哥人，那時墨西哥人還沒有攻陷圣安東尼奧。他們當時的陣地是圣費爾南多大教堂，我就是從那里接他上的車。
從那以后，每當我回阿拉莫經(jīng)過圣費爾南多大教堂的時候都要找找克勞德是不是在那，我想有一天能再接他上車，帶他去阿拉莫。
