NARRATOR:My name is Mary Alice Young. When you read this morning's paper, you may come across an article about the unusual day I had last week. Normally, there's never anything newsworthy about my life. That all changed last Thursday. Of course everything seemed as normal at first. I made my breakfast for my family. 

MARY ALICE:Here we are. Waffles

NARRATOR: I performed my chores. 

NARRATOR: I completed my projects. 

NARRATOR: I ran my errands

NARRATOR: In truth, I spent the day as I spend every other day - quietly polishing the routine of my life until it gleamed with perfection. 

NARRATOR: That's why it was so astonishing when I decided¹ to go to my hallway closet to retrieve² a revolver that had never been used. 

我叫玛丽·艾莉丝·杨，如果你看了今天的早报，可能会读到一篇报道，有关我上周不寻常的一天。通常，我的生活没有任何新闻价值。然而，直到上周四，一切都改变了。起初每件事情都显得很平常。我为家人准备早餐、做家务、完成手工制作、取回干洗的衣服。事实上  这天太平常不过了 平静地打理着家里的一切 直至完美。

这就是为什么 当我走向走廊的壁橱 拿出从没用过的左轮手枪时 会如此令人震惊了
