英语灵异故事-The Church And The Handprint (教堂与掌印) 04

Once Walt was in the car, I took off. We went up about 5 miles to a 7-11, the whole time, Shawn complaining about his shoulder bothering him. We all thought it was from jarring it when he landed on his hands. We got to the 7-11 and he went inside. He came back out about a minute later with a weird¹ look on his face. I asked him what was wrong, and he told me this:

　　"When you took off, Walt and I went and looked around to see what freaked you out. I didn't see anything, but Walt did. When he yelled² 'run', I did. But when I got to the gate area, it felt like something shoved³ me, that's why I fell. I figured I had just lost my balance and being so freaked, just imagined the feeling... Until I got into the bathroom and saw this:"

　　He then pulled his shirt off and there, on his shoulder, was a perfect, red handprint. In a position that could only be put there if someone behind him had shoved him. And no one had appeared to be near him when he had fallen.　　

沃尔特一上来，我就开车。我们驱车去一家五英里外的7-11，期间肖恩一直在抱怨自己的肩膀不舒服。我们以为他是刚才跌倒的时候扭伤了。到7-11后，他走了进去。大概一分钟后，他走出来，脸上表情怪异。我问他怎么回事，他对我说：

　　你走了之后我和沃尔特转到后面去看是什么吓到了你，我什么都没看到，但是沃尔特看到了。他冲着我喊‘快跑’，我照办了。但当我跑到门口时，感觉好像有什么东西推了我一下，我就跌倒了。我以为是自己太害怕产生了幻觉，才失去平衡……直到我刚才进卫生间看到这个。”

　　他把衬衫拉高，我看到在他的肩膀处有一个完整的红色的掌印。这掌印只能是有人在背后推他才可能留下。但他跌倒时，根本没看到他旁边有人。
