A cellphone's story
I am a cellphone, the first-generation cellphone. I was born in glory and people's praise. I opened a new page in the world. My first master loved me very much. He carried me wherever he goes. Things change every day. I soon had a replacement, the second generation cellphone. One day, my master left me in a garbage can.
Left glory and praise in the past, I was just a rubbish. I left the garbage can with other rubbish. A truck took us to a big open dump. I was covered by a rotten mouse's body. I was dirty, disgusting and have a terrible smell. More and more rubbish heap on me, finally, I could not see the sunshine. Maybe one day I will decay like the mouse.
I woke up in a girl's scream. "look at this, I found a cellphone!" Smiling happily, she held me and showed off before her friend. This is a dirty girl who is ragged. I was surprised that she knows me. She brought me to her home, a small shabby house. I was broken when my master threw me into the garbage can. The girl tried very hard to fix me. Unfortunately, she failed.
She met a boy with me. Disappointedly, her voice was a little low. "well, I found this in our treasury, I tried to fix it," her voice became lower, "but I failed, I planned to fix it and give you as your birthday present."
After a silence, she gave a slight sign. "But you are smarter than me, and you love to fix these things, I guess you can fix it by yourself."
She handed me to the boy, but he pushed me back. He drawled. "I don't need it. I know you like it, keep it for yourself."
The girl hesitated for a moment, then she lied. "Yeah, I will keep it. But I can't fix it. Will you do it for me?"
The boy saw right through her easily. "I know what you think about, don't try to plant it on me in this way. I will help you fix it, in your home."
The girl nodded with a big smile.
I knew what the girl thought. She still wanted to give me to the boy.
The boy is a better repairman than the girl. He was allured by me, I could found it in his concentration.
One day, they were working on me together. Suddenly, things on the floor were start shaking. Somebody was shouting outside. "Earthquake!"
The boy drew the girl out of the house very quickly. "We need to go to the square!"
The girl stopped suddenly. "Wait a second, I will be back soon." She shook his hand off and ran back to her house.
"Don't!" The boy shouted, try to prevent her. But she had already ran into the house.
The house collapsed in a second.
I was found with the girl by the boy after few days. His hands was broken in the period of open the ruins. They were dirty and blooded. He found a letter for him in the girl's pocket. That's a letter she prepared for his birthday. He opened it with his shivering hands, read.
I heard his cry, overwhelming and heartsick.
He took me back, and fixed me.
I have never been abandoned ever since. Even he become rich, even he has created many smart cellphones, he still has me. He still has her.

i love your story. It was intriguing
ReplyDeleteyou did this all by yourself? you could be an excellent novelist
Yeah, I did this all by myself. I have written over million words in Chinese. It is not so hard for me to weave a story. But it is still very hard to write it in English. Actually, I recomposed one of my Chinese novel and get this story.
