18.The judge(法官) thought Geoffrey Payne killed his wife.Now for the first time Payne wrote to a magazine from the prison about what happened on the night of 13October 1999.
I had to stay late at the hospital that night to do an operation.I finally left at about 11p.m..I drove home slowly because the wind was blowing and it was raining heavily.I was running into our road when a man suddenly ran in front of my car.I almost hit him but I stopped just in time.I was scared and the man looked scared,too.I got out of the car but he ran away before I could ask if he was all right.It was very strange.
When I got home,the lights were on but it was very quiet.I called to my wife but there was no answer.Then I remembered that she was out at a concert.
I was still very unhappy about what happened on the road,so I made myself a drink.Then I went upstairs to have a bath.I saw that the window in the bedroom was open.This was strange because my wife always locked the doors and windows before she went out.She was afraid of burglars.When I went to close it,I found Ellen.She was lying on the floor.There was blood everywhere.I rushed over for her pulse but she was dead.I was so scared.I sat on the floor beside her body without knowing what to do.
The next thing I knew was that the sky was getting light.I can't remember a thing about that night.In the morning I phoned the police.They arrived half an hour after I phoned them.But it seemed like hours.During that time I tried hard to remember anything I could about the night before.I couldn't stop thinking about the man in the road.What was he doing at that time of night in our quiet neighborhood?

分析 文章大意:法官认为Geoffrey Payne杀了他的妻子.现在第一次派恩在监狱给一本杂志写了在199910月13日夜发生了什么.
我不得不熬夜到医院做手术.我晚上11点才离开.因为风在吹,雨下得很大我开车回家很慢,我跑在路上时,一名男子突然跑在我车的前面,我差点撞到他,但在我停了下来的时间里.我很害怕,男人看了太害怕.我下了车,但在我问他是否没事之前,他就跑掉了.
当我到家的时候,灯亮着,但是很安静,我打电话给我的妻子,但是没人接,我就想起她出去听音乐会了.
我还在为路上发生的事很不开心,所以我自己喝了一杯,然后我就上楼去洗个澡.我看到卧室的窗户是开着的.这很奇怪,因为我的妻子总是在她出门之前关着门窗,她怕小偷.当我去接近它,我找到了爱伦.她躺在地板上,到处都是血,我冲过去,她的脉搏已经没有了,她已经死了.我很害怕.我坐在她旁边的地板上不知道做什么.
接下来我所知道的是,天快亮了.我不记得那天晚上的事,早上我打电话给警察.他们在我打电话后他们半个小时到达,但它像一个小时.那段时间我努力回想昨晚发生的一切,我无法停止思考在路上的那个人.在安静的街区,晚上他在做什么?
