标题: 《The Five Day Nightmare 》作者:- Fredric Brown【EPUB】
THE FIVE DAY NIGHTMARE Copyright, ??, 1962 by Fredric Brown Tower Books paperback edition published by arrangement with E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc. All Rights Reserved Printed in U.S.A. Chapter One Sitting there stunned, reading and rereading the kid-naper's ransom note in my own typewriter, all I could think of at first was, Oh God, oh God, why did this have to happen now, now when Ellen and I were in the midst of the worst quarrel we'd had in five years of marriage, now when, if I never saw her again alive I'd never be able to apologize for the horrible things I'd said to her at breakfast. Of course she'd said equivalently horrible things to me. Besides, I still thought I was in the right, but . . . That didn't matter now. Nothing mattered but getting her back, alive. The note was on a sheet of my own stationery. It read: IF YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR WIFE ALIVE AGAIN YOU HAVE FIVE DAYS TO RAISE TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND. DOLLARS IN UNMARKED??BILLS NOT OVER HUNDREDS. STAY HOME WEDNESDAY NIGHT ALONE??AND YOU WILL RE-CEIVE INSTRUCTIONS ON DELIVERY. IF YOU GO TO??THE POLICE YOUR WIFE WILL BE KILLED, IF NOT, SHE WILL BERETURNED UNHARMED. YOU MAY CHECK WITH ARTHUR J. SEARS ON??ONE POINT, RANDOLPH EARLY I ON THE OTHER
