二十年后

短篇小说《二十年后》以纽约一个寒冷漆黑的夜晚为背景。大部分人已经下班回家，城市的这个角落静悄悄的。一名正在该地区巡逻的警察看到一个男人站在商店外面。警察走近男人，发现他的脸上有一道伤疤。他们开始聊天，男人开始讲述自己的故事。

“二十年前的今晚，”男人说，“我和吉米·韦尔斯——我最好的朋友，也是这世上最棒的小伙子——在这儿的‘乔老大’布雷迪餐厅吃饭。我们俩在纽约一起长大，就像亲兄弟一样。那时我十八岁，吉米二十岁。第二天一早我就要去西部赚大钱了。可你没法让吉米走出纽约，他觉得地球上只有(纽约)这么一个地方。反正，那天晚上我们约定，不管日后各自情况如何，不管距离多远，都要在二十年后的同一天、同一时间在这儿再聚。我们当时觉得，不管要做什么，二十年的时间足够自己找到出路、挣到钱。”

“听起来挺有意思，”警察说。“但我觉得，你们这两次见面间隔太久了。你离开后，没有收到过你朋友的消息吗？”

“嗯，不是的。我们联系过一段时间，”男人说。“但是一两年后，我们彼此失去了联系。你知道，我西部的生意很大，我不停地四处奔波、忙东忙西。但是我知道，只要吉米还活着，他就会来这儿和我见面，因为他一直是这世界上最真诚、最可靠的老伙计。他绝对不会忘记我们的约定。今晚，我从千里之外赶来站在这扇门前，只要我的老朋友出现，这一切就都是值得的。”
