生命不可承受之光

九月初，艷陽高照。那天下午我正要離開辦公室之際，接到一通母親的電話。她傷心啜泣，遠在大陸的先生骤逝，要我幫個忙，聯絡她在某年某班的女兒，請她立刻回家去，不過她再三叮嚀，請我不要先透露原因。我帶著沉重的理由出發。

我在教室外請同學把女孩找來，她看起來一派天真，對於母親突如其來的要求感到一頭霧水。我和她走到教官室的路上，陽光亮得令人睜不開眼，她即將面對的噩耗卻是那麼黑暗‧‧‧

﹝註﹞最近自從發現這個法國女生的網站之後，我又開始作我的法國漫畫夢。我開始對於取鏡有些概念，畫漫畫像是在拍電影，每個鏡頭的取捨都可以是研究的主題。這是我的第一幅漫畫，將來我還想做大型故事的發展，各位讀者敬請期待！

Unbearable light of life

Early September. The sunshine was incredibly dazzling. That afternoon when I was about to leave the office, I received a call from a mother. She spoke in an extremely sad weeping tone. Her husband passed away suddenly in Mainland China and she hoped I could find her daughter in class XXX right away. All I had to do was tell her to go home immediately without revealing to her the reason. Wit the heavy task, I set out.

I ran to the building for her class and asked if she was around. Her classmate found her for me. She looked like a free little bird, innocent as ever. She was completely at a loss about her mom's request. However, we went take leave of absence together. On our way, the sun light almost blinded me, especially when I thought of the darkness that was going to devour her...

Note: Since I found this French girl's blog, I have started to dream of French comics again. I've come to have a general idea of how to draw comics. It's like making movies. Every scene is a subject worthy of being studied. This is my first comic strip. I'd like to draw comics on a larger scale in the future. Please give me some time for that...
