A caption to love
When thecaravan captain capturedLucy he had no idea that she would soon become the topcandidateto be his wife. She was thecasualtyof a small battle overcargothat he had had at the last town. He had killed those who had fought with him,carvingthem up into little pieces to be fed to thecarnivoresthat always followed his train.Castinghis eyes to the horizon he had seen them coming already. When he looked back he noticed the former grocery store cashier hiding behind a pile ofcanes. He pulled out hiscanteento offer her water. When she came out to accept he grabbed her. She had been hiscaptiveever since.
As they rode away he watched the animals eat the meat of the dead. Some, in their hunger for meat, evencannibalizedsome of their own. They werecapableof anything, the captain thought, just as I am. Hecataloguedthis thought in his head like an entry in acapsuleto be viewed at another time. The caption he placed in his head under this thought was, 'animals with unlimitedcapacity'.
Then he looked at Lucy. She was beautiful and over the last several weeks of traveling across the desert he saw that she had a trulycarefreespirit. This attracted him and hecanceledhis ownership of her to make him his wife. Lucy loved him in return. The captain's caption for Lucy was "capacity to forgive and love her captor." It was the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

给爱加个说明
车队队长俘虏露西的时候他可不知道这位姑娘很快会成为队长妻子的最佳人选。在上一个城镇，他为货物的事与别人发生了一场小小的冲突，露西则是当时的受害者。他把反抗的人都杀了，把他们切成小块，喂了那些总是跟在他们火车后面的食肉动物。放眼向地平线望去，他看到他们已经来了。回头一看，他发现杂货店原来那个收银员躲在一堆藤条后面。他拿出水壶给她水喝，她出来接水壶时却被他一把抓住。从那以后露西就成了他的俘虏。
骑马离开时，他看到食肉动物正在吃死者身上的肉。由于太想吃肉了，有些动物甚至吃掉了一些自己的同类。它们可真是无所不能，队长心想，就像我一样。他把这个想法记在了脑子里，就像是一条以后再看的要点。他在脑子里给这个想法写下的说明是：“能力无限的动物。”
然后他看了看露西。她很美，经过过去几个星期的沙漠旅行，他发现她真的是无忧无虑。这一点儿吸引了他，于是他取消了自己对她的主人身份，娶她为妻。露西同样也爱着队长。从长对露西的说明是“宽恕及热爱俘获者的能力”。一段美满的姻缘从此开始了。
