寒流突襲,全城氣溫急降。政府開放庇護中心予露宿者借宿,中心裡霎時間熱鬧非常,杯麵香飄,被褥溫軟。414Please respect copyright.PENANAiqxQhZNEjb
414Please respect copyright.PENANAOX9CPG4oYR
阿明在門口猶豫一秒,瞬間打消內進念頭——有通輯令在身,不宜冒險。開步走在蕭蕭寒風中,思索是夜該要到哪兒度過。414Please respect copyright.PENANAuE4E4kLugj

中秋已過,聖誕燈飾隱伏大廈外牆,靜待一個月後亮起一剎,花花綠綠,琳瑯滿目。414Please respect copyright.PENANAZh0wVk4r78
414Please respect copyright.PENANA2qbL2CFd0T
阿明曾經喜歡聖誕,曾經相信聖誕老人存在,曾經期待聖誕襪裝滿禮物,曾經騎在爸爸肩膊摘下聖誕樹頂的星星……曾經的自己是個千依百順的乖孩子,與家人關係很好,直至他長大。414Please respect copyright.PENANAaqz3te2PPh
414Please respect copyright.PENANA7hUCc8hp1Y
細雨紛紛,人欲斷魂。阿明驀地抬頭望向肅殺天空深處,確認天外依然沒有天。414Please respect copyright.PENANAUa9B1dQxvR
414Please respect copyright.PENANAhokdjaDB6h
但他意外瞄見一扇半開的窗。414Please respect copyright.PENANA3poAMeWSlj
414Please respect copyright.PENANA1OAHVPMVNo
旁邊大廈正在進行外牆翻新工程,棚架聳立,層層泥綠色安全網保障了工人生命安全,卻保護不了粗心住戶的財物。414Please respect copyright.PENANAYHc5llIx1Z
414Please respect copyright.PENANAbLIjIbyjmO
機會來了。414Please respect copyright.PENANAplAEJR9yjX
414Please respect copyright.PENANA0k855ossJR
阿明熟練地攀上棚架,潛入屋內。屋內無人,亦無防盜攝影鏡頭。安全。四處搜刮看。沒啥特別,現金不過二千,珍寶首飾欠奉,最值錢的估是電視。不過阿明絕未笨得偷電視。414Please respect copyright.PENANAQO6dzTsURC
414Please respect copyright.PENANAhjL2sHGAcF
食物反倒勾起阿明興趣,接連吃上三個即食麵。飲飽食醉,頓感無聊,在屋內四處逛逛看。414Please respect copyright.PENANAWEIEDhETR6
414Please respect copyright.PENANAalyZUO3Kbr
許是個典型三人家庭:爸爸、媽媽、孩子。孩子是個女的,見那粉紅色牆身就知道;主人房雙人床上只有一個枕頭,暗暗道出男女主人關係欠佳;書房有摺床,證明之前的推論沒有錯的可能。414Please respect copyright.PENANAFJi4TKBeGu
414Please respect copyright.PENANAZczrcn2fZU
到浴室去。首先映入眼簾的是座廁,但阿明最為在意的是面盆上方的那面掛鏡。說不上乾淨,亦算不上骯髒,硬是有一片似有還無的濛濛水痕掛在本應清澄的鏡面。414Please respect copyright.PENANAYe4GDVwMKY
414Please respect copyright.PENANAd2xFE0Qy8u
看來不舒服,心裡不舒服——這令阿明想起爸爸。414Please respect copyright.PENANARVk4IXP3Bn
414Please respect copyright.PENANAIS8EVK8q8a
假裝看不見掛鏡,轉身小便去。水聲滴滴,在寂靜浴室中尤顯突兀。心緒不寧。便後,低頭洗手。想望掛鏡,目光卻有意無意避開掛鏡範圍。414Please respect copyright.PENANA1VJ3vBLeFq
414Please respect copyright.PENANAfaQycVpUpR
心虛——那天,他與爸爸大吵一場,意外打破浴室掛鏡。爸爸盛怒將阿明趕出家門,他自此沒有固定的家。414Please respect copyright.PENANArAywWHRIRv
414Please respect copyright.PENANA5E2xpKwBnL
洗手後,到主人房休息去。414Please respect copyright.PENANAu949cY3luZ
414Please respect copyright.PENANAyZxGoqQW1A
輾轉反側。414Please respect copyright.PENANA7IBIDjX6NF
414Please respect copyright.PENANANnshciIpHP
奈不住。找來清潔劑和抹布,用力把掛鏡擦得光光亮亮。望鏡,鏡中人賊眉賊眼,滿腦子歪思歪念。要不得。414Please respect copyright.PENANAXyMCBEjy8l
414Please respect copyright.PENANAdXRewmRycI
「這傢伙要不得!隨他走!」爸爸聲音猶在耳邊,媽媽和妹妹的哭喊求饒之聲不絕於耳。414Please respect copyright.PENANAi9BpVOBoq9
414Please respect copyright.PENANAMZpONac5BD
阿明對鏡苦笑,笑自己執著。放下抹布,再次回到主人房去。414Please respect copyright.PENANA79GzUfRwM0
414Please respect copyright.PENANAmFw6VlJ4Rw
睡床上,閉目養神。聽到室外風聲嗖嗖,嗅到枕頭上殘留著戶主的洗頭水香氣,漸漸分不清楚被褥的溫度是自己的或是戶主的……414Please respect copyright.PENANA8Nqwt38eIA
414Please respect copyright.PENANAjb22CCWgdZ
日,悄悄冒出頭來。阿明乘著八時許的繁忙時段,他混入上班的住戶當中離開大廈。414Please respect copyright.PENANA8uj3j8IKjF
不消數天,偷來的二千元經已花光。阿明不得不想辦法弄點錢,同時奇怪為何幾天以來沒有聽到任何有關自己作案的報導。難道戶主沒有回家,沒有發現住所被爆竊?414Please respect copyright.PENANA9AxbvGYyi1
414Please respect copyright.PENANASDk61HE6ru
夜裡,他回到那幢大廈去,發現保安沒有明顯加強,於是再次潛入那戶去。同樣的廳,同樣的傢俬擺位,偏偏茶几上多了一張字條。414Please respect copyright.PENANAMZhVyFo2bL
414Please respect copyright.PENANA5CeP4EsSvU
「感謝你為我清潔鏡子。我上夜班的,歡迎你隨時夜訪。」414Please respect copyright.PENANAGTlLG6wleh
414Please respect copyright.PENANAKoEQrAITF3
阿明惴惴不安——是陷阱嗎?414Please respect copyright.PENANAU5sHjtQYp9
414Please respect copyright.PENANATMIO4btFyi
不。414Please respect copyright.PENANAgNt3BZQFAE
414Please respect copyright.PENANABbHgebvR6d
他在雪櫃找到大量新鮮食材,亦在大門附近發現未拆包裝的新拖鞋。414Please respect copyright.PENANAlRJcMFSrCL
414Please respect copyright.PENANA8UVLFqPy1F
彷彿是為他準備的。414Please respect copyright.PENANAxFX2cODb2P
414Please respect copyright.PENANAVIs1Fkc1pg
飽餐一頓後,他再次在屋內四處探索,試圖找到更多關於這戶人家的線索。女兒房和書房五臟俱全,偏偏欠缺生活氣息:所有物件齊齊整整,一塵不染,像擺設,像佈景。主人房相對比較貼近現實——地上有長髮,衣櫃內的女裝或宜或皺,妝枱上護膚品排列得序中有亂,垃圾桶內有紙巾團和破信封。這證明了單住僅住有一人,也就是女戶主。414Please respect copyright.PENANAzfGBD5i4KB
414Please respect copyright.PENANA2j76h3E0yN
原來是個女的。414Please respect copyright.PENANArKRXdkfOpM
414Please respect copyright.PENANAk6tQxwWqT2
阿明腦袋不期然冒起一張臉——前妻?414Please respect copyright.PENANAqRj0sneymr
414Please respect copyright.PENANAazQkBeAutR
阿明當年被捕入獄的時候,妻子已懷有兩個月身孕。他刑滿出獄後聯絡不上她,聽說她早已墮胎,另覓良緣。阿明自覺理虧,也就沒有進一步尋找她……414Please respect copyright.PENANAfFlxA8StYv
414Please respect copyright.PENANAhdl8EAwnQg
意難平。繼續翻找,奈何找不到更多有用的信息。414Please respect copyright.PENANAran7OjTuxW
414Please respect copyright.PENANAXXlfDNkqbO
似乎女戶主是刻意藏起來的。414Please respect copyright.PENANA2l4G48gzUn
414Please respect copyright.PENANAuVCkFXMipe
罷。414Please respect copyright.PENANAdzFOcBOwMc
414Please respect copyright.PENANAprudgD1g9T
阿明環顧全屋,驀地覺得佈局似曾相識,像極與前妻同住三年的家。輕嘆一聲,不知哪來的衝動驅使他全屋打掃一番。彷彿回到那段快樂日子。他有努力的原因!他有生存的希望!他有心深念掛的愛人!414Please respect copyright.PENANAnZrXtufR34
414Please respect copyright.PENANA7K6CkYCn8b
阿明雙手忙個不停,腦袋裡全是前妻的臉。他後悔了,可惜往事只能回味。414Please respect copyright.PENANADIYbztqBmw
414Please respect copyright.PENANAo4zDFzIvHL
離開單位前,他在廳中茶几上的字條潦上幾筆:「謝謝。」414Please respect copyright.PENANATNpAbbLUOl
「下班後,看見全屋清潔整齊,工作中所受的委屈一掃而空。謝謝你。」414Please respect copyright.PENANArtZEUpbYkQ
414Please respect copyright.PENANA436mri4Y7n
「你是否喜歡吃牛腩味即食麵?我發現你對這個口味尤感興趣,會多買。要來吃!」414Please respect copyright.PENANAoNEciiMxMf
414Please respect copyright.PENANAltCYq0bS8Z
「煲了青紅蘿蔔豬骨湯。放在微波爐加熱即可飲用。」414Please respect copyright.PENANAU8m6EaU1Yu
414Please respect copyright.PENANAUILIFxQI9U
「快到聖誕,打算焗火雞。你喜歡黑椒味或是傳統醬料味?會預留一份給你。」414Please respect copyright.PENANAEx9xgOzRqr
414Please respect copyright.PENANAOq8X1BZMWn
「今天是平安夜。我佈置了聖誕樹,漂亮嗎?喜歡嗎?」414Please respect copyright.PENANAGLRq60wi98
414Please respect copyright.PENANAqDaegpWSTi
五顏六色的聖誕樹下,阿明對著樹頂那顆散發柔和光線的星星徹底卸下心房,哭了。414Please respect copyright.PENANAXYp0LtURI9
414Please respect copyright.PENANAfN4QXffil9
敞大的屋子空蕩蕩,女兒房沒女兒,主人房沒主人,只有一個冒昧闖入的賊人。恐怕女戶主是個寂寞的人,寂寞得會對一個不認識的賊人放下戒心,也正如阿明自身會對一個任由宰割的陌生人投放感情。想要親眼望望對方……414Please respect copyright.PENANA5nEOSAOEEN
414Please respect copyright.PENANAsmsTLkmwyo
不!這是不智的行為!必須停止!馬上離開!414Please respect copyright.PENANACs8P8Le8sV
414Please respect copyright.PENANAmnHm6kEJco
雙腿忽爾變得沉重,無法動彈。他對不曾見面的女戶主已然投放太多感情,欲斷難斷——他希望對方其實是自己的前妻,說早已原諒他,想要跟他一起生活下去;他希望對方其實是自己的親妹,說父母對他牽腸掛肚,一直等待他回家團聚;他希望對方其實是自己的母親,說每天特意打開窗戶,好讓親愛的兒子隨時找她……414Please respect copyright.PENANAvdyVFFueEU
414Please respect copyright.PENANAVADglK5NK0
鑰匙聲倏忽傳來,大門門把扭開,進入單位的是一名長髮女子。沒待女子身影停下,阿明立即奪門而出,直衝往後樓梯。414Please respect copyright.PENANAAvODaanap2
414Please respect copyright.PENANAjxNBiklVJY
承受不了!他無法承受美好幻想破滅一刻!他無法承受真相浮現帶來的赤裸現實!414Please respect copyright.PENANAcldejfvUwx
414Please respect copyright.PENANA5zEuezRQ13
無論對方僅是一個素未謀面的陌生人,抑或真是他的前妻、媽媽或妹妹,他都接受不來。414Please respect copyright.PENANAVvtrinfiOg
414Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZNz6HOBbn
他恐懼,深怕結局不如自己所想。414Please respect copyright.PENANABiBCeMRW33
414Please respect copyright.PENANARtLgSjyNOJ
既然如此,那就讓結局不要來。414Please respect copyright.PENANAtCvQSEt5p3
414Please respect copyright.PENANADx7FPs1U5d
大街上,細雨紛紛,人欲斷魂。阿明驀地抬頭望向肅殺天空深處,確認天外依然沒有天。414Please respect copyright.PENANANfLCrWXAgp
