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。391Please respect copyright.PENANAZHhw5YCE4f
391Please respect copyright.PENANAkdsI9ngY3a
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANAP5ShQE6tjk

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。391Please respect copyright.PENANAMk0RkTCuj5
391Please respect copyright.PENANAjAyZrTIMlx
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANAtzKmeAXOke
391Please respect copyright.PENANAZUv969Zr91
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANAVURV6ujCtu
391Please respect copyright.PENANALAS0Q3juh9
但他意外瞄見一扇半開的窗。391Please respect copyright.PENANALAZjml5qbS
391Please respect copyright.PENANA55C5sSbX6G
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANApzMXeAXil3
391Please respect copyright.PENANAyvn8YSCc0k
機會來了。391Please respect copyright.PENANAtML0US6wzT
391Please respect copyright.PENANAEIUYyllBB8
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANAc8y8K7f4y0
391Please respect copyright.PENANA9jM0vb3dQK
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANA23sMHzj32Q
391Please respect copyright.PENANAFv46qwFOle
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANALaH63QHmcy
391Please respect copyright.PENANA2lUGGbCgsP
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANAbkpEXvGpCh
391Please respect copyright.PENANAO0h1XYcGoa
看來不舒服,心裡不舒服——這令阿明想起爸爸。391Please respect copyright.PENANAjNzM1bjXp0
391Please respect copyright.PENANAmFN9YgCFBi
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANArQdfgWu2Jj
391Please respect copyright.PENANAMnCOe5Y80Z
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANA1hdQWmbSWF
391Please respect copyright.PENANAXUVakgakyd
洗手後,到主人房休息去。391Please respect copyright.PENANAz1ANu1cKdQ
391Please respect copyright.PENANAwRIUnG3FDI
輾轉反側。391Please respect copyright.PENANAIX07Rpx4Lt
391Please respect copyright.PENANABPtUZ2iHSI
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANALT7HPnFTPB
391Please respect copyright.PENANA4UjSiTC0rt
「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。391Please respect copyright.PENANAw2BGn1HLwH
391Please respect copyright.PENANALHK7JsbwHv
阿明對鏡苦笑,笑自己執著。放下抹布,再次回到主人房去。391Please respect copyright.PENANALsUCtc4ZjN
391Please respect copyright.PENANAQNhv1LyViK
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……391Please respect copyright.PENANASJ1yLM3W1p
391Please respect copyright.PENANAF2sKEkSgL5
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANAcwyFiPCpTl
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?391Please respect copyright.PENANA2i74ftRCG0
391Please respect copyright.PENANAumGiRshzvd
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANAOa0x2YpQEY
391Please respect copyright.PENANANTFujPEHM6
「感謝你為我清潔鏡子。我上夜班的,歡迎你隨時夜訪。」391Please respect copyright.PENANAmIBNxE6CBk
391Please respect copyright.PENANAmDR06R8Y1c
阿明惴惴不安——是陷阱嗎?391Please respect copyright.PENANAzq8DWJ6GLX
391Please respect copyright.PENANA5zVfhablXZ
不。391Please respect copyright.PENANA7vwFtYyeH9
391Please respect copyright.PENANANuKk6JL9GZ
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANA3nnXujVBe3
391Please respect copyright.PENANAx3PxL5Lf5X
彷彿是為他準備的。391Please respect copyright.PENANAMUKHYMuFhn
391Please respect copyright.PENANAbDK9sadAw6
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANA7ymAhtBxQ5
391Please respect copyright.PENANAFwSX8guQiJ
原來是個女的。391Please respect copyright.PENANArAGLykDScu
391Please respect copyright.PENANA5bwgpFsNLe
阿明腦袋不期然冒起一張臉——前妻?391Please respect copyright.PENANArnnHEHDmWj
391Please respect copyright.PENANALAWVu9Ccyp
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……391Please respect copyright.PENANAhAwQtYtJjJ
391Please respect copyright.PENANAuEcJfO6yHp
意難平。繼續翻找,奈何找不到更多有用的信息。391Please respect copyright.PENANAtvbGAcrIwr
391Please respect copyright.PENANAKmPmG60DTh
似乎女戶主是刻意藏起來的。391Please respect copyright.PENANAHVWzYoM24N
391Please respect copyright.PENANAdRi2T2Ycnf
罷。391Please respect copyright.PENANACQucdb3aHh
391Please respect copyright.PENANAEbIig9zOaH
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!391Please respect copyright.PENANALmkFaINUCv
391Please respect copyright.PENANAR78xUp1SIQ
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANAXZE3eBMymX
391Please respect copyright.PENANAz7ESSWkvmg
離開單位前,他在廳中茶几上的字條潦上幾筆:「謝謝。」391Please respect copyright.PENANARNZGWJgLBL
「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。」391Please respect copyright.PENANA6h9owgUeYd
391Please respect copyright.PENANAEOl1cW0350
「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!」391Please respect copyright.PENANADPBuVePQCk
391Please respect copyright.PENANAmFoGBWIeUn
「煲了青紅蘿蔔豬骨湯。放在微波爐加熱即可飲用。」391Please respect copyright.PENANAGaJwCyIRuP
391Please respect copyright.PENANANX1qXBzbeS
「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。」391Please respect copyright.PENANAaBqp9euZtU
391Please respect copyright.PENANAfkPCt5C9XK
「今天是平安夜。我佈置了聖誕樹,漂亮嗎?喜歡嗎?」391Please respect copyright.PENANA4ht7OxTttf
391Please respect copyright.PENANAgVvsUz4bZx
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANAHVLpj0SjxL
391Please respect copyright.PENANAzUAHAFhpnM
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……391Please respect copyright.PENANAOpBzr5aMXL
391Please respect copyright.PENANAs73OZ7mrJG
不!這是不智的行為!必須停止!馬上離開!391Please respect copyright.PENANARZCrq2ivVf
391Please respect copyright.PENANARiT2UoWVdA
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……391Please respect copyright.PENANA1aj1dTmKkg
391Please respect copyright.PENANAjVkrLc9emN
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANAFMPXaaOkWY
391Please respect copyright.PENANAFPuOwQfLjw
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!391Please respect copyright.PENANA81yxHzgoC8
391Please respect copyright.PENANAqOJ86vDqGB
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANAowdylrtpEu
391Please respect copyright.PENANAfQV38w5U4K
他恐懼,深怕結局不如自己所想。391Please respect copyright.PENANAewDBq6u5AA
391Please respect copyright.PENANAvZVLDC7vus
既然如此,那就讓結局不要來。391Please respect copyright.PENANAb4TWZp7pfk
391Please respect copyright.PENANAPBR15XbHx8
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。391Please respect copyright.PENANAKsrCGQAu7t
