《盒誌》雜誌第二十二期徵稿 - 幽幽冬夜

他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaahwf16Oya

看著她因嚴寒而打顫，看著她為取暖而不斷劃下火柴，看著她對著火光傻傻發笑，看著她的微笑僵住，看著她一動也不動。1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26re0xd1mg

他潛步走近，確認她停止呼吸後，俐落地將那小小的遺體放入大布袋裡，匆匆前往諾克斯博士的辦公室。1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuTy1qnONv
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kjO7ZxJ41
聽聞合法的屍體供應不能滿足研究需求，不少解剖學家願意花大錢偷偷買下來源不明的屍體。諾克斯博士就是當中尤其闊綽的一個。1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkmUyFMILt
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62CF9mvGEo
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqZvsTCrAF
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGyg8SFkcU
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoFFNmql35
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoDqxyKjPS
諾克斯博士還是認為這貨不值一個好價錢：「如果你真的那麼缺錢，可以帶走她的財物賣掉。」1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP97O0ULW6S
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MAlLdGTkR
他沒奈何，但只得接受。1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiJNs1S5kQ
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUyOMPO9zg
他小心翼翼地翻動小女孩的遺體。除了因著諾克斯博士的要求（切勿毀壞遺體），亦因著對她的歉意。1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTCg2rPiXX
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYnSkod0H5
無人生來就是壞傢伙。若非一貧如洗，他決不幹此缺德非法勾當！1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OUAk4F1PX
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfdHTGoY4f
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunVHJJGvx0
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86zU9u3SDv
肅殺街景和溫暖的辦公室形成強烈對比，他一下子接受不來、反應不了，愣在原地倍感悲悽。1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikXcNkhqU8
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy5dHvY0kU
城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutBOzozRN8
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxdWz7LJk9
「聖誕快樂！」1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfBzIKjZF6
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcMYWuwn6K
「新年快樂！」1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjHvWrQOOS
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnitGS3dntS
鄰近富戶不約而同傳出歡呼聲、祝福聲，訴說對未來的憧景與盼望。1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjEBa9c9Yd
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzCYDmiLfL
未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeG1nKkjvZ
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjgX2ad1s8
倏忽飄雪漫天。1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdOOnWTGM8
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtVev3HQKT
寒氣徹骨。1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBANKIlFNp
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YUaXEACGA
回家吧。1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC658aRigqg
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK3YZ6rfWz
走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq1AIujv2O
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1eAtGTUlY
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbyFyr34fr
1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5FGJ1Z3AP
他上前一把擁兒子入懷，多麼希望剛才含笑離世的不是小女孩，而是懷中親兒。1459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXaZiyPNKa
