《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。907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVuZ0R4Mnh

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。907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa9QoKbD73

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。907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9jxkhC72R
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisHKycUper
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。907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lBkhAAyhm
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50MOHB1H1C
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tD9dxvJtb
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXK2c32ug9
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf8RHxJf4B
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiKUc3eACd
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。」907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlLrmrs3C8
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cnlFCzRbW
他沒奈何，但只得接受。907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDTvppwKb0
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5Br6mo9g9
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。907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFOb3MjVI2
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2l63M2O6u
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！907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cDo3vtNOQ
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyA3qhHGPG
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0BfwRxDSG
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hKBBYtHzd
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。907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0PRWZaE0Y
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZagoSYehk
城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgK5jSRWO6
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cy5GzSApX
「聖誕快樂！」907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ11lYQZbpj
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9U5IiK21P
「新年快樂！」907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lsy0iXP9m
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrHHqZNou8
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。907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP1mAzQARo
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk4gLyT9mZ
未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49sEKuFpOt
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU0uh5umiO
倏忽飄雪漫天。907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhl6oJboml
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZIHsXUpkP
寒氣徹骨。907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg3jQJftXQ
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDau3bJGie
回家吧。907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI5olXoOJu
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIgO6HN2In
走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4U9zSmBf5
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kPhIzfLpY
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwp9yFi9RT
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4dg544zi7
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。907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygq54JCWsH
