《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。1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet61NSab5s

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。1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC6Xn7TOQ6
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8JfAf2sSn
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。1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9NohCsPY4
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lTO5uqsVh
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。1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98p3kmKOP5
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNEGdv7gPI
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnmR5JFUpl
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jkQVtXTgz
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKvhojjQO9
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcb2B6KpZg
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。」1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU5PiOot28
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAmI5D3iYR
他沒奈何，但只得接受。1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHP7VzeOPJ
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlfC7vQme4
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。1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPGgX2Q1oW
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZBLGNqxTA
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！1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi4B8jbRXH
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf4piXWgq0
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBb04aCuTE
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKvVTSI7zO
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。1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡProvz0RVAq
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPMrRvUPeA
城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaNGibGdD6
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MHuSkGMhW
「聖誕快樂！」1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftBEOldgIv
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S0mt9A9cF
「新年快樂！」1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TgDm0MKPl
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb9fNUl6mD
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。1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZgqcrAskQ
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLdoS4ypcM
未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJCp5sNtGx
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkjzqE4jaZ
倏忽飄雪漫天。1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykmAQKHAZv
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TiMXLIoiU
寒氣徹骨。1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nsIHF3gze
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13AyMrgdnr
回家吧。1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14f28j1nEB
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi3IksAhzU
走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzisWVlqfue
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpUnG5XhsZ
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TH24QoN2N
1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPBWsZp6Ua
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。1433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ1FEivy3U
