《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。953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNBZCqLuV7

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。953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs8foCD4T0

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。953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO9F8Ugf0s
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20CRiTPOYw
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。953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMqUKwD2fZ
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5FVt94EJy
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHDPqXQeJK
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslnIx83V4F
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEReLiiirum
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58hJMFsXLd
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。」953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr15cmG6fbA
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrgFUdog9B
他沒奈何，但只得接受。953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntgYfzTyik
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UynnSRNff
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。953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qnK44My4C
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDUl7k1lOz
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！953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZyh0qREBx
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCFmeeTRXf
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxTb8YvmYs
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7SzrMgNoJ
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。953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCshXx6nxr
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN6kg3cwbw
城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyyyXcbOhE
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aQ8zkXwoC
「聖誕快樂！」953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQqNjz999o
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUNkD2XJK0
「新年快樂！」953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG5xDBN65u
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnu7psVhWS
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。953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq4vnP2DTD
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW8dp1Rjj8
未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTDG20H523
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE5doxmJDD
倏忽飄雪漫天。953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp6mNGGsb6
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCCawbrZf9
寒氣徹骨。953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVQqC4617C
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfirQS8UEX
回家吧。953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ma1aLyiz0
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3EtHO5pnv
走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvMPwb5uFC
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIypQBCKYNn
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXwcMsofoS
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiBq6nhFVL
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。953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZew5FwGpR1
