「去哪？」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB1GbzDfAO
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdFksWU7Tt
「急事。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJUTHua3th
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOb7I5WWx9
「你不吃晚餐？」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ780mzXXDr6
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemAMLyVANT
我沒應答，逕自出門。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYK7bkQMED
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXVfiH1wXk
冬夜六時。厚衣下的溫暖身軀與袒露的臉和手，不協調感令我忐忑不安。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOIq3adR6P
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJITXIt2xAY
難以言喻的鬱悶。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AyjLwQtMY
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0Todj6aUQ
長嘆。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NqRjICXck
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8tQ0CoVMg
「紅萬。」我邊說邊掏出八達通。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UDsRZPoMK
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwDudmFKNt
店員爽快從身後陳列架取來貨品，熟練在收銀機屏幕上點點按按，然後給我贈品——果汁味肉乾三小包。我有意無意瞄了瞄她的臉。大眾臉，過目即忘。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq70WKEUuU
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPwmXPotr5
「不需要贈品？」她驀地抬眼，與我眼神對上。是發現我的無禮目光嗎？407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2KBMF2ETB
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7HD52n983
「我……錯認是口香糖。」我慌忙編個爛藉口，連忙接過香菸和肉乾。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3olwtv4ul0
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7fRTOophP
她假笑，沒再搭理我，拿起抹布四處抹。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJJWgBE6Y3
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lLxnYqCHE
我走出光線充足的便利店，重踏漆黑夜空下的大街。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVAOWWma1S
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QUBPxR8Qj
另一種不協調。另一種忐忑，另一種不安。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvBzIs6sVN
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcctB4Ia8l
櫥窗五光十色，路人絡繹不絕。人潮亂中有序，不約而同在紅色燈號前止住，然後在綠色燈號亮起當刻同時邁步。一致得神奇，一致得可怕。並肩而行的男男女女在過路以後分道揚鑣，不為曾經的遇見生起任何印象或猶豫。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdytmfLjfo3
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lITqQbySU
心血來潮，我莫名其妙拐到小巷去。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy2KgZkFWs
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVpeRJ53lZ
污水，雜物，廚餘，鼠餌，坑渠。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2bjUPZFDQ
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ59OKn6p1J
髒，亂，腐，毒，臭。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiU6M9HWul
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3XFDUuxgP
為何要到這種地方來？不是捷徑，不知盡頭何處，不懷目的……407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8SgO4I0Tb
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxE3j9Jlh6
小巷盡處是另一小巷，盡頭以後是另一開始。路接路，走又走。不停前行，像是正在找出口；絕不回頭，像是不打算找到真正出口。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfCmylUZ3a
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5bSvIfIPC
厭煩日常走過的路，不欲重覆。若問想要到甚麼地方去，其實我沒有答案。很奇妙。眼下似乎有很多選擇，實質一切已成定局。那是大街，這是小巷。大街在明，小巷在暗。大街繁華，小巷冷清。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSDz9WvcOe
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSllzqk2Ypd
註定的。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2zSU8svaA
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35GmXtCXMA
冷清小巷盡頭會有好東西麼？我不相信，亦不願輕言不相信。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P7GGIBfhQ
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLnf1R2fXK
汪——汪——嗚——拐角傳來狗隻悲鳴。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcTkUK66pa
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo65N9QMIDP
停步。猶疑。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcYGSGbr7l
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMUKgIjhuN
惻隱？慈悲？然後呢？根本沒有然後，因為我自顧不暇。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvXEuwHl7Y
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs289Gi9Q49
轉身。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxfSOKVbEU
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIBxQ0sIUb
汪——汪——嗚——拐角狗隻再次悲鳴。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSASjkhNow
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV1pIEsCmd
我回身走去。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8CEgA9iB6
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPT6WU0rHO
惻隱？慈悲？不，好奇罷。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAK1NvJgqp
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeeLBaA9Sl
把小狗抱入懷內。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEzhlEtrfv
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFtz9POaz2
「暖和沒？」我傻傻自語——嘴巴極需要說話理由。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzPImbXmkf
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3QsZeVXks
陣風從後疾過，寒意夾雜水氣與鹹香。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfHQ1QYjbk
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczmy2nVKBV
海風？海濱公園步道？407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsHHvV3kZR
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYpvKmOWz9
「一起散步去吧。」我沒期望小狗會回答，但我需要溜達原因。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKbmlZvYos
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLydoSgaC0u
多拐兩個彎，我帶著小狗在兩幢高樓之間走出來，恰巧看見銀月自海平面升起。清澄，純淨，圓滿。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAuhxaQD7C
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxAYV91ML9
「看！這是月亮。」我指天示意小狗往上望去。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigxuIHaPR1
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdoTMbJlU9
汪——牠回答，但沒有依指示抬頭。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxFh0rPiub
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApEiO8E7CR
「找個好地方坐坐吧！」為免小狗中途跑掉，我微微拉下外套拉鏈，把小狗往內塞。牠沒反抗，甚至懂得稍為伸出頭部，方便呼吸和看風景。我真慶幸剛才沒有對牠視若無睹：「乖。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvE41ZzgY1
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJwU7urRZW
銀月清冷，步道冷清，寧靜。心跳規律，呼吸有序，乏味。回憶很多，未知更多，迷惘。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwMLPmuHHm
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlDV1dwStE
「我上一次來海濱公園是小學畢業後的那個暑假。與幾個特別要好的男生相約到來踩roller，跌了幾跤，膝蓋流血。明明怕血，明明怕痛，偏偏為保面子而強說無事，硬撐一整天。結果翌日膝蓋腫黑大片，痛得要命，不得不到醫院求醫。結果在醫院留醫足足兩個月，九月中才可到新學校上課。」我在路邊長椅坐下，拆開一包贈品肉乾給小狗充飢，報答牠聽我發牢騷。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q4as6XiUt
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP87pDD6OER
「留醫期間，我生氣朋友們不來探望我，打算出院後臭罵他們一頓。出院後，我忙於學校課業，忘記致電他們，然後順理成章忘記他們。當我再次想起他們，已是高中畢業的事。」我點菸，一吸一呼，虛假短暫的舒爽。「其實沒甚麼大不了，無需要記在腦袋裡。但事情就是發生過，不是說忘記就可以忘記。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFUpoArKsd
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OeVAMCLFV
記憶零碎，思路紊亂。嘴巴想要表達更多，無奈腦袋運轉不來，沒能將感受化為言語……算了吧。反正小狗根本沒興趣聽下去。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk1NBQKAdu
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiwVYIPuKe
「你似乎對肉乾比較有興趣。」我又拆開一包肉乾予牠。牠吃得津津有味，舌頭不時舔舔嘴邊，甚至舔到小小鼻頭。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnj0eIGNK4
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFGLpDMOQD
我笑，笑牠傻氣可愛。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ080DPtYr4F
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu76Puhde5j
又吸一口虛假短暫的舒爽。又呼一口難以言喻的鬱悶。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NR3EP3DiT
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH0OaMsyo3
鬱悶何來？407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZFM9ostN1
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJeiVv00Y3
學業壓力？愛情煩惱？家庭不和？407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8kHUFMGZe
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAC1pzhkXG
也許統統都是，也許統統不是。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0TmOCRFZO
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXbnVpWKvr
多件零星不順心瑣碎事湊在一起成為一股無法消弭的鬱悶。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr92I84Kkam
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtVIZJGr2g
有如一根經過繁複工序生產的香菸。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvy7ee2o3V
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclKjlsZU94
有如一塊由豬肉、糖、鹽、增味劑、醬油、香辛料、護色劑、色素組成的肉乾。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGFGy0E4da
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wgDcS7Fld
「好吃吧。」我又拆開一包肉乾。趁小狗專心咬嚼，我彈走菸屁股，將牠從懷裡抽出，來個深深擁抱。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pGgPmlUjc
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Un7DcWEDM
然後呢？根本沒有然後。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5fonbxXSu
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTBEwg5p45
我輕輕放下小狗，動身邁步離開。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj78hcxXEEv
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi198odpdxT
正如牠知道我身上沒有更多肉乾，自然而然不會跟上來。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIW2E476Jr
