愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVy2i8nAH6
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt9NTvd56Q
但準確來說，是前攝影師。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcjLRxPWHe
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8zZGuXDIC
「全職做攝影師而養得活自己嘅人唔多……好可惜，愛莉唔係其中之一。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmUJ9ItJ05
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS53RyHQ2D
鈴兒帶我來到了天井下的接待處，從抽屜中拿出一張相片，上面都是鈴兒和大家在阡迴旅館中的日常照。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡninzGGLcG6
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAdla1QuYA
雖然不是甚麼美輪美奐的服飾背景，但從構圖，光影，看得出愛莉精準地捕捉了大家的身姿。笑著的鈴兒，彼此碰杯的阿力與阿倫，伏在鈴兒胸前撒嬌的渺渺……愛莉的相片之中滲透著日常感，看畢後有種心中暖洋洋的感覺。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZsRYWA2WN
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoOqonnGED
「好靚係唔係？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyOmqstEiv
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAybB9Od2qk
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2rfK9uyZk
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S3JmAUMHK
「愛莉嘅影相技術無異係真材實料，但係想喺香港做一個全職攝影師實在太難，唉。」鈴兒嘆一口氣道，「所以佢亦無辦法，只有向現實低頭，做返會計。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAPZ1qvrvE
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7rhw8zXRS
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ334WC58skZ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyNWzZ7ecs
「嗯，仲無晒私人時間添。」鈴兒說，「佢係某晚OT到凌晨，忍唔住話落街買咖啡，結果走咗去天星碼頭旁邊忍唔住對住個海喊。又唔想返上去寫字樓，又唔可以一走了之，因為要靠份工生活……」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH65pbzElzT
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0PTDxueda
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12eDaT7TwM
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91vBbjJPzd
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTn3l1FTz8
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX4IoS6Fw8
「返去嘅理由…」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggNY2nUUZK
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9DgnhW64b
「之後係大廈入面蕩失路，搵唔到升降機大堂，行出大廈只見到阡迴旅館，愛莉就係咁樣嚟到呢度。」鈴兒說。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1scS3sOwN
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxlxoNEdUK
我搖頭道：「唔怪得佢唔想返去，係度佢可以盡情影相，又唔使擔心生計，我係佢都唔走。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfuWAgwqFl
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuMbN09HnT
「當然，但問題就係呢度：留係阡迴旅館之中，無論留幾耐都好，佢永遠無可能成為真正嘅攝影師。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71RJgFr1wP
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ASaIaeTGs
我心中一沉。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWHkvgeAYO
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXq35ecmc3
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hKHmnjzIo
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjqTvvv16D
這兒沒有時間流動，雖然我們不會老去不會疲累，但也意味著在阡迴旅館中沒有成為更好版本自己的可能。阡迴旅館內時間是停滯的，所以人生也會定格在這兒。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7OGfS2hse
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5ZgEn0UH2
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTOorHBDUt
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3m7qNo834
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9Ly2K7x2D
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf3J9t5PbC
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCbZedUx8A
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTBtYTUR7z
「唔緊要，係我同阿柏早咗到。反正我地呢度唔缺時間啦。」鈴兒馬上擺出開朗的樣子，果然在這笑容下是一顆體貼，溫柔的細膩內心。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh8udulSiJ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAiuUodHpo
「我始終想再睇多次。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW33bjKuc5i
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvXWVJOc6o
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pddJkB2NS
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMKXd9GIUJ
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaoY9TBVS7
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fBIHMxA1o
按鈴兒剛剛所說，她就是要使用名為「阡迴之門」的權能，通往時間和平行宇宙…？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7ev8mBRLY
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCUIHo1mSp
甚麼跟甚麼。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3zA3hIpHV
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54NA3uTnbs
「阡迴旅館係所有道路嘅交匯之處，即使係唔同時間線嘅平行宇宙都包括在內。身為職員嘅我，就係要負責為住客打開阡迴之門，令佢地搵到返去嘅動機同地方。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiV9r23us3
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorlhtic9Zf
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eA39UFklj
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaDoGHtq0p
「例如——」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMtRqzqDFX
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI98WjespQ
隨她優雅的腰姿擺動往前走，鈴兒腳下的地板突然如泛起漣漪般輕晃，她別著的風鈴髮飾奏鳴出清脆的聲音。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5uzs3aTpx
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLXrInGsv0
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GIHt1qahi
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BUDU3htf0
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXxSw6SiWh
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo5JXA2w6U
「嗯，行呢邊。」鈴兒張開眼回首微笑，然後信步往迴音最為深厚的角落走去。的確很明顯聽得到迴音從這邊傳來，原來風鈴是用來定位的方法。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qrAL1Rbbt
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMYilnaAS5
我們穿過天井下的大堂，迴音的殘響言猶在耳，天井化成巨大的共鳴箱，每隔幾步殘響都會再次掠過中庭，提醒我們前進的方向。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yETxRX7bX
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWVjRAlGBE
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcU1LjlU82
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp9OxCFTi7
「Hall 2B？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1pzk5NnpP
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7URnJUgj7Z
這門的風格與阡迴旅館的室內設計格格不入，金屬邊框加上噴砂銅面相當歐式，門柄還是木雕花的長形原木，能看到木紋在凹凸浮雕上起伏。在門的正中央，以秀麗的英文寫上「Hall 2B」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSasi5YAREq
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV6GvrHTeL
「阡迴之門會複製出目的地嘅一扇門，之後穿過去就可以到達目的地。」鈴兒按著門把，「準備好？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdliqbtHdAA
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIsuBnp697
我點點頭：「嗯。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZi8Ivs83F
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7tyl3fyBb
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcQUOl59To
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOEBM6rgQO
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY4SX0xnWm
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HCVGuGdSY
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhwWy4oH96
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV2T5KuzPO
「嘎——」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzVCMnrxKH
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq85X2MJZVX
鈴兒推開阡迴之門，我們三人魚貫地通過，門的後方竟然不是阡迴旅館的任何一個空間，而是一個宴會現場！449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ88Oj1dYC3
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBjyF12oHE
「呢度……！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmej5ebCojy
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCS9xlV12W
舞台前方大排筵席，人們都衣香鬢影，一桌又一桌的大圓桌旁坐著各國籍的各色人種，但他們都穿得相當體面，男的穿西裝燕尾服，女的穿晚裝裙子。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhffucC14C
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXak3WIVZv
啊糟糕了雖然未搞清這是怎麼回事，但我穿著很舒服但絕不適合這兒的鬆身外套和運動褲……449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx0EXNRZOB
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1SOgLCl6r
「咦？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSqTdGDkSX
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjQVwtU5Hm
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDBaB3RVtq
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WHyYedRsZ
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9KC9aYomw
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw3y1Up0hY
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwXHjtMtWn
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7Qz0ykeLn
鈴兒穿上了酒紅色的長尾晚裝裙，高根鞋上的黑絲襪與晚裝長手襪互相呼應，而愛莉就穿上了橙色的晚裝裙加上優雅的長披肩。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9KTte3new
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcYgaDPtQe
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa73FurByo0
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMmiTPaUd0
我回首看看剛才穿過的門，剛好有一名侍者穿門而出，可以看到門後已經變回了酒店金碧輝煌的大堂，絕非古色古香的阡迴旅館。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiagOJTvHgg
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59L98xu298
「呢度係……」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm41lSg0Whh
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYDDvg21d8
環顧四周，我馬上看到舞台上的英文標題：世界新聞攝影基金會頒獎典禮，這倒算了，但最嚇人的是後面的年份。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJsrY0bm0H
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarlcysnjD0
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp65XCTsN9X
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzucmVlocP
鈴兒說：「年份無寫錯，呢度係未來，應該話係多如恆河沙數無數個未來之中嘅其中一個。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTIq8IiDPJ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkagMGOSy4
「世界新聞攝影比賽，係世界上其中一個最重要嘅攝影比賽，同美國嘅普立茲獎齊名。但係後者主要係美國人先可以參加，所以……呢度可以話係攝影記者嘅殿堂。」愛莉雙眼閃閃發亮。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8xsbf7BGO
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSq5h7GoeL
「各位先生女士，請大家就座，好快我地今晚嘅典禮就會正式開始。」舞台上出現同樣穿著西裝的主持人，他以英文發言，附近的人聞言也紛紛和正在聊天聚首的人暫時別過，然後坐回自己的座位上。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa3kswBvEi
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNhGplZrb3
就在那瞬間，我看到了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFN8GwxcoB
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfsXZ5I8LT
主舞台前方的一張圓桌旁，一個女士與男伴坐下。那女士不是誰，正是我們身邊的愛莉！但是看年紀似乎年長些許，旁邊那個男人與她也表現親密，無名指上的婚戒……是他的丈夫！449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINpIrcmZKU
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCCDoHkc1y
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpDp0ajjn7
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBWiRgkKgz
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ajI0trpNK
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4eHxgoyqv
這種場合都是預先分配好座位的吧，我們身為從阡迴旅館而來的人怎麼辦？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oueyGyT0O
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvmV9hgUx1
「我地行呢邊。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFsi7id0MZ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDpMcX1z9K
鈴兒領著我們逆人潮而上，賓客回到舞台前的座位，我們離舞台而遠去，如同逆著時間流而上一樣。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P5VrQy4gX
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GsqFp3ABM
就在我們再次穿門而過前。我卻看到那兒年長的愛莉正回首看著我們的方向！449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9qjzA2YVQ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUHBHKYrzi
「嘎——」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ4V5QWaQS
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9e3UAJqwk
穿過大門，我們卻沒有回到阡迴旅館，而是回到了同一個宴會廳！449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8oFjqh9Bh
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmBgyGtLB3
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFb2C3cDfk
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRRRvvWBYB
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMBMM6YvEM
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsyF6ZHyCD
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAIPNLsS7v
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVr03yFY63
鈴兒繼續前進，剛好我們這邊的門旁邊有著另一扇門，我們馬上又鑽進去。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY8QXcsE0d
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYJpmVmtNF
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET0cn3OmkL
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7AWOnRN61
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHx3g1RTXN
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGyhgYxUqB
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgH1n7w3LR
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6r4pfJNCz
每次穿過門，舞台旁邊的愛莉其打扮都會有些許不同，或是頭髮長了，或是晚裝變了款式，或是頸飾的長度不同，而她身邊的同伴也會男女老幼變個不停，其中一次最離譜是她肩膊上繼續坐著一隻鸚鵡。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfLP5pkEBI
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94XJolhSyD
但唯有那一句不變。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kPmp5fphU
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dtKZbPz0I
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFR50TVVNJ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqr9ea0viI
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。8964 copyright protection445ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyelwHiA3w 維尼
