愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONRNwmG6ag
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspTlNGfPHq
但準確來說，是前攝影師。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfPti4M6D5
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03K9RzKslS
「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。」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcaQcqzc6S
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIcr3G6Osz
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。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHQD8QP1HH
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUa21Hs1jV
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。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc6HrRWIMb
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0S68y1t5S
「好靚係唔係？」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8127H3Tw7
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4KfAVOSmr
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD6bn5urEZ
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMqSUp1XqY
「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。」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQYNNljYOh
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J6Vl3ijcw
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnyfux6j5A
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhEQ7rVxDI
「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……」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkziVQI6NJ
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN5ccxwYDn
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RSd5EfGoz
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOscv5FXd37
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd1WrccXEy
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkIAJMaZw8
「返去嘅理由…」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n8sgdYEhy
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfkH339ZKQ
「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。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzslELMMR5y
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5rPGhuNd2
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。」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlVu2y9HwK
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDVx3ufkId
「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。」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UGMFAIpEx
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBkmJm1sL8
我心中一沉。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaIiQjMbUS
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xiKtlEprn
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJq7Be8f7L
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTbzJXEE4c
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。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxBNepCYNx
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrprYR9fLY
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnw6Pq5Ndx
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAK272aTwM
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPVHgSNUZ5
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2j9OOZAye
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnFlQGAroQ
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMIskJ5h5W
「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。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jOd7L9utA
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85pw9LZsgX
「我始終想再睇多次。」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5yo39L9py
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzCEBPRuTu
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlat67buoo
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q5NORFNmC
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICCl6TGI0W
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvHcIvgOWr
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…？719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6cO7lqm9I
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySsGKUFkzw
甚麼跟甚麼。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu9htH2b1Y
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafVoZw3KLZ
「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。」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMsWddTRDS
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjOs3JZrTM
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBeQ53Op91
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuVi5TCNm2
「例如——」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE5FTeDfaw
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSHDwqVS63
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。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgTqiX6Zt1
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasTTD9Rbrl
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIJRpZdElm
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcuwYO9X3L
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqOSyVuFgg
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLttmDNNSt
「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。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98zmNmoiOS
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjgR6fQfxd
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。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ7OfCB5fR
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC7tuXgg7B
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEG7F5Z6CC
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEH8KgHcFc
「Hall 2B？」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAHh7O9evK
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhefgyUQIGM
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」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKCKpm1QQd
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4qBRP0WM2
「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？」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAN1yuUhf9
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokWtaT3wO0
我點點頭：「嗯。」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthrswglWxa
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqFNwZceOP
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCHsUMM1dB
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3IjIG0oY6
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB85rPIL7zd
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcaNtLBMH0
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rvFtR6cnM
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzLLjVEnos
「嘎——」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxhmtOx7XX
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OMl2Cr2Tq
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！719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7Txg7O5dc
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Prtqnq2fL
「呢度……！」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pmEmi2iE6
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQLkw2mYA4
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。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMu3RVB0RC
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O5mVAhdtg
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……719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPgqsnMz3O
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7WctdBSfS
「咦？」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xYr4XfqXZ
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cOoKqHaJA
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9YWiz7Hzv
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi65NmfmtNo
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2W68bMSP3
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokDzC4lfMT
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflmU6pz47U
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUl45tiQXv
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。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6TTKCzTwG
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46AisoQqTB
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO4nTizYxq
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5JJ6dvNGK
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。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSmtKt4f82
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalQqt9mhI0
「呢度係……」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk3mmPuwqW
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QNqM0NcjY
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。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJhgt1HE9W
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk94thJ7qO8
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdgboQjhJ2
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ845UoAnYU6
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。」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrNMMfSCrO
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHPTyii5nT
「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。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsUYVJd2vR
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DT1BR7eNU
「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。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzsGoNSKwV
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3XlcFitwJ
就在那瞬間，我看到了。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt9X0RraWN
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2kxxjqvXT
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！719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs7YIul0Is
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr1iAvEzi7
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50ieAs7ZvM
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbGG4UN1jN
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAyuaVEWYi
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhRVfPgqFy
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？719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYcGWu1sk7
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpu306ahQo
「我地行呢邊。」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wv2OcU3uL
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5k326bM9s
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。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91qrXlJEKE
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqK4QKTRzr
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！719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvpO1bBJGE
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg9aDTwlO2
「嘎——」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPLjz489ru
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwHBXA7Bra
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！719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTFVxckS44
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvS7uzmVHl
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhctu7tKbm3
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NGnXZYlM3
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwM9TuRAHT
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPPRG0E1DU
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IyeebvN7W
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIuQjRoOzt
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。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07fPlojTBM
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsGGHLoyEy
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs1FMqMTQm
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsCE3cg5h5
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OhsgITgnM
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngAe6uRma7
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8rbsCLfoT
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvaEfdrZQq
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。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG2lI2OK2X
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVsDqTqDkA
但唯有那一句不變。719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsjj7nfqVw
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuq4zXTvz1
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHcko33HHq
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVudl6rVFc
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。1234 copyright protection715ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR4djEFv4P 尼
