愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1D8s5OvAA
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Drq2AOYy7
但準確來說，是前攝影師。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxzUnkTWMT
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUGDnvZL5C
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEzWT47wCR
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocIo55dXYF
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraAY0rE08Y
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlijW1GCYzB
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUahjO1QGjN
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxqeYR6cOP
「好靚係唔係？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHtJA6TwLf
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1SB7cNLKs
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSx3ybqZkD
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWSS3rkc0t
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWXR39H7Ds
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyBxD26auf
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsbOGyDgmn
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb9EnVEKMs
「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……」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETb0r1UyuL
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ETrUP2aTO
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQMllaRcXr
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AO8nZ5bNy
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0YKC7igw8
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuzQWCzGN0
「返去嘅理由…」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcwymed6Dn
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfhSmonYL2
「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrN4tpKcjw
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsD9JBj8dF
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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRWMdT81rK
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE1l8PMNDu
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwnfrgFQ6e
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ywmT1rQJO
我心中一沉。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioIoZBOifP
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hZjoOcq73
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TaLxyKNB4
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchmbyKvVZS
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fniTxLZmk
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYFNT6WLsS
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0paVIaZJKE
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jF9gnfPa3
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2mJJ3NPOe
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6YxbaiUz4
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RxymGWF4E
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFBowgP9tI
「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFXA1A9JYC
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwwla7lzVu
「我始終想再睇多次。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgyTopls7L
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy3punKAHz
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmSL5sy96E
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT78wyebT1
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4RSMZrEmh
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuJXUqEbTW
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…？317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9CktDbAie
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcZwlE42Hg
甚麼跟甚麼。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuDxoeK5Pe
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilfhX672SH
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMXFdK1EZu
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFUTJEvJG6
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz7sjo9jWd
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRnPex78jW
「例如——」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Py2Nt5xXK
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47QDMA6Dij
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ueJ86pMgP
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO699CKjE3
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeMl5VT8jU
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE7TExbQJ2
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0K6XSvukB
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8TxCe08YW
「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ275azLIaiP
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsGeQiMh4B
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0goziEYKV
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynp4bHKz7I
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPb2cSccJz
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLudfg8hGxw
「Hall 2B？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWGvL3Udt7
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DGP11WuRv
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」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gl7eFQP6r
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldDDYXXB1g
「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？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV9xAbqieS
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIigG4vwJtn
我點點頭：「嗯。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA88rDVttf
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpCV1NuBwj
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzSAaXe6hy
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL0rqpQMqP
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4RmV1nKZz
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN1iHYrYu4
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqNrbJK8WK
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwSGMVFRwK
「嘎——」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLqCpgEjzz
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSDTDMZeIk
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！317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqd0Nb4vNl
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6grVZEfyw
「呢度……！」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MrgYvzXgF
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV7muO5L08
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrtm8ic1tr
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedqOAGxO1b
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……317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXBibX6EYx
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokwq3BoDsC
「咦？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAAZLM8G7S
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbhez0HAX6
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zk7S2qHk5
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxfSulDy6T
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuEsVrSVEq
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZWArwvAro
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTVOfZUCYp
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxksL5A3Yep
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7nEYHU5D0
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4iAw9vHyU
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz8DUYV6ox
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFfKTQoXyl
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaccygpQFC
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIMtOWFaKH
「呢度係……」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosGmDYvXso
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXbIIduWqp
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy1Xltd8jU
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMj2pZ5FPc
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhSzufGG0C
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIAaWouo10
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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93N1uSzJq7
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlDJD0DxOG
「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn9e6uW43r
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C3KBCBMYm
「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffhFIXdP5n
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JKbeolXz5
就在那瞬間，我看到了。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyDhXL9aYw
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAqArEqOJ3
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！317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmEWvECQLx
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aMfBNcfLK
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LIoJFscIE
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13uilrrIRp
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMiTLwrnEH
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSruUJtW63O
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？317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvz7lV28m0
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVX8LqsEAX
「我地行呢邊。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p5jlgxqXk
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2yCzr3Uag
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nhKFNTCik
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqAnJQlOec
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！317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2nPqA8ZV5
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrsrEx0RCG
「嘎——」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3SHxlx9kS
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiXc6qpsef
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！317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KmtfchN3S
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1yvM6v9f6
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYNM5SfXYr
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB9UccazLP
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY2ZbtKpv7
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNbxhF4HAJ
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURCuF3TyAW
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3JUlUtlNL
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIuchxveUq
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkcDJUDHd1
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9hTpbeK4R
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oLEo6tmad
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdyYnXTZQ3
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoWAuOd7CA
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEIoQiPMTE
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wq4uriZnS
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xtr716Eq5
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJENbutybF6
但唯有那一句不變。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEOFNt4oly
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWvBC7s2cl
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCj4Bd1FPv
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4r61dNCvH
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
