寒流突襲，全城氣溫急降。政府開放庇護中心予露宿者借宿，中心裡霎時間熱鬧非常，杯麵香飄，被褥溫軟。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWxiOFfiTw

阿明在門口猶豫一秒，瞬間打消內進念頭——有通輯令在身，不宜冒險。開步走在蕭蕭寒風中，思索是夜該要到哪兒度過。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBommSVHSic

中秋已過，聖誕燈飾隱伏大廈外牆，靜待一個月後亮起一剎，花花綠綠，琳瑯滿目。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaR8Tjpiad
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmalGwJCD6
阿明曾經喜歡聖誕，曾經相信聖誕老人存在，曾經期待聖誕襪裝滿禮物，曾經騎在爸爸肩膊摘下聖誕樹頂的星星……曾經的自己是個千依百順的乖孩子，與家人關係很好，直至他長大。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2Wk9mAX9Y
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1pEF7HiDG
細雨紛紛，人欲斷魂。阿明驀地抬頭望向肅殺天空深處，確認天外依然沒有天。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0IqIME4Z3
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoscFnf84qG
但他意外瞄見一扇半開的窗。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgngckXkXc
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V9ajm9KQV
旁邊大廈正在進行外牆翻新工程，棚架聳立，層層泥綠色安全網保障了工人生命安全，卻保護不了粗心住戶的財物。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIMhC0EftL
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8LpvfSFAU
機會來了。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgP4ePZLm9
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHypVM1dou
阿明熟練地攀上棚架，潛入屋內。屋內無人，亦無防盜攝影鏡頭。安全。四處搜刮看。沒啥特別，現金不過二千，珍寶首飾欠奉，最值錢的估是電視。不過阿明絕未笨得偷電視。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1OQmUHAGx
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRORCMcQ9Ov
食物反倒勾起阿明興趣，接連吃上三個即食麵。飲飽食醉，頓感無聊，在屋內四處逛逛看。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3W8V5CK5R
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K4noRcj9s
許是個典型三人家庭：爸爸、媽媽、孩子。孩子是個女的，見那粉紅色牆身就知道；主人房雙人床上只有一個枕頭，暗暗道出男女主人關係欠佳；書房有摺床，證明之前的推論沒有錯的可能。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4Z2H80pOe
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCE1eaGrWU
到浴室去。首先映入眼簾的是座廁，但阿明最為在意的是面盆上方的那面掛鏡。說不上乾淨，亦算不上骯髒，硬是有一片似有還無的濛濛水痕掛在本應清澄的鏡面。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3fByPwZTC
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVXjFlIKrQ
看來不舒服，心裡不舒服——這令阿明想起爸爸。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN5eq4GR64
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lR36yCDY6
假裝看不見掛鏡，轉身小便去。水聲滴滴，在寂靜浴室中尤顯突兀。心緒不寧。便後，低頭洗手。想望掛鏡，目光卻有意無意避開掛鏡範圍。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZuD4UToxA
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeBObqEkJX
心虛——那天，他與爸爸大吵一場，意外打破浴室掛鏡。爸爸盛怒將阿明趕出家門，他自此沒有固定的家。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mp9D9rAfg
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBUNeJhfQj
洗手後，到主人房休息去。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC5Wzqsune
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNfKdFUKYp
輾轉反側。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWgUlqMfRQ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff1TVZtTdv
奈不住。找來清潔劑和抹布，用力把掛鏡擦得光光亮亮。望鏡，鏡中人賊眉賊眼，滿腦子歪思歪念。要不得。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9eX0XKKYB
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaRbiueneZ
「這傢伙要不得！隨他走！」爸爸聲音猶在耳邊，媽媽和妹妹的哭喊求饒之聲不絕於耳。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ibGhHQxdL
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZxBZc5F6V
阿明對鏡苦笑，笑自己執著。放下抹布，再次回到主人房去。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHXDG61AUv
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPFO0wlNRm
睡床上，閉目養神。聽到室外風聲嗖嗖，嗅到枕頭上殘留著戶主的洗頭水香氣，漸漸分不清楚被褥的溫度是自己的或是戶主的……425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qpPjjuUoz
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PZfRTn5xK
日，悄悄冒出頭來。阿明乘著八時許的繁忙時段，他混入上班的住戶當中離開大廈。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7y40Flvsl
不消數天，偷來的二千元經已花光。阿明不得不想辦法弄點錢，同時奇怪為何幾天以來沒有聽到任何有關自己作案的報導。難道戶主沒有回家，沒有發現住所被爆竊？425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN1bGAXp1b
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq6vw8BYp6
夜裡，他回到那幢大廈去，發現保安沒有明顯加強，於是再次潛入那戶去。同樣的廳，同樣的傢俬擺位，偏偏茶几上多了一張字條。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h0CjL0T2j
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2SnXVrb4j
「感謝你為我清潔鏡子。我上夜班的，歡迎你隨時夜訪。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJQvGPTKlI
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyg8Z7ndqI
阿明惴惴不安——是陷阱嗎？425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWcq2nqj2o
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ73k0Ty9n
不。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcetXBRSEh9
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy6y942PZa
他在雪櫃找到大量新鮮食材，亦在大門附近發現未拆包裝的新拖鞋。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK7mCrY6OY
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9O1vyIyeX
彷彿是為他準備的。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3IjNVTViv
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCcUOAsuig
飽餐一頓後，他再次在屋內四處探索，試圖找到更多關於這戶人家的線索。女兒房和書房五臟俱全，偏偏欠缺生活氣息：所有物件齊齊整整，一塵不染，像擺設，像佈景。主人房相對比較貼近現實——地上有長髮，衣櫃內的女裝或宜或皺，妝枱上護膚品排列得序中有亂，垃圾桶內有紙巾團和破信封。這證明了單住僅住有一人，也就是女戶主。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmP5pt9rhw
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsiPdwyt01
原來是個女的。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZytZdoOwM
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s2AxBd8eQ
阿明腦袋不期然冒起一張臉——前妻？425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZDbsZKXq7
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjesSc8rLp
阿明當年被捕入獄的時候，妻子已懷有兩個月身孕。他刑滿出獄後聯絡不上她，聽說她早已墮胎，另覓良緣。阿明自覺理虧，也就沒有進一步尋找她……425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYyjKrnRG0
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvZRiZidmR
意難平。繼續翻找，奈何找不到更多有用的信息。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfADkaeitOy
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPrWgtrskg
似乎女戶主是刻意藏起來的。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQwFT16gX2
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmiDi7eZ1N
罷。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZvC66veVp
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhCdlFlc6G
阿明環顧全屋，驀地覺得佈局似曾相識，像極與前妻同住三年的家。輕嘆一聲，不知哪來的衝動驅使他全屋打掃一番。彷彿回到那段快樂日子。他有努力的原因！他有生存的希望！他有心深念掛的愛人！425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNsTuTL2DT
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FA0FEZT3L
阿明雙手忙個不停，腦袋裡全是前妻的臉。他後悔了，可惜往事只能回味。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXGSzE05oB
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF3wkGs7qs
離開單位前，他在廳中茶几上的字條潦上幾筆：「謝謝。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l7ItFvptE
「下班後，看見全屋清潔整齊，工作中所受的委屈一掃而空。謝謝你。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RImLx0eUB
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi4AhRJlMk
「你是否喜歡吃牛腩味即食麵？我發現你對這個口味尤感興趣，會多買。要來吃！」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBPn1oC6OD
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwA9aVejyF
「煲了青紅蘿蔔豬骨湯。放在微波爐加熱即可飲用。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBkz8lclf8
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdWwaq05c9
「快到聖誕，打算焗火雞。你喜歡黑椒味或是傳統醬料味？會預留一份給你。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4dt4EIRjU
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPaUsQRRAO
「今天是平安夜。我佈置了聖誕樹，漂亮嗎？喜歡嗎？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkinuYMAj3a
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4vqmPhnXG
五顏六色的聖誕樹下，阿明對著樹頂那顆散發柔和光線的星星徹底卸下心房，哭了。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIPWlMwUjw
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcFskAyc2M
敞大的屋子空蕩蕩，女兒房沒女兒，主人房沒主人，只有一個冒昧闖入的賊人。恐怕女戶主是個寂寞的人，寂寞得會對一個不認識的賊人放下戒心，也正如阿明自身會對一個任由宰割的陌生人投放感情。想要親眼望望對方……425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MhVHrXVRd
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnbeilVV7h
不！這是不智的行為！必須停止！馬上離開！425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHtZ7tVAFz
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzW218322o
雙腿忽爾變得沉重，無法動彈。他對不曾見面的女戶主已然投放太多感情，欲斷難斷——他希望對方其實是自己的前妻，說早已原諒他，想要跟他一起生活下去；他希望對方其實是自己的親妹，說父母對他牽腸掛肚，一直等待他回家團聚；他希望對方其實是自己的母親，說每天特意打開窗戶，好讓親愛的兒子隨時找她……425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWrns9uLeU
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjQjoPOLo8
鑰匙聲倏忽傳來，大門門把扭開，進入單位的是一名長髮女子。沒待女子身影停下，阿明立即奪門而出，直衝往後樓梯。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHxb4IWVTr
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiuPqJpFxi
承受不了！他無法承受美好幻想破滅一刻！他無法承受真相浮現帶來的赤裸現實！425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAdzWb0F7c
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdwEdFZfbp
無論對方僅是一個素未謀面的陌生人，抑或真是他的前妻、媽媽或妹妹，他都接受不來。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNqSZWKXCA
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRlYwMHqYo
他恐懼，深怕結局不如自己所想。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmurIcRGEYx
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8Do3ekOoJ
既然如此，那就讓結局不要來。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPwL2szuqs
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItA6NxQXWb
大街上，細雨紛紛，人欲斷魂。阿明驀地抬頭望向肅殺天空深處，確認天外依然沒有天。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbViECciuo
