「你不是跟朋友喝酒嗎？怎麼回來了？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bWZHmRs75
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC9nHbmgMt
「本來是的……誰料有人邀請了那煩人的老頭，害我沒心情喝酒，那就借故提早離開。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKImsCqYW0G

「你在說釣到巨型馬林魚的老人？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbBiyJpgGw
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTaMr7Vpg6
「不就是他！每天四處吹噓自己多厲害！噢！真討厭！而且……只有天曉得他是真的釣到巨型馬林魚，或是湊巧在淺灘上撿到巨型魚骨！」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZks8TOGZN
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTEjCX1fWP

「話雖如此，我硬是沒能相信一個瘦削老頭可以單憑個人之力戰勝鯊群，將巨魚拖回岸，更何況他使用的只是傳統手划船和魚叉、刀子、船槳之類的簡單工具！這根本不合邏輯。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhIrzEeRAL
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1RRHISh65
「邏輯的確重要，但『相信』更重要。人生總有沒能解釋的事情，硬要找答案只會苦了自己。倒不如暫且放下理智，好好欣賞勵志的故事吧。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnaqRNlq32
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtmIOyziDe
「你講及重點了！知道我為何不喜歡那故事嗎？不就是因為那老頭硬要將得而復失的慘痛經歷講成勵志故事！」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp1FBzKF3y
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa7GgCiXdt
「你用這種角度去解讀那故事，的確沒有錯。不過，為人生增添一點希望、一點意義，不是挺好嗎？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHCRrguykz

與母親擁抱後，我到浴室抹身，然後回睡房去，瑟縮被窩裡。無法入睡。越是想要放空，越是察覺大量零碎卻不相干的生活片段在腦袋裡晃來晃去，十分礙眼。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpWTC6SroW
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzmyzhzMdy
我不再強逼自己入睡，窮目盯著窗外那片無窮的漆黑，看不見天和海的交界。也許天和海已然在我不注意的時候悄悄消失，窗外的確只剩下虛空的漆黑。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFAberEjeU

驀地憶起早前經過碼頭時，有一遊客向我問路。他來自內陸的大城市，因聽聞有人捕獲巨型馬林魚而慕名前來拜訪。我仔細打量他。他衣著講究，談吐有禮，雙目有神，但我不喜歡他——他說羨慕我這以海為伴的漁夫，認為我的生活必定是自由自在的。聽罷，我笑而不語，沒有告訴他老頭的住處，逕自走開了。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU5XKTx0bW
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvtQzJyfIK
為何有人會喜歡海？無邊無際，看不見盡處，看不見出路，看不見任何可以掌握在手的事物。他說自由自在，我說了無意義。出海撒網，收網回航。我用魚蝦蟹的生命換錢，正如大海用我的人生去編寫它的浩瀚故事裡的一個小橋段。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYz2Suw3br
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J4p54UYCo
我依然如此的卑微渺小，儘管我已耗盡力氣去活好我的人生。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XfGPlwtZp
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cF5nh03v1
不忿，不甘，奈何沒奈何。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6rjGLmELn
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVRx8c3raM
世上沒有多少人能夠有幸獨個兒捕獲巨型馬林魚或是打敗鯊群。
月將落，日將出，我在這晦暗不明的時段展開新一天的工作。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfiTOJtLUt
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Np0Hj4FG7
母親勸我不要獨自出海。我不依。心裡總有一股難以言喻的鬱悶需要抒發。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3TTSueO9V
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18awLQ1WY1
海浪微晃，船身有規律節奏地擺動，像搖籃。我的意識逐漸模糊，儘管明知這是不應該的。我應該要與更多船員一併出海，我應該要時刻留意海面情況，我應該要……其實我討厭「應該」……527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w5lwIgCVr
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVz7Owi3na
船身倏忽劇震，我猛然驚醒，發現船尾破損，海水湧入船艙，船隻正在沉沒。發生甚麼事？我甚麼都沒有看見。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktKMFtugJ0
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06yRiVrIZ1
我愣在原地，完全沒有登上救生小艇的打算——抑或是我根本沒有活下去的打算？我不清楚自己是否真的想死，只知這的確是結束沉悶生活的一個絕妙途徑。我竊喜，享受海水的冰冷，享受水壓帶來的窒息感，享受不帶個人意識的寧靜……527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyHd1GAT9D
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymGApQPsFw
「他媽的……」這是我恢復意識後的第一句說話。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmgCwS8zwM

醫生為我檢查，問我是否記得自己的遭遇。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeRbndRum1
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdSXXAvKOu
「我登上了人魚島。」我瞥了瞥掛牆曆，開始撒謊。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NgysHhF5F
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WLiiMm8BK
醫生笑了，再次為我檢查頭部傷勢。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2q3fXHzxU
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj3KwahOUg
「我遇上風浪，船隻沉沒了。人魚救了我，領我登島，告訴我水果和淡水的位置。我花了兩日時間用島上的巨型植物造筏，離開人魚島。臨別時，人魚送我一粒珍珠當紀念品。誰料回程路上我再遇風浪……」我繪影繪聲，比手畫腳。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDQBK4rM5X
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZGuFSsSxt
醫生開始認真聽我說話，問我珍珠在哪。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5N2SdJzXY
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxO8YONUgv
「在我的褲袋裡……噢！不知道有沒有弄丟呢？」我依稀記得兩星期前，我曾在沿岸石灘撿到一粒小珍珠。我當時隨手把珍珠放在褲袋裡，然後忘記了處理它。我不肯定它是否尚在褲袋裡，但不要緊，我可以說是被海水沖走了。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoMXcQiY8r
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGIHZhJJd2
醫生轉身從抽屜裡取出一粒色澤暗啞、形狀岩巉的珍珠。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o9zuT9NYr
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN3GZd4uQk
「噢！是它！」我當然認得這粒珍珠，就是因為它不漂亮，沒有金錢價值，我才會忘記處理它。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKaSJ2DTxB
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNmttYcPGR
醫生和護士們紛紛露出驚喜神色，說我遇上奇蹟。消息傳千里，大量媒體前來採訪我，甚至有知名作家請纓為我寫下這段奇遇。我樂意之至。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2ievGasRc
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqxcW6XOHk
某夜，我到酒吧買醉，巧遇寂寞的老頭。他不再意氣風發，回復最當初的憔悴模樣。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsydiNAIPDr
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJvWaeqU1U
我上前跟他打招呼。他會心一笑，邀我對飲。彼此談天說地，講女人、講金錢、講大海，偏偏沒有提及巨型馬林魚和人魚島。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsJgIUKUQc
