「你不是跟朋友喝酒嗎？怎麼回來了？」569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Fq8Qzwdf
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIc2ekNGVJ
「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。」569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAyE0FjGVL

「你在說釣到巨型馬林魚的老人？」569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67y9z5GCFm
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9itZ9zw3S
「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！」569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehXSiqci9b

「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。」569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk68fcFky8
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc44uUkuQ2J
「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。」569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zQeBUKZRB
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57GiMiGqHa
「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！」569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE4gt6I8yq
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUELaL5hVQ
「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？」569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9kkGk9LTJ

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。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHPzIfyMGQ
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrRr12qROM
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。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZanClbDuKv

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。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrdF6wYyMT
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIOedwEmAY
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。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj5SixXL7q

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。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iZbAkKdDD
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYfxcGuKvE
不忿，不甘，奈何沒奈何。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5fFP73XoU
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi8mvnSseo
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。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVBhUJwOEf

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。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuJD4qOY80
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapSzuLOTCj
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」……569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeoN4DcdrP
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTiNkLwCoA
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。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOEYJ0O6Fr
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYj9RDXRIq
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……569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKAx4oy9aY
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsornvpMEoz
「他媽的……」這是我恢復意識後的第一句說話。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX9HJvl8VM

醫生為我檢查，問我是否記得自己的遭遇。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JDoBaIdMN
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm5y0n4qIj
「我登上了人魚島。」我瞥了瞥掛牆曆，開始撒謊。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduOh0MpGk6
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYawy5hDvmQ
醫生笑了，再次為我檢查頭部傷勢。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWeVIXTvcc
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmvT4oufJs
「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。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9skjgYjOe1
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVAclLyAjU
醫生開始認真聽我說話，問我珍珠在哪。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1POrXfbFc
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5tG44HHaW
「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。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczhSAs1I9r
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVS0lbe8kv
醫生轉身從抽屜裡取出一粒色澤暗啞、形狀岩巉的珍珠。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQndXzwPRu8
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYElkWJYjrq
「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。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AM6jRkRRb
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV8YwlIP2T
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。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqDDTsO9af

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。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBNkfhfIWW
569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u9NO3ahfw
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。569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdROmD6Gwp
