七月第一個星期六,烏雲蓋頂的早晨。我們沿著步道慢跑,運動背心和皮膚之間滲上一層熱汗。我看向隨行的二人,小兒子康朗還很有活力,妻子雯霞則搖搖頭,看來體力到頂了。453Please respect copyright.PENANATnMydWtC0P

「跑完這一圈,我們去吃早餐吧。」我說。453Please respect copyright.PENANAjrZBa1SRsh
453Please respect copyright.PENANAFGJjP2Se0M
康朗精神的大聲喊好,雯霞頓了一下才靜靜的點頭。我們放慢步速,在步道外圍緩步。453Please respect copyright.PENANA0PPJuEhKPk
453Please respect copyright.PENANA1Fn9IwVxeA
「早安,雯霞。早安,小康朗。」熟悉的聲音從後接近,「早安,康和。」453Please respect copyright.PENANAtl8UDRNgZy
說話的中年男與我並肩而行,我嘴巴半開,一副呆鈍的表情。453Please respect copyright.PENANAifHa10l91r
453Please respect copyright.PENANAlembwgaFU7
「早安,華叔叔。」康朗大聲喊道。453Please respect copyright.PENANAR4i8JQfJEF
453Please respect copyright.PENANAt1Nf1Wi0po
「早安,阿華。」我接著說,「抱歉,我忘了繳付上月的月費,所以……」我伸手向半空比了比。453Please respect copyright.PENANAoausGreQbJ
453Please respect copyright.PENANADgtfakTzU3
「我懂,我也試過忘了月費。是挻不方便的,平時一些理所當然的事也辦不到。只要到服務店補交就好,一切又會回復正常。」阿華說。453Please respect copyright.PENANArBk1WptCe1
453Please respect copyright.PENANAbNbqBXACa0
「我待會就去辦。」453Please respect copyright.PENANAlV527qSNso
453Please respect copyright.PENANAG4KQmuAt2u
阿華揮手道別,往步道内圍跑開。我們走完餘下的路程便離開步道,前往鄰近的露天廣場。厚厚的雲層仍未散去,令廣場蒙上一層陰影。453Please respect copyright.PENANANTSKCPEoKR
453Please respect copyright.PENANAjVHLrpXZAb
我徑自走向常去的茶座,卻被雯霞從後拉住。453Please respect copyright.PENANArMVLXlD0DR
453Please respect copyright.PENANARcoOTSiUl5
「你要去那?忘了自己被切斷服務了嗎?」她說。453Please respect copyright.PENANA4ihTQnZRQq
453Please respect copyright.PENANAit0q6MChpS
我仿然大悟,搔搔鼻子,「現在的我連去取號都辦不到。」453Please respect copyright.PENANAmQsdYXeTNt
453Please respect copyright.PENANASTwoYQRDTN
「我們去排隊取號,你去服務店補交月費後再來會合。」453Please respect copyright.PENANAc8gdp2CPe2
453Please respect copyright.PENANApj8cp5tA6l
我小聲應好,獨自離去。服務店在廣場另一邊,是一間不起眼的小店,只有忘了用電子轉帳繳付月費的蠢蛋才會光顧。店内豎著三部有大螢幕的機台,每部機台之間由膠板分隔。453Please respect copyright.PENANAMuMaDgmGlV
453Please respect copyright.PENANAQOdolsRxkW
我掏出錢包走到中間的機台前,輕觸螢幕,畫面跳轉:453Please respect copyright.PENANAV6xeIllMqg
453Please respect copyright.PENANAMqRsDrrpdy
「歡迎使用I Eyes服務,請將智網膜對準鏡頭。」453Please respect copyright.PENANALp7iFJ5MHn
453Please respect copyright.PENANAUz9WRnQSeO
我把上身前傾,視線對準螢幕上方的攝錄鏡頭。453Please respect copyright.PENANAkRhqD2BQj6
453Please respect copyright.PENANASNhwCCZwur
「周康和先生登入成功。請選擇服務:」453Please respect copyright.PENANABWO5wINKUX
453Please respect copyright.PENANABaMvEio7eO
我閱覽螢幕上的選單,點選繳費服務,刷卡繳付了上月份的月費。453Please respect copyright.PENANAkC7SYdmb5D
453Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9r5R7oVWu
「繳費成功。閣下的智網膜將於稍後重啟,感謝使用I Eyes服務。」453Please respect copyright.PENANASVoyactYWq
453Please respect copyright.PENANAHkxfIdDKyO
我把錢包收好,步出店外。回到茶座,雯霞和康朗已經就座,我很快的坐到兩人對面。453Please respect copyright.PENANAl12BQezShy
453Please respect copyright.PENANAzMspdIrTnj
「我為你點了A餐和熱咖啡。」雯霞兩眼發直對著無人的位置說話。453Please respect copyright.PENANAtUtOeGzFGY
453Please respect copyright.PENANAwVOqp5Fpdn
話音剛落,侍應便把三份早餐兩杯特濃黑咖啡放到我們面前。侍應臉上浮現一個綠色方框,一旁標示他的姓名和職位,代表我的智網膜已經重啟。453Please respect copyright.PENANAN6lvmpTnzR
453Please respect copyright.PENANA4rzbK7Rufg
「請慢用。」侍應微微一笑,轉身離開。453Please respect copyright.PENANAdQk8OCYLQY
453Please respect copyright.PENANAOM2lBY6m0j
雯霞和康朗面前各飄浮著一張虛擬屏幕。雯霞隨手拿起一件多士塞到嘴裡,眼睛緊盯著屏幕,另一手撥弄操作。康和半身趴在桌上,尊心觀看屏幕上的卡通片。453Please respect copyright.PENANAW14fw79cz2
453Please respect copyright.PENANAgNGt87ENuB
我拿起耳杯,輕吹杯上的白煙。調整一個舒適的坐姿,一邊享受藍天白雲,一邊喝下苦澀的黑咖啡。453Please respect copyright.PENANACzB5gxuSfz
