愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwolsYFUyxm
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCQFBDBYY3
但準確來說，是前攝影師。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMYSUOtQsM
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sOURIVj1n
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zwH1xAPMa
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRpK2A523d
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CpTQ7mEqo
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYoafO8Fxm
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKEdwSN2lv
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCSPJwuKgr
「好靚係唔係？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH4OHVKIdU
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU05EJGTuyc
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxmjWLAZ3r
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVjEHbHnl7
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLutz0E6Wfw
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9noDA05Zxj
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2EgqBBuV1
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG3QCfkdw2
「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……」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wk1OPUtsI
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhX1TwDpWg
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn6OOUMiuv
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXs5G26XgR
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI69uWq6BX
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKB9WczBTs
「返去嘅理由…」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDRrV8eVKd
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkLpGb13FD
「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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiutRb11wpG
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73Lq1WJB9k
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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3R0HgNglr
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fCrNPiZbR
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb3KIuI5R4
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiymDmcCuEC
我心中一沉。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteO161DggS
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w2vEEBLz3
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf7QuTX31k
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJrHZEJieT
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6Xw4Q64Cg
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdCQw8FVOf
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi2KnPmALz
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSpCjo1zRQ
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeNVE3n9fR
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqKCl5mpZF
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxewx9UjxA
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUcoEY9xpT
「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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5nmyXtmfu
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz3crSCziT
「我始終想再睇多次。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i0rtVuyuf
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdyR3RHghR
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW9xFPko1D
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhs4jOHTAp
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL3gTE4gNM
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCGpYUApRS
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…？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV9dTUlolB
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLnkEzgf0T
甚麼跟甚麼。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVqYC16hQO
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FpIAT7g8C
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLVZWws6M8
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uMHpR790H
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95vIzgtnyw
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorkoNi4EQV
「例如——」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9oAfto0OY
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdwkqGx0is
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZtXKhxdxU
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDvf5XZ51i
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1Q99ihiFw
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsIZj85wKa
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rj7lAUbrm
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlTw6UGnZl
「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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dDaa8E942
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSZ7aQ6lCC
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8FTLDzeMj
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1FaqbO5cS
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3325IayDBe
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CUx1Gb3Ml
「Hall 2B？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ3qxPpd6m
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQsu0aIJNH
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」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVnGVBP6d3
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEJuHIemQT
「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？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8QcH8315G
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CIksZ7Bhb
我點點頭：「嗯。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ybxMz5Tx9
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHJn1BERtP
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfmfNWJz7j
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSmrNgYDCz
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp783gjKOS8
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvReYZmefaW
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSg4cJfaTV
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z2Y6Eb0MO
「嘎——」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTxkxLvAJ1
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMbIkK1scM
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！350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CbpXh34Nd
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aBtGpbODW
「呢度……！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w2ggrpbBU
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA5vpX76n3
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEY1VZPEjn
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeENchYtmg
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……350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUEV423M2q
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7zFHFLlB7
「咦？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK47XxT8Sd
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbWOrpymAT
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRys6m896gP
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG5v4AvNLX
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjNqQEsIa8
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJNAVdkMrP
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNKbxuz5O1
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ9O98l1bG
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaBQqFUtpa
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDEzuTnk6U
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3qczvsuxi
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmUh07ppPf
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPje8qDvIwG
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdaMvqocLF
「呢度係……」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJITKVXp7Yw
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd9B8sQF46
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq76lLfE4B
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8iRV7Odtx
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5XRnmitAp
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwPULHBpzh
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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fP4iNvqIY
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q69GJXTao
「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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rwcHyIJ5S
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5BgCRsPnF
「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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VjYS0ia6U
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgM59mS3Ke
就在那瞬間，我看到了。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWyIPAJ4ZE
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop96MWgx7j
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！350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAjP74EqFr
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTnafHuALI
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlqddOAotl
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfVT4RcEU3
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuhifBIyFC
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2swInOoqI
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？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BNKVKdTwg
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdDfyTbDyF
「我地行呢邊。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21P58k5S31
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm4SigmwlA
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxItjbI7klo
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtCQiiqLYG
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！350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXYbDrjSVz
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KV1oSCJPN
「嘎——」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAOKK4BJTr
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7YlEKjEZJ
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！350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNfgmlEFud
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnwSDIe2Ue
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGfsJzLzt0
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPXaffMGoK
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxdKojhoe6
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe0NP2cgcI
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hfQHgNv7G
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQGR7BMNXN
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNRp3tGNG7
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2wyDJZkNf
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdrchkVSum
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRvejdEoFz
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiHZXRFC5G
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL3clENZnt
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Sl0AI8TLx
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN88uGaxuc
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdN4ftZbfz
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw8zoyyOdp
但唯有那一句不變。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BB9vIQ2k6
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYkvCguTBO
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1WdW0yLAe
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4irjDTYoc
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
