愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZPuNHIaC0
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaaXTcaePK
但準確來說，是前攝影師。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAErA7o2Tb
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM1baP3uhB
「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。」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOZkAG4dc6
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJPnQxgVOB
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。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzdfpjtglH
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCKimCnFop
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。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIsL0zCKwy
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP7JlyiKUI
「好靚係唔係？」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaozwkmH2b7
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d5JVSLel8
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd7xiEI2iP
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNBnX5DWRO
「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。」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8VbfbW04O
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrNedLDyLM
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGvi1Qm7GO
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LErhqHAE6
「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……」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKLwe4qTFJ
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx72ctuSiB
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY1X1dz97Y
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdu62WKbdm
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE2PZznojk
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiapIcjKwYB
「返去嘅理由…」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGRkLMKCLS
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO2iR27LCs
「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。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RkPvsRXEb
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yyVTqVAVU
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。」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSAleWwBCZ
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6SJYYSmOx
「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。」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd83jCvjjNn
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX6xGUEfUE
我心中一沉。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGLvKBNoQc
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImk51rtLxv
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP8AEI2A73
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QIHCAQlQf
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。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkTL19tDzW
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZcA1pefru
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLZ51JxN1y
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWYT0utLcy
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzb2SZQ2yF
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNZJOwXljx
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIxlV3gWvL
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO8ArQC7rT
「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。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ar4yyi4K5
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2ownmenAV
「我始終想再睇多次。」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGRXj6UgVa
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAEfqTNjHq
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mFNjJ4bar
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69dtWflarb
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpWBffFnQo
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxlUD3Blr2
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…？508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqrwbNmEGp
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5BnKcNeMp
甚麼跟甚麼。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7cNZc7M0N
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KktR1dZ1q
「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。」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDbECLzapc
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V49gCvJb1
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F5JEgyD8E
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrYaWN7Gie
「例如——」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc9nLOJ0wn
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzu8q5k5Xb
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。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllXBvBL67o
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2oelMrkUN
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX8mlWS4Jw
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5n79yZYAm
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiYYG1uHl8
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcTvfFbAPa
「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。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxEQ8c3gh2
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXCyQqgqEa
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。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE52Muricx
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XWTN7RgsI
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdA3nm3jFT
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9PWUYzLvn
「Hall 2B？」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGpD0PDrNJ
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBktVwQKqDw
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」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EiZEaItBt
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c6pIwtg6l
「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？」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sjb5CJEft
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHdhbnIySc
我點點頭：「嗯。」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPhqsjvmxH
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr92aC2j1d
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKoyFfVwEM
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgE20yK798
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUplJI7BAc
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04ETLDyxT2
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6JcacQsPY
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw8Q36EDHZ
「嘎——」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEChJNJNQcD
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYutwBfkWM
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！508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDod2AA8WK
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWY7Tf0ri1
「呢度……！」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiEuJpH66J
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPZzF8uXzg
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。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWR1w853ID
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCx9N5I1vq
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……508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeCLsnUMpP
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJrSCriyFX
「咦？」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkMvzIEPER
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pFyBQIkBg
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhDe1e4MxO
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjDsQ3EQOs
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOlY0jTJ2J
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNJtBmJAZr
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSmYi6h9TE
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZoH2RI0Ny
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。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCZy9jUwvu
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x0ge41ctH
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV9VKYG6Mu
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNUrDZL7Ec
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。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6FuxW7XYL
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYIUPW6Kfu
「呢度係……」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQtyLPqH4y
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dD2YdD6h2
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。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvysV6ZlnY5
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS7n3AY0WP
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzUGYaezlH
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6DVzvYUGc
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。」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWC0VBHJBc
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdOhtLYCxN
「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。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrijhFLF3ZG
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaoLdOTUvv
「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。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSeMeCBJMj
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhX4QeasxU
就在那瞬間，我看到了。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA15lvS6YSi
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG8Q6IyDxJ
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！508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5nv2qgbvg
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTDLYGmPfo
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3CziUKnGn
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSbn1788ea
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dLhs8gEif
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9TwHfr3si
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？508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpfZigBDPT
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEs6RICiMh
「我地行呢邊。」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4MOc2LADg
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S3yl4wZb1
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。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vch2H5GvR
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TQkhz0qgd
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！508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwiozmJaUN
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAETbExVwmb
「嘎——」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkFJTA69jK
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe1Zxn0CLS
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！508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUyA3iUhFL
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQgPgmVfsB
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0qbvFkJaA
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT6YU7xpcd
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqUyYSCSh4
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRfQM6EuvZ
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxZexOFcaD
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VKjXtsyjF
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。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSmwxswxen
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSVmNs33CU
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T14hcbXnH
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sgqouM8wx
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V74yUtcjg
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfmPOZjWzV
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEN4Owo0wH
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoNcM3Pc81
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。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEJDX6j1TM
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJH7y5KR7m
但唯有那一句不變。508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU8mRTk8lM
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWDNUH99l3
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXQfRhgR8g
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wKsZ8725c
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。8964 copyright protection504ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFZPFc83VF 維尼
