愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriiFQP5Acp
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o2RRRr4kf
但準確來說，是前攝影師。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxHcVaXp0n
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T23mZeUrG
「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。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHc0HkpL7d
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PWOzAvtFi
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZk9cMwsz9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHItvf4NvAp
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5XuA7n92S
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAeuSNcsM0
「好靚係唔係？」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPNqVcB71X
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F5qLXkhAK
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT06vouXnD
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFftyCAknt
「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。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7jtZQeY9L
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z6S4Wakht
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqHs8iFf6W
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFh8VxLFXO
「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……」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy3hBkvUUJ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUES6xGfnLx
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ244c0s9Y68
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG5QTdY6C9
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZHbuoBCo0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJIHRSEmJS
「返去嘅理由…」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vCTfhTsJ6
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK6ayfy2SZ
「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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO2DiKyh5C
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7EZ0s4cM7
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。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKqWjOilcH
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGPZatxdUj
「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。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoErYiq4iCu
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI6T5oJxm7
我心中一沉。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIjWlhT7GS
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTmwKKfaLX
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhRtc3JtHO
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwvwSXqFfT
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkKmAxMxw9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI4aLEREHw
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwry0CibE3
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMLXFK640G
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYcTp72oC1
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yCUVu3RWj
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWjHIBAOIV
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoulsEWm21t
「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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqszFQ6rji2
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmvfavthmC
「我始終想再睇多次。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMODUU6eXhX
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7qtlaAw0h
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtz4aSNv0F
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSLSeWiG9m
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0wCD97gar
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwXH62JNuw
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…？358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxjNkR9EfI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbEevYw8qV
甚麼跟甚麼。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuc5XJ7ttY
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALiBcvPuzG
「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。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpy4ixRUvB
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTCaBm6yte
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDNWkaRKrn
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmbUcSoScH
「例如——」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8bZhsLK6X
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO9sHAGWq8
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrWXqkN8LT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoFanWUnWk
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfZaVGqpTu
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr73CgobCkH
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnY2FUxQaV
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA1x0bWDMO
「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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPKvFxd6MN
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCaEI9iwu4
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJPipUVJQJ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfGfbS79Nq
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S8YzEDPg3
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9R4T008u5
「Hall 2B？」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9qHiDPo7y
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5OMGoxeiK
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」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RX7m08lQb
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxteGUuijz
「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？」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkBwGSLha4
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSQgjUaKJC
我點點頭：「嗯。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX1NJBXQKR
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8eZLRk7v5
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y9umYwqBJ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajzwK0v1QN
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMb8xp1GEM
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIjZeyq9fm
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKO32uB2tq
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYci1YT285C
「嘎——」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzERpH1rWk
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLscmq5bMwe
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！358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrc4cCNA2a
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdPW5WFbLD
「呢度……！」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO26jW2kEZ7
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHpEoFGtts
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8FCKI0nwE
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTiB7E9qTI
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……358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9SigFtkJb
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pzi5V7PtM
「咦？」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TqfVYL1A8
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsFZA5FzDZ
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY2kNN20r3
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9WntjPm9e
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLoXAKr6yl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8W4UYKEhZ
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1349Fkr07a
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzJVJN9uSW
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdniv0Xfzx
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfNxF3UfbU
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUETZ1a3Aa
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalhuoaLK1u
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaQRkryast
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRcH1S32Mf
「呢度係……」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WbEfkiDph
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLZXWSAukt
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ53nca1Ewy
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLp68SfV8B
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4qQ66t8HM
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5yr0jyO6d
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。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeCpWf194K
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83yntZ9Tvn
「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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDulywgzULB
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbjufU21XO
「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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvMTeOk7fy
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhY2Dme4Ea
就在那瞬間，我看到了。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOs5WzBycy
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizmc9l6Zxj
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！358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9uQMIefD8
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nXAqoagSt
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kg0gOmsww
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4IzsqHKBI
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl3vXi4BMj
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMic8pRfk9
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？358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LaiC53nJa
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ184F2BSr5i
「我地行呢邊。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKvppP5bCL
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgXLlR0CKi
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxwo9un8xl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxCHeD3PUV
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！358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76oBRDtLjb
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qS5iiZXxk
「嘎——」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCE8U7AK6b
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUCZT08TWA
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！358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A29ESdLvt
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4AIDS88jC
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhElr6UoNbn
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVrXCGxDjl
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9YMX2Yhr2
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZFIHkz6Xf
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLziNaZuPH
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XahiznlYM
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaQEGZ5NEX
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ow9poSqNe
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwhRVk1jbL
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jbPDIdv44
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvyhQQ03LA
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YHddT2r6V
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6RCbsS9rB
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0rpfzCIVR
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVv7xV3LmD
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5vCrnznpw
但唯有那一句不變。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoixuI67IT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcndjFucqa
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUpYK5y9cq
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltFGqOQn23
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
