命運之神無色無相卻存在，主宰一切生命興衰。此刻，衪就在聖殿裡，充實空間每一角。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3ow1p0ON0

「神聖的命運之神啊！為何作此安排？」靈感女神秀臉微頷，萬般順從的姿態，惟隱若滲出那萬分之一點的無奈。人類存活那麼多年，辛辛苦苦建立一切。豈可因為命運之神一句話而終結所有文明與智慧？363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovknVjjH7e
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ644VO3cMJu
「因為人類的快樂。」命運之神簡潔回答，話中蘊含永恆不變的嫉妒。靈感女神不敢抗議，拾起地上的五線譜黯然退下。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGQgHZw9Jb

曲，經已譜好。此事沒挽回餘地。曲子哀怨動人，是愁人的仙音。惟想及要配上絕佳歌詞，靈感女神不禁皺起眉頭。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB3SM6uCAR

她不討厭人類，甚至為人類著迷。他們的進步實在令她驚訝。她只把「靈感」賜予其中一人，沒料到他竟會傳揚開去。經過數千多年，人類才有今日文明。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPwQR5xtax

靈感女神可說是文明之母。她又怎忍心看著自己的孩子死去？363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj1WGioNbc

但她曾看過一次。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGhLvtPzV3

她很寂寞。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2LvSF5kEB
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89h1Ny0JPz
她會做的，除了創作，只有創作。拿著羽毛筆，左寫寫，右畫畫。這麼就過了一天。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QSIiS3MZZ

「很悶啊！」她需要一個伴。她走到凡間，左挑右選，選了一個人類寶寶，精緻的，可愛的，胖胖白白的。落入她温暖的仙懷，寶寶笑過不停，異常開心。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitmGY8Xs2X
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R2B8gnacy
她蹤身一躍，飛起了。寶寶在清風中哈哈大笑。「也是的！他未曾飛天！帶他回神殿吧！」她一直往上望，想得出神。待會兒要先替他泡花瓣浴，然後來一頓豐富大餐。他喜歡吃甚麼呢？軟綿綿的雲？熱呼呼的陽光？冷冰冰的雪花？還是她最愛吃的……363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9hy3SVB0u
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75SLnQ2YkP
她全然沒留意到寶寶的變化。由起初笑不攏嘴，突然長出濃密的毛髮，繼而出現皺紋，老去，死去，乾化……那僅是數秒間的事情。直至萎縮了的嬰屍碎成粉末，靈感女神才驚覺懷中生命已然消逝。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEkH9Lgne5

成為神祇是萬物心願；奈何做神祇是何其寂寞！363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEViGdBN7a

她以樹木形態呆呆獨自生存數百萬個世紀。眼看同類死去活來，她羨慕了多少個晝夜。但她知道自己與眾不同，肯定將有奇蹟發生於她身上。她渴望成為神祇，得到自由。風吹過時，她的葉子不是沙沙作響，而是猛唸「自由、自由」；她的根無時無刻都在散發渴求自由的因子。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAMgai4qYD
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFekctRKlAL
偏偏她與自由無緣。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U4xIN9JCV

某日，奇蹟來臨，命運之神眷顧她，使她成為神祇。成形了！有四肢五官，還有智慧。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfzgSzjYTA

成為神祇又如何？她仍舊寂寞不堪。孤獨使她尖叫、抓狂。她只需一個伴而已。竟是這麼簡單卻難辦！363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjwqs6Ya8p

天神們沒生育能力，亦沒時間互相結交。哪像人類幸福？她注定只有孤獨的份兒。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZuBDEjxUQ

「這是命運。」命運之神悄悄說，同樣孤獨的衪在微笑。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6QvKfN8Cp

他們沒幹甚麼特別的，只是拿出博物館內的老古董CD機，緬懷一番。他們在大廣場播放靈感女神三千年前寫下的曲子，跟可愛又可恨的世界道別。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRDGkqWkHV

在場市民聽畢，無不被感動，卻不帶絲毫表情，不悲不喜不憤，只是悄悄地在心裡驚嘆著曲子的美妙。他們早知道末日會來臨，只是料想不到，這一天會是此等安寧。無人感到懼怕。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A41k9RS7v
