愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYDaVpLP0V
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMkBm9L8tt
但準確來說，是前攝影師。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx9cbnCzyI
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR0ebogHK9
「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。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDt08eqcyZ
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAvFbHYmbU
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGQVLIj84s
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjrA6hoAlw
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s0S3vZm2F
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuyrqTRLWc
「好靚係唔係？」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mPX57Alxz
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7dboUeyCq
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuS8yKMoml
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHtp5o20hn
「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。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCNdtzM5Vj
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyJUozQ6b5
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu2bBigt6Q
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0z12heQXR
「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……」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2Umlbvspl
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUouJx3YObY
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hvJKR7D45
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9FCdrIw5k
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz8AoGoKh3
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcyq51dmue
「返去嘅理由…」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh8IwUtiNn
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EejEXjfNg
「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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgV8nVBwpJ
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV14aMUOu0o
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。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz73GIQ4H3M
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDgqplflHd
「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。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lqWlxKvcI
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYjLRqJn44
我心中一沉。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PBb4BjK2a
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa33fHAVV2v
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGDaHEeRlR
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCwaOQ7EVk
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPmd7xGEIm
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmANp5AkMF
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2UvLIPGxo
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBblvuIMilN
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzDx5ZYPz0
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRzDfgIiqm
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8KuoA7FIY
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97N5eBb9Ty
「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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWXlOoKjiv
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYgVF5VXI6
「我始終想再睇多次。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpzMrA2gDU
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIabEG8FiY
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwLIlXgCQ2
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTso9eFLm0r
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jEH8IuX9z
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdM9zkBMkz
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…？184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhtudm0tJU
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho8cbCwnwd
甚麼跟甚麼。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHZwLDdh6X
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuXh3BX7AQ
「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。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcMxwNQkhv
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7bVAGaJAj
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy7y4kn8Pm
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnsSNtm9Ma
「例如——」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPOIhcogrn
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFg9jRZBzF
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJW5CUa1ce
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpQxv1Y44d
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3Q40Cskz6
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz06NxTNLo
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJG7JDsXka
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4grBRX0Kcj
「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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnLmPgCytF
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPcsyMbGkT
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai3L3wseEO
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtxduDcL6v
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NV5MyNuk8
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNtDxWNw5D
「Hall 2B？」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX60kmxO6H
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfghIo88TrR
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」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoEzCnzdfe
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg1GdRkhAF
「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？」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr8rH6mmWL
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOgkqevSYf
我點點頭：「嗯。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nVjDGEFmx
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOArnvknRFL
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5GJynug0l
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oeg622lbT
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyMadXylg6
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhOFo47hjG
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfGQAdYF6Z
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5FfWZM0K8
「嘎——」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqlMrpIzm8
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTevk8mkC0
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！184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ56nlHvcpa
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wCPBGj59v
「呢度……！」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFFs8V3iKx
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zpKYaMW7a
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuEQIRwQ8e
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5chtp9XOJ
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……184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqeTwyuc96
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR7ZJa3T9o
「咦？」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt5wtHTr3k
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vmqyXP8M8
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35LbZlREXG
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmJ3zcTsJj
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb2lonIwA4
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre1CYH9bPC
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc2RlfNin1
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOIck9bJAN
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8BPS75e2Q
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyZ5cr6BRL
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEneUeENRGR
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIc7v9b1ul
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5BJIu7Zqn
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH9zfqh0ft
「呢度係……」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39t08Rq2kN
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q2hz7p1XX
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLBfRR4r6C
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrMYyi5RjY
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARqDY9aN9B
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ6pBbO5dX
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。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AuiObUTPq
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQsbGGQHsf
「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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMOEz4R9tF
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFJKniW5Oz
「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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsmUjRYjJE
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBsJyTB9dV
就在那瞬間，我看到了。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJjTSW8X7C
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXhufWe1XV
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！184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBohbfgoI7
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdhpQ9THQ9
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7CeReVKaK
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdlGcX27RO
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGiQllLicz
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sgOQmtqnS
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？184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfILm2rNzg
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAHpl7Y802
「我地行呢邊。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYK3Le6jAM
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGdKhx4oL7
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKovheNweDi
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyWaJthXFC
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！184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPkPRK2ZYM
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcv8hNyVYe
「嘎——」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLpTnDgPNV
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEf1s4Zaod
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！184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMdd2Wncq0
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNnbX4CBxo
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB4uwYP1BU
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoMceM8W7n
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7WdpKmRer
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwquK7agit
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvzibYaezl
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud8jnnvRrJ
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dadRGnJyY
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NLRQId3UC
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSjHhf2eVB
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbdNuBAOk5
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIZ2oxLkhN
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8czfgZCUS
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjgeqUN1Ye
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNrqTFYYSZ
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZfqXbmW8C
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn8KXUxjd7
但唯有那一句不變。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn2G0pSZvP
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEmnEWdY8d
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVoFmRpgxm
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamMbBdgGDO
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
