七月第一個星期六，烏雲蓋頂的早晨。我們沿著步道慢跑，運動背心和皮膚之間滲上一層熱汗。我看向隨行的二人，小兒子康朗還很有活力，妻子雯霞則搖搖頭，看來體力到頂了。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRyYh5y4w8

「跑完這一圈，我們去吃早餐吧。」我說。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBM4r6HOpg
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO29c895txy
康朗精神的大聲喊好，雯霞頓了一下才靜靜的點頭。我們放慢步速，在步道外圍緩步。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lDWnM4JfS

「早安，雯霞。早安，小康朗。」熟悉的聲音從後接近，｢早安，康和。｣455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ2BuT5IuG
說話的中年男與我並肩而行，我嘴巴半開，一副呆鈍的表情。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm5UWdt2zT
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQygo6J7Pj
「早安，華叔叔。」康朗大聲喊道。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI4WyRWyCq
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8dWYaslg1
「早安，阿華。」我接著說，｢抱歉，我忘了繳付上月的月費，所以……｣我伸手向半空比了比。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFLHaba9Rz
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzHwJK6EHU
「我懂，我也試過忘了月費。是挻不方便的，平時一些理所當然的事也辦不到。只要到服務店補交就好，一切又會回復正常。」阿華說。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1aDS0JmUs
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu88AAGBCh6
「我待會就去辦。」455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcq4jhlGVH
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNYAS7Rsf5
阿華揮手道別，往步道内圍跑開。我們走完餘下的路程便離開步道，前往鄰近的露天廣場。厚厚的雲層仍未散去，令廣場蒙上一層陰影。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6TFhFAjrU
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9epRpsSE0
我徑自走向常去的茶座，卻被雯霞從後拉住。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LYF2rP0ch
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iuR684BSG
「你要去那？忘了自己被切斷服務了嗎？」她說。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafM4WVlzdD
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7eJ2HwifL
我仿然大悟，搔搔鼻子，｢現在的我連去取號都辦不到。｣455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8atC7PsJW
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSD4PLTmP2
「我們去排隊取號，你去服務店補交月費後再來會合。」455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAaM7aV5TU
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCwNadJGpY
我小聲應好，獨自離去。服務店在廣場另一邊，是一間不起眼的小店，只有忘了用電子轉帳繳付月費的蠢蛋才會光顧。店内豎著三部有大螢幕的機台，每部機台之間由膠板分隔。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkijoI6rxH
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNCxBDyxls
我掏出錢包走到中間的機台前，輕觸螢幕，畫面跳轉：455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tYJnLNSMs
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEcQtkV4V5
「歡迎使用I Eyes服務，請將智網膜對準鏡頭。」455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF3bsov7mp
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECGgW4pNMZ
我把上身前傾，視線對準螢幕上方的攝錄鏡頭。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38f8ysU3Tx
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmXFdVSPOb
「周康和先生登入成功。請選擇服務：」455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1DoHXBKTh
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEyGR4x97f
我閱覽螢幕上的選單，點選繳費服務，刷卡繳付了上月份的月費。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeSMaPUwfO
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2pKrKYT6D
「繳費成功。閣下的智網膜將於稍後重啟，感謝使用I Eyes服務。」455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Au7gBz4rX
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFN3n37hp4
我把錢包收好，步出店外。回到茶座，雯霞和康朗已經就座，我很快的坐到兩人對面。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCqhgANOZZ
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMsIwvmsMG
「我為你點了A餐和熱咖啡。」雯霞兩眼發直對著無人的位置說話。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqaM1SOaGE
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxkfJ3gnq2
話音剛落，侍應便把三份早餐兩杯特濃黑咖啡放到我們面前。侍應臉上浮現一個綠色方框，一旁標示他的姓名和職位，代表我的智網膜已經重啟。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ5CjgiPek
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h7VNCWFU8
「請慢用。」侍應微微一笑，轉身離開。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g2ZoEA1VS
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgOAGfFlcs
雯霞和康朗面前各飄浮著一張虛擬屏幕。雯霞隨手拿起一件多士塞到嘴裡，眼睛緊盯著屏幕，另一手撥弄操作。康和半身趴在桌上，尊心觀看屏幕上的卡通片。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUqQ2VlYaB
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sLJGxOzOO
我拿起耳杯，輕吹杯上的白煙。調整一個舒適的坐姿，一邊享受藍天白雲，一邊喝下苦澀的黑咖啡。455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchccRdASWf
