男孩出生於一座地下礦坑裡,生活在這裡的其他人,包含他的父母,都在這礦坑裡工作。238Please respect copyright.PENANAHpCJs1twps
238Please respect copyright.PENANAOEpbwUwuNp
每天,當礦鐘響起第一聲時,人們就會從睡眠中醒來,到「上層」指定的地點挖掘礦石,然後將挖出的礦石藉由貨梯運送到「上層」,以換取飲水、食物及其他生活必需品。238Please respect copyright.PENANA3akuxRDucv
238Please respect copyright.PENANASWw7V4QKlg
當礦鐘響了第二聲,他們就會結束今天的工作,回到各自的坑洞裡休息睡覺,等待下一次的鐘聲響起。238Please respect copyright.PENANA4EUPmRdHmO
238Please respect copyright.PENANA3LYngIYGeC
這樣的生活日復一日,已經內化成這些地底居民自然而然的習性,他們終其一生都不會離開這裡,深邃幽暗的狹小坑道就是他們的全世界。238Please respect copyright.PENANA9FAnbuvAMs

男孩的父親曾對他說,這座地下礦坑是很久以前建立的,沒有人知道礦坑的規模,只知道坑道內部錯綜複雜,若是太過深入,可能會永遠迷失其中,再也無法回來。238Please respect copyright.PENANABT6jsD2JAO
238Please respect copyright.PENANACSaB5exiQt
男孩問父親,為什麼沒有人去看看礦坑究竟有多大?238Please respect copyright.PENANADqVP5vnWTM
238Please respect copyright.PENANAy5C8WNM1yd
父親對男孩說,只要在「上層」的指示下工作就能得到溫飽,沒有人會去在意這種無關緊要的事,並叫男孩不要走到坑道的深處。238Please respect copyright.PENANAoq5RgmNMQt
238Please respect copyright.PENANAwKX2DcqEhU
男孩卻想,大人們實在太無趣了,寧願花許多時間做一成不變的無聊工作,卻不想去探究這座礦坑的謎團。238Please respect copyright.PENANA4sVXCn6ACN
238Please respect copyright.PENANAo6VDMCQwCs
那麼只好由他去調查了,他會是第一個發現礦坑秘密的人。238Please respect copyright.PENANAQmW1VqXGQF
238Please respect copyright.PENANAcZoYpF7m0Z
男孩越想越興奮,他是礦坑居民中最為年幼的,還沒有開始工作,所以他趁大人們工作的時候去探索礦坑,並在工作結束的鐘響前回來,沒有其他人知道男孩的冒險,男孩繪製的坑道地圖也越來越大。238Please respect copyright.PENANATxZT8Kz6I1
238Please respect copyright.PENANA5lhpChHaNm
今天,男孩一如往常地拿起提燈,背著塞滿食物的包包,攤開紀錄先前足跡的地圖,獨自行走於昏暗的坑道內,繼續探查還沒走過的地方。238Please respect copyright.PENANAgDpaSepml2
238Please respect copyright.PENANAOXV7h2nHI7
「啪咚!」238Please respect copyright.PENANAbMDgvQ3sgw
238Please respect copyright.PENANAtktmPyYWhO
從某處傳來一道細微的聲響,男孩反射性朝聲音方向看去,發現他之前沒注意到的一處岩縫。238Please respect copyright.PENANAA0UgQgiOAd
238Please respect copyright.PENANAo9f4okYrwk
岩縫的大小剛好能讓身材嬌小的男孩通過,禁不住好奇心的男孩立刻鑽過岩縫,岩縫後的景象令他驚訝地瞪大了雙眼。238Please respect copyright.PENANA4Mfflv6vf4
238Please respect copyright.PENANANMQHFLAyze
此處是由石壁圍攏成的圓弧狀空間,其頂部裂開了一道縫隙,金黃色的明亮光芒便穿過那道縫隙,照射進這幽暗的世界裡。238Please respect copyright.PENANA8KJKCxS5hO
238Please respect copyright.PENANAzDElZg94Ec
即使那道光芒扎得他眼睛有點疼,男孩依然無法移開視線,他像發現了寶藏一般,興奮地跑進那道光之中。238Please respect copyright.PENANAqxZZRAeOg5
238Please respect copyright.PENANAhm5Smvdgai
在光芒的籠罩之下,一股輕柔的暖意瞬間包覆了男孩全身,讓他感到有些訝異,他第一次感觸到屬於光的溫度。238Please respect copyright.PENANApTkxdknZex
238Please respect copyright.PENANAcJEkKi8YTg
「啾啾…...」238Please respect copyright.PENANAbJ3zyWsJz6
238Please respect copyright.PENANASdVfFnSiSX
微弱的鳴叫聲讓男孩看向自己腳邊,他發現一隻鳥兒癱倒在地,虛弱地連拍動翅膀的力氣也沒有,純白色的羽翼滲出點點殷紅鮮血。238Please respect copyright.PENANAAbTeRWDRL5
238Please respect copyright.PENANACcTT3IE9ED
男孩在礦坑裡從沒看過這種動物,他小心翼翼地捧起受傷的鳥兒,驚訝地發現牠的身體比想像中還輕。238Please respect copyright.PENANAWYs26fYAGQ
238Please respect copyright.PENANAvZau45LyY3
男孩抬起頭仰望上方的裂縫,想要看看光芒及鳥兒是從哪裡來的。238Please respect copyright.PENANACb682qY2oB
238Please respect copyright.PENANAELLLL9c41k
然後,映入眼底的,是他從沒見過的天空。238Please respect copyright.PENANAldhe7kbUJr

238Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8ctlSEgJo
男孩瞞著父母,偷偷將受傷的鳥兒帶了回家,用繃帶為牠做簡單的包紮,並餵食米粒和小麥,鳥兒很快恢復了精神,鳴叫聲聽起來多了些活力。238Please respect copyright.PENANAja5YJ0Msil
238Please respect copyright.PENANAdbqWBkQLa3
男孩非常喜歡這隻鳥兒,白淨的身軀摸起來輕盈而柔軟,叫聲也清脆悅耳,不像礦坑裡的蟲子長得詭異又噁心。238Please respect copyright.PENANAqLuMS5l16T
238Please respect copyright.PENANALMb3PDQ6St
男孩輕輕將鳥兒放進用白布墊底的木盒裡,這個木盒本來是男孩用來放在礦坑發現的稀有寶物,現在木盒子已經變成了鳥兒的新家。238Please respect copyright.PENANA6c7aPa3xuJ
238Please respect copyright.PENANAJHpwyXQSTJ
男孩猜想這隻鳥會不會原本是天上的雲朵,每次看著這隻鳥,他就會回想起第一次望見的天空。238Please respect copyright.PENANAY0L5ouroRC
238Please respect copyright.PENANAm51o1SyBIt
那天空如此清澈,是被洗滌過的明淨蔚藍,並摻上幾抹柔白的雲,美得讓他想要投身其中,還有那灑落下來的明亮光芒,他的肌膚彷彿仍殘留著那光芒的溫暖。238Please respect copyright.PENANAAE0s9mN2Xf
238Please respect copyright.PENANARAoSj5tMgn
男孩已經被那縫隙中的天空深深吸引,他停止了長久以來的礦坑探險,每天去看那片狹窄的天空。238Please respect copyright.PENANAmy4Rv1Fhsu
238Please respect copyright.PENANAzOEBwGtUAa
男孩發現天空姿態千變萬化,有時是清澈明淨的湛藍,柔白的雲朵緩緩飄過,溫暖明亮的光芒籠罩著他;有時是深邃靜謐的漆黑,綴滿了明燦的點點星光,像是對他輕訴低語;有時是厚重陰鬱的深灰,攜來紛紛落下的清涼雨水,淋濕他的臉龐。238Please respect copyright.PENANApY33BFoBD6
238Please respect copyright.PENANAQHBJsYjVD8
天空的姿態不斷變換流動,沒有任何一刻的天空是相同的,光、雲朵、星星及雨水,這些只在傳說中聽聞的事物,如今卻能夠無比真實地感觸到,這令男孩感到雀躍不已,貪婪地想將每一刻的天空盡收眼底。238Please respect copyright.PENANAyxCACziqot

男孩的父親曾對他說,很久很久以前,他們的祖先犯下了過錯,使大地被毒素所污染,天空被黑霧遮蔽,所有生命將近死絕,整個世界生靈塗炭。238Please respect copyright.PENANAqZezmZAFbT
238Please respect copyright.PENANAYKLrAR47v9
但是「上層」保護了所有的倖存者,也饒恕了他們的祖先,讓他們到地下礦坑居住,給予他們安全的棲身之所及生活的物資。238Please respect copyright.PENANAXTKNLMhoY8
238Please respect copyright.PENANAXBYKKg0G0R
直到現在,地面仍是被毒素及黑霧籠罩的黑暗世界,但幸虧「上層」的仁慈庇佑,讓他們這些後代子孫能繼續在地下礦坑生活。238Please respect copyright.PENANALdGKCszEe4
238Please respect copyright.PENANAhng9hDf3Tb
父親並沒有理由欺騙他,但男孩親眼所見的的天空,跟父親所說的完全不一樣。238Please respect copyright.PENANAqc4eFXb5gW
238Please respect copyright.PENANAMcAxCjwM6S
如果外界沒有毒素及黑霧,為什麼他們還要在暗無天日的地底礦坑裡生活,所謂的「上層」雖然會給他們物資,但男孩從沒見過來自「上層」的人,他不禁懷疑起「上層」的存在。238Please respect copyright.PENANAl8hhKhUY6q
238Please respect copyright.PENANAxJDAfJWRtb
原本深信不疑的真理,在男孩心中開始產生了動搖。238Please respect copyright.PENANAa1V0eOXs9b
238Please respect copyright.PENANAer8RJQgci9
男孩對此感到害怕,即使他眼中的天空是那麼的美麗,卻漸漸破壞了他認識世界的基礎,讓他不知道該相信什麼。238Please respect copyright.PENANAO7U15La04J
238Please respect copyright.PENANAorIfhW3Mwu
男孩將鳥兒捧在掌心裡,感受鳥兒的重量及觸感,這份能夠碰觸的真實讓他感到安心。238Please respect copyright.PENANAKbrDNetkTC
238Please respect copyright.PENANAlhNH6iKiHH
現在鳥兒的傷勢已經恢復,叫聲更加明快活潑,牠開始拍動翅膀,一瞬間飛離了男孩的掌心。238Please respect copyright.PENANApyT3tUDoLk
238Please respect copyright.PENANA3v5TGGDrkc
男孩剎那間驚慌不已,他趕緊將鳥兒抓了回來,鎖在木盒子裡不讓牠出來。238Please respect copyright.PENANA0fXEi7phYk
238Please respect copyright.PENANAyJrewvG8Yn
鳥兒在木盒裡亂竄亂撞,發出尖銳的鳴叫,像在懇求男孩放牠出來。238Please respect copyright.PENANApY5OOaRo51

男孩緊緊抱住了木盒,蜷縮在角落的暗處默默哭泣。238Please respect copyright.PENANATIBKkUkT7v

男孩的父母察覺他不再像以前那樣活潑好動,他們認為這是好的轉變。238Please respect copyright.PENANAlSMzBOTNTD

男孩的年紀漸漸大了,再過不久就要開始採掘工作,父母希望男孩能從此變得內斂穩重,專注於採礦工作上。238Please respect copyright.PENANAnDZzCrsY1B
238Please respect copyright.PENANAGc3GVIriMa
男孩並不知道父母的心思,他不想放開這隻鳥兒,也開始害怕面對那片天空,他將鳥兒和自己鎖在幽暗的世界裡,卻對此感到難過悲傷,他覺得自己在一片昏暗中載浮載沉,沒有存在的真實感。238Please respect copyright.PENANAY8X2fE8pCV
238Please respect copyright.PENANA6xpsPtjU9t
他想自己不應該去接觸真正的天空,他應該像父母一樣一無所知地在這礦坑工作生活,才是屬於他的人生。238Please respect copyright.PENANA9XBvJt0r42

鳥兒在木盒裡發出斷斷續續的微弱叫聲,似乎比以前更加虛弱,男孩感到擔心及不捨,他會從木盒的孔洞放水和食物進去,卻不知道鳥兒有沒有好好吃下去。238Please respect copyright.PENANABIJJL2intS
238Please respect copyright.PENANAVOIMJQ1E0D
男孩打開木盒觀察鳥兒的狀況,卻發現食物及水沒有被動過,鳥兒的羽翼凌亂不堪,全身佈滿碰撞的傷痕,奄奄一息地癱軟在白布上。238Please respect copyright.PENANA3g3lEi4HuW
