這不是我的習慣,但我不得不將目前所記得的事情都記錄下來。540Please respect copyright.PENANA7DLQI6yAoe
我不曉得自己還能記得這一切多久,又會在何時失去自我。540Please respect copyright.PENANApeqq2RGsEP
在一切變得更糟之前,我得想出辦法。540Please respect copyright.PENANADCr9tPqbVy

540Please respect copyright.PENANAmmeRVkAtdR
我原本以為今天是10/23.540Please respect copyright.PENANAptDd7dKhcL
一如我所預期般,我準時搭上往海地的船,毫不意外地渡過不愉快的晚餐,接著回房看書。540Please respect copyright.PENANATvmjMtQJ2T
540Please respect copyright.PENANAjuWqd3BWSA
540Please respect copyright.PENANApUrU5u0HRq
540Please respect copyright.PENANAC488z9uQhv
然後,我醒來了。540Please respect copyright.PENANA2i46prVe0F
540Please respect copyright.PENANA1syiesGZGa
540Please respect copyright.PENANA2o9GUu9nFU
540Please respect copyright.PENANAEU19xvwlCi
我不明白這是怎麼回事。這一切都沒有道理。540Please respect copyright.PENANA6MAWqfUJhH
我們所有人都躺在醫院病床上。穿著病袍,帶著傷。540Please respect copyright.PENANACCNiktHzIA
540Please respect copyright.PENANAdPJ3D48LR9
醫生過來巡房時,看著我們的眼神像是在看一群瘋子。540Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ8vPngQm1
我不怪他有這種想法。歐尼爾(O’Neil)完全沒有攻擊他的理由。艾咪(Amy)不小心絆倒而扯開他的病袍的這件事,讓這一切變得更加瘋狂,滑稽而可笑。我像是在看一部廉價的喜劇,而我就是裡頭的演員。540Please respect copyright.PENANAkzTHkND1mK
540Please respect copyright.PENANANjehdVfIHz
540Please respect copyright.PENANA6SnRl1Sdee
540Please respect copyright.PENANAdFMRcipw3V
我又一次醒來。540Please respect copyright.PENANALcM7us13iF
540Please respect copyright.PENANAHYOWjG9EKS
這次我們站在軍情處辦公室裡。一名軍官坐在我們面前,指控我們犯下了叛國罪。540Please respect copyright.PENANApcEsPKJb3v
這實在是太可笑了。540Please respect copyright.PENANAmlVU6jkdAk
先認定我們是群神智不清的瘋子,又說我們有裝瘋賣傻,通敵賣國的嫌疑。這個人到底在說什麼?他難道沒有發現自己話中的矛盾之處嗎?540Please respect copyright.PENANAfZgBwXZMwO
540Please respect copyright.PENANA5EFF2zcFc6
我猜他是有意識到的。540Please respect copyright.PENANAaCt9Vucefa
我不相信這個人。540Please respect copyright.PENANAYSTecYUkvf
540Please respect copyright.PENANA4cwELmGGRP
父親大吼著他身為美國公民的權利。在這化外之地上,以他偉大的美國公民身份要所有人閉嘴。540Please respect copyright.PENANAfbbNATXdXY
多麼可悲。540Please respect copyright.PENANAwV9E1lT7PC
即使他原本便慣以威勢逼人也不應如此。這不對勁。540Please respect copyright.PENANAxuzfvaqqDN
我不知道傑克當時為何會來到這個地方。父親到底要他到這裡做什麼?為什麼會跟軍方有所牽扯?540Please respect copyright.PENANAnjWszVbO5q
540Please respect copyright.PENANA3X32iRAnfu
以監視行動作為交換條件,那名軍官讓我們回到飯店。540Please respect copyright.PENANAWYaVKLUxIc
直至此刻,我才知道今天是10/30.540Please respect copyright.PENANACfCbs01Qp0
540Please respect copyright.PENANAGDS9x6y8Xr
我真的瘋了嗎?540Please respect copyright.PENANAQmhzlQNBZA
540Please respect copyright.PENANAJtq4bbzRyw
540Please respect copyright.PENANAAU3VmwzIDh
540Please respect copyright.PENANAjfpSAfQOhA
然而我再度醒來了。540Please respect copyright.PENANAjZUFaGiudn
這次我們坐在計程車上。司機催著我們下車。我們已經到達飯店。540Please respect copyright.PENANAOWGVEWuxIf
540Please respect copyright.PENANAhUBtsl6va0
我無法理解。540Please respect copyright.PENANAjQh1ben73z
所有記憶都如夢境般支離破碎。540Please respect copyright.PENANAtGGJM671lE
我還醒著嗎?540Please respect copyright.PENANAQdd6Z5nfEJ
當我下車時,我甚至不覺得自己踩著的是地面。540Please respect copyright.PENANAJdtnwjguDY
540Please respect copyright.PENANAgyIHLqgj9Z
飯店櫃臺接待員證實今天的確是10/30. 很明顯,我們所有人都失去了整個禮拜的記憶。540Please respect copyright.PENANACKnLAR1YUR
這並不合理。精神失常不該是這種形式。540Please respect copyright.PENANASV64T6fCTC
我們醒來時是在軍方醫院裡。軍隊顯然知道些什麼。540Please respect copyright.PENANAoiyGYJQdWr
我懷疑我們被施打了什麼藥物。或許是某種人體實驗。540Please respect copyright.PENANAxmpJ2jh126
540Please respect copyright.PENANAIcPqwjdVM2
我搜索記憶,想找出可能證實這個猜測的線索。然而我只記得某些可怕的畫面。540Please respect copyright.PENANAGbku0QcqaT
額頭多長了一只眼睛,扛著長矛的黑人。水邊步步進逼的鱷魚。540Please respect copyright.PENANAX0Dw7dxsK9
還有那隻血肉模糊的斷腳。540Please respect copyright.PENANAxMC7jl6bi7
540Please respect copyright.PENANA9TfycUUOqs
這些畫面毫無道理。我完全找不出關聯。540Please respect copyright.PENANAq5KLkkh9Gm
或許那只是某次惡夢清醒後的殘穢。而我還在無數惡夢間醒醒睡睡。540Please respect copyright.PENANANbYujZ5Qnz
540Please respect copyright.PENANA3eqQkvZDrD
540Please respect copyright.PENANAHfIWLJt2mS
540Please respect copyright.PENANAj3qzdLsRx1
軍方在10/27時曾來搜索過我們的房間。540Please respect copyright.PENANAdroAXcNSMv
我們的證件都被拿走了,只有艾咪的記者證得以倖存。還有一些零錢。540Please respect copyright.PENANAeRzh2Xon90
我在手提包中找到兩張11/10開往美國的船票,船票上寫的是我跟艾咪的名字。540Please respect copyright.PENANAtTurZ6uYwz
艾咪的記事本裡夾著一張紙條,上頭匆匆寫了幾個人名跟地點:540Please respect copyright.PENANAhunlhqJtE4
540Please respect copyright.PENANAyfYG26o8DI
瑪麗‧傑洛姆(Marie Jerome)。塔羅牌解讀者。烏卡鳩克斯街87號。貝萊爾。540Please respect copyright.PENANAQxfXrK8Z5w
布魯斯‧諾斯義斯特(Bruce Northeast)博士。人類學家。帕科街50號。帕科。540Please respect copyright.PENANAB9MY12Z204
ADS──國家圖書館。540Please respect copyright.PENANAXMtQDiLlFo
浮動恐懼教團(Cult of the Floating Horror)? 星之池(Star Pools)?巫毒?540Please respect copyright.PENANAa6nyBeVLqP
540Please respect copyright.PENANANl9Lo6NTX2
那是艾咪的字跡。但她對此毫無印象。540Please respect copyright.PENANAYyLoPcN3G2
540Please respect copyright.PENANAQOZpzfBQxF
540Please respect copyright.PENANAXWd1bSTTm2
540Please respect copyright.PENANAtUuOBJ5ncb
接著我再次醒來。540Please respect copyright.PENANAL7GNRb8TvE
我們所有人都坐在父親的房間裡。凱斯勒(Kessler)手上還拿著組裝到一半的霰彈槍。540Please respect copyright.PENANA6BkUsMkETv
我們又失去了約三個小時的記憶。540Please respect copyright.PENANAXyudGHhizL
540Please respect copyright.PENANAJsAGrTyKyw
540Please respect copyright.PENANAj1g9CLMtDK
540Please respect copyright.PENANA9Lx5PMPAx3
我好害怕。540Please respect copyright.PENANADvKXDtTaaH
我真的還正常嗎?540Please respect copyright.PENANAq6INRr0Cm2
我的神智真的清醒嗎?540Please respect copyright.PENANAFV326DnTUm
等我下一次醒來,我會在哪裡?540Please respect copyright.PENANAzDOR35EKbI
我是不是要永遠困在這個夢境裡了?540Please respect copyright.PENANAMWngfe2gML
我還能保持現在這樣多久?540Please respect copyright.PENANA9tmB4ML8z0
540Please respect copyright.PENANA2pETsR382e
540Please respect copyright.PENANAkq0URynJYh
540Please respect copyright.PENANAMXeMwgHIs5
目前我只知道幾件事:540Please respect copyright.PENANAuj0jpoZhJ2
1. 我們所有人似乎會一起失憶,一起清醒,而無論我們是否處在同一地點。540Please respect copyright.PENANAgxLC8RlVr7
2. 失憶的頻率跟長短並不固定。540Please respect copyright.PENANA8n31P4X9o0
然而我對這些線索還有所懷疑。儘管凱斯勒宣稱:他原本正在臥室內組裝霰彈槍,接著便突然發現自己已經出現在我們身邊。但我實在很難相信:有人能拿著組裝到一半的槍在飯店裡遊盪整整三個小時,卻不被人發現。540Please respect copyright.PENANAFGfw5Lv93j
540Please respect copyright.PENANAaLaQeEky8I
我不知道父親是從哪裡找來這個偵探的。540Please respect copyright.PENANAge7SBdUuSq
既然他接受了委託,那父親應該會告訴他們一些關於傑克來這裡的理由。至少他們自己也該做過事前調查。540Please respect copyright.PENANAKBXXmYU07f
540Please respect copyright.PENANAjqqtynwEeg
藍道(Randall)在他們房裡發現了一隻巨大的蛾。蛾被小心地裝在盒子裡。540Please respect copyright.PENANAXNDv9bsQGJ
父親在房裡找到了一張塔羅牌。上頭畫的骷髏死神有著三只眼睛。540Please respect copyright.PENANAdkWFLPovI8
似乎在他找到這張牌的同時,我們便失去了記憶跟時間。540Please respect copyright.PENANAjQTqfBwbRf
我們六人都對三只眼睛的黑人、鱷魚,以及斷腳有印象。540Please respect copyright.PENANAoB79mkS0ii
540Please respect copyright.PENANAKp0uuE4hqa
飯店的人能夠信賴嗎?540Please respect copyright.PENANAmavUPQjYQ8
如果這張牌是他們放的,那拿槍在飯店裡遊蕩卻沒引起騷動,就顯得非常合理。540Please respect copyright.PENANAH3l74G0lMU
540Please respect copyright.PENANATvYAFoR35A
我們的行動都在軍方監視之下。540Please respect copyright.PENANAvu1uzdiM8P
拿著槍四處晃蕩這種危險的事,已經足以讓他們再把我們關回去了。540Please respect copyright.PENANAM3ZMeclRSK
他們顯然是故意不阻止的。或者這件事根本沒發生。540Please respect copyright.PENANAYquwddKuFj
540Please respect copyright.PENANALS8rV7i3P5
540Please respect copyright.PENANA3FSVMBd2Gp
540Please respect copyright.PENANAnTMrkEDwhY
我們決定分頭行動。540Please respect copyright.PENANANEq1xc59pv
我先去找帕科的B.N. 艾咪與凱斯勒一同去報社打聽消息。540Please respect copyright.PENANA6NpiNHjK34
540Please respect copyright.PENANAUtB5p5Rpnb
艾咪建議我:先別將船票的事情告訴其他人。我想這是安全的作法。540Please respect copyright.PENANAeNWkjfhmnp
540Please respect copyright.PENANASbeLRr8zqm
買這張船票的人是誰?540Please respect copyright.PENANA8MSPGJk1LR
如果是父親,他不可能沒買自己的。540Please respect copyright.PENANAhOUzZOSp9Z
或許是我。或許是艾咪。或許是傑克?540Please respect copyright.PENANAQEGGZQD2VP
我得找機會確認這件事。
