愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2SEvBaprY
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ouOi9fLHy
但準確來說，是前攝影師。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7L7Kbi0Te
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46p0tPFxPx
「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。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz19mN2hwr
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2zu2u0qlS
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpCMPPsgG7
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc34yELSMnW
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGdD3eLPvf
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4F083QGNf
「好靚係唔係？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSi7JeOSDo
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY3D97rXr2
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFLZsH0vp5
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOWLsQdcbZ
「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。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOrCuEG9Jc
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmlO0emrjx
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OzXaGXvbe
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWfKsKVOj7
「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……」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVpr8cgUeY
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR6FXvdYwJ
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauyG76lEzv
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisLUNLJFmE
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs91o1RpnX
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbHhIW33qr
「返去嘅理由…」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbqtj79W3T
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKfuZSBqCg
「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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5mRbgXtFw
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ408C8TKXMk
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。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4ky0WrWIN
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEwRDBRCQl
「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。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMhFmzgOEH
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VocJTOYVD
我心中一沉。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOylxXsiTMZ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzPrZRhysQ
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksSTRRZSnI
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5fkg1Bw5i
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82QDQ3s7ud
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3cObDmIE1
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasdV5J2tVq
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KCZzml7ic
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJDNNPbBjU
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yqnCytbhK
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDSR3RIQut
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYXIdUaB8V
「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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5mgz4Db7e
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOQCOdMFFD
「我始終想再睇多次。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHSDA7dmW7
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkJHqbj1Dc
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCebS8PjUWB
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfdmRIZUe6
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD539iqHguo
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTUfET2bpY
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…？422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UQ0HzMYb9
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDndHAbcFzq
甚麼跟甚麼。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7e4BAycih
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu02ScKrRbu
「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。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6XAVE0Waa
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8YC8949Qo
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyklYmcE40
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSUvQpqjW4
「例如——」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM2J6nr8VZ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYJ2rrt0v8
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdLjkLvo5a
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lkj4rZ62Y
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrvVdfi0HV
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf1qiNN7GP
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzVVQ8Ds4X
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpvI1LeGSm
「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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWRKg6sYrE
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxNS1pLDSE
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9oRrTZFqj
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZnZh6PX4y
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bD6dcdAGp
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aNi62gvPe
「Hall 2B？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEAlp23kZj
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWWvq50pCt
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」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUlrJJaPq9
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnlkDTcmr1
「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？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxJq88IhhO
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDzStLRL76
我點點頭：「嗯。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftcWUI2tzI
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDjOaJBbQu
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAGvqiTmBS
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c94MLT5JV
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcASvyeGDI
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpkFIGcv5E
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug6Z7F7Xqv
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTROCgmjsQ
「嘎——」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrP4Ngl6UV
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1y71ZbVtA
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！422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuE1uqdWxk
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctdm89Lz5q
「呢度……！」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFbySEMwxT
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYELyo9bFZ
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxuEtdaykH
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK9AEJx16R
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……422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSEoFg4fRf
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwKWqzjCKF
「咦？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkfl9YOXMM
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO2KXf0FkM
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze1VTkvBeR
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahTEuugVDv
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vDK5XIn4B
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmD5thAYQW
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrK98gYjK6
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1hTGs1ShX
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizqFL3DWrO
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gUPxPmyYf
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO9lqL9nXv
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteXoTjdU6r
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApA1ebEIaA
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaeYnNhpQe
「呢度係……」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5RDe9DudL
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn9eb2SFBA
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yUpzyUjxF
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcuDUki8ZM
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwnhGBDKod
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcG9sHN93f
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。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa5qbCm4F9
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFesrJT0ecb
「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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW2SEc5vf5
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIESs1tScn
「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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8T4eaVb24
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwKkuWBA9f
就在那瞬間，我看到了。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySHur5Y2nk
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBehg4CiLq
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！422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhNa7UxCVN
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW0w1DkEYU
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXSyyBVqgB
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJk30IX6Si
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZB45jntC2
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvSK79SfEI
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？422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxyMSAZ886
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUncgIYzPUe
「我地行呢邊。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG24sKIYOSR
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b1CNYASxG
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugpRDZ0ssy
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl2TONxL97
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！422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiLJRYR6Sw
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt5ahWTjue
「嘎——」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGedkcoMPnV
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7z9BrqsaA
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！422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6ucv0fbwA
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3NgbfPMEe
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLhyo5inpM
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4GcUSwiZB
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFb9LlR1uq
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVGMqypmn7
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6eRwIV3hn
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aLsc9tZnM
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbKgBRWEES
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fwAxcEn4v
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr0rNXmxzB
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXCRGifAtT
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRsAXjU3I6
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP56hsN3WVI
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6S7MQEoCX
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE87FudJ4p5
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiUsXf1rHU
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryHuOw56Hu
但唯有那一句不變。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrwkCDH2GT
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FmF3jrGKA
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV799S0lNmb
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdJgeDQlIk
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
