愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6tBlG1T4m
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiLMh2nwIA
但準確來說，是前攝影師。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDo5Z7vaAR
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH6EVnvpJ2
「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。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIpK4rThnb
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E8wqfHzn2
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。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAfH4TCvAN
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPyw8zFXEK
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。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29h9VT61UL
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsh8XMk3sE
「好靚係唔係？」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R8OKIj5aE
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOPklCgfYg
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXCe96tHKz
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxYjP22ADI
「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。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzGxdBPd0O
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIn1kkiTwP
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoDdjCxNsW
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5eLG2lfsB
「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……」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCeFrZS03b
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbU8FIeTt7
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWhyoxaC8N
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tLpCazrnd
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxKQhmYMhd
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡednurwnN1o
「返去嘅理由…」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MVhEI7rMM
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaDYFb6XFU
「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。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIv40lWFQB
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBFPhyPlWc
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。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyGUJ6yvlH
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhUE7gXrY2
「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。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62ucDKB6qP
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLsLinus66
我心中一沉。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEcMZT5PlM
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jbaB6pQWH
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK6Tjdo02W
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSc5NVp2fM
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。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv6ZzVUTPD
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7GgLMCpVF
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXKC6zuAfT
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUf4Dy9vWb
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kx2VmQBh6
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh3xSSICvt
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo69kWnU5L4
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPI8a58PoN
「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。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9dpqDpmec
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa9s2Nr6UH
「我始終想再睇多次。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKMrZR3fpN
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGTd3Je4S4
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGs7RDqRXh
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AUfmTDcQk
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoVd28QCa4
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH5NRA80hU
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…？430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3ulO7HSgh
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxibiB4Q8r8
甚麼跟甚麼。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19WMxqQdTq
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIMZpY3cVE
「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。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2DBQhOvkS
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamHH6LG62w
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgHVVqNLcK
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6RYTC1shM
「例如——」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8SUxbGGhR
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3uvxQRtDY
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。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCJudpQfiS
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB9H3T8q2d
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJtChdZeZC
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaytSdK2WL
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbyHeTcoI5
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t2ZTXr99v
「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。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv3he2VNxc
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBOnGdvUOu
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。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbjXZpOiS4
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF00P6yo0Y
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcBRnnZKG1
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8L3wnibkq
「Hall 2B？」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePcVmFZIcq
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQh9ldBo8Q
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」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdrUnY8s3q
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qMwzIlMEp
「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？」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgG6VfBCh5
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclt8SHem2e
我點點頭：「嗯。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqE5WujBuo
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv18S5AekF1
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIuj8hIT9j
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEqd0fkI4C
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4hqQ7xKQF
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaT1QHzPh1
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflsc3BWYzK
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaPfvOXiKz
「嘎——」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGffkUbc0GJ
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtII2rzvYgE
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！430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv6zFIqUBa
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLt15s4jVZ
「呢度……！」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2CqJMNPER
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36654meUTR
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。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrQzD3sasN
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TTaBAgKG6
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……430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaLDH94b89
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa9uUzgtwI
「咦？」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImXmjTHtwn
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8wHQQzH38
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU49T30q8o
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQsm6VoCAx
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmxBERjdL3
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPCQm1wAXE
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3kYQdWi3x
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwubqpLEnb
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。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBwVI0xTwZ
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF9gmStBF8
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCAILF0bnX
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcicUArgQ1T
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。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj5xgefPdu
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcmn3lNs5U
「呢度係……」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFQdV29dVK
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXmrDj7QiW
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。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABkqPzkdKj
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkIiTzgYTi
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhYpvljgVs
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK1HRmapmT
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。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRckXbZnoY3
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdFHf1gBUp
「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。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjx9CLM8Sm
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDGtTF2RP5
「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。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG27dM8GSg
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bG9iT8nmL
就在那瞬間，我看到了。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaN38TlNR6
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj6Fhcbn2G
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！430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeE3WyDTy0
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S2k4bBcjQ
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV8E0RoW1a
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ262BzS8oXq
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNjjz6UvgU
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHhRbHuTQv
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？430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTlzlfntDe
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHjlAxq0Zr
「我地行呢邊。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1S36VEywY
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4582tO2LXH
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。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlfczY9E76
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4rPJkcbl3
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！430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuoFX1u0wG
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbC4chbDh8
「嘎——」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteyLLE2T3e
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPasZsUK36Y
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！430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWi7h8oJzD
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5l9uzlDtL
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpkHCd4wam
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylP1MBZpr6
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamfDTQkp7A
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG8eGb21tH
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0qpzOfUTD
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRa06CcMZb
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。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GGikgp8gp
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i6NofA0ap
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4cv2n5e9o
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lRFVtMBlA
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cqWi7hRvu
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY96pUGZgy
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8yFLYklc3
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwGayblJsh
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。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4ozbhu9OC
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJADnVOlqPM
但唯有那一句不變。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI845gQFCHo
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFEGvR3ToR
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX19maVMP47
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmddkbcZIU
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
