寒流突襲，全城氣溫急降。政府開放庇護中心予露宿者借宿，中心裡霎時間熱鬧非常，杯麵香飄，被褥溫軟。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz96OhYLKW

阿明在門口猶豫一秒，瞬間打消內進念頭——有通輯令在身，不宜冒險。開步走在蕭蕭寒風中，思索是夜該要到哪兒度過。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eMml7C1vg

中秋已過，聖誕燈飾隱伏大廈外牆，靜待一個月後亮起一剎，花花綠綠，琳瑯滿目。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9guCZFUpd5
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfng07YEwhC
阿明曾經喜歡聖誕，曾經相信聖誕老人存在，曾經期待聖誕襪裝滿禮物，曾經騎在爸爸肩膊摘下聖誕樹頂的星星……曾經的自己是個千依百順的乖孩子，與家人關係很好，直至他長大。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkaHuoeO9T
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhvXUMDv3C
細雨紛紛，人欲斷魂。阿明驀地抬頭望向肅殺天空深處，確認天外依然沒有天。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yuhlvSjk5
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARPJAWZX05
但他意外瞄見一扇半開的窗。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXtJZ9Okia
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEvPZe7bUO
旁邊大廈正在進行外牆翻新工程，棚架聳立，層層泥綠色安全網保障了工人生命安全，卻保護不了粗心住戶的財物。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALbhB4Se6c
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUBv2Mph1Y
機會來了。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhefRI5XA8K
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQj1EJwil8
阿明熟練地攀上棚架，潛入屋內。屋內無人，亦無防盜攝影鏡頭。安全。四處搜刮看。沒啥特別，現金不過二千，珍寶首飾欠奉，最值錢的估是電視。不過阿明絕未笨得偷電視。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkACIXrhJM
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE2FdUtQUk
食物反倒勾起阿明興趣，接連吃上三個即食麵。飲飽食醉，頓感無聊，在屋內四處逛逛看。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFQrbrjqu2
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSSOQVboUT
許是個典型三人家庭：爸爸、媽媽、孩子。孩子是個女的，見那粉紅色牆身就知道；主人房雙人床上只有一個枕頭，暗暗道出男女主人關係欠佳；書房有摺床，證明之前的推論沒有錯的可能。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lZix7eXIO
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMzewsLRp6
到浴室去。首先映入眼簾的是座廁，但阿明最為在意的是面盆上方的那面掛鏡。說不上乾淨，亦算不上骯髒，硬是有一片似有還無的濛濛水痕掛在本應清澄的鏡面。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHhV1DOWbd
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0UAakH9Ao
看來不舒服，心裡不舒服——這令阿明想起爸爸。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqByUQfr5L
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE5B4KuAnI
假裝看不見掛鏡，轉身小便去。水聲滴滴，在寂靜浴室中尤顯突兀。心緒不寧。便後，低頭洗手。想望掛鏡，目光卻有意無意避開掛鏡範圍。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiaJPRJjZa
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWU6AVRy6U
心虛——那天，他與爸爸大吵一場，意外打破浴室掛鏡。爸爸盛怒將阿明趕出家門，他自此沒有固定的家。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOVWcPn3Ts
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHAUWA7gat
洗手後，到主人房休息去。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfEHIZyyKc
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cpqjUjvxu
輾轉反側。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoZe4ncwxH
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhA9Z4B1bZ
奈不住。找來清潔劑和抹布，用力把掛鏡擦得光光亮亮。望鏡，鏡中人賊眉賊眼，滿腦子歪思歪念。要不得。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXyP4Ir43I
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzykPabnC4
「這傢伙要不得！隨他走！」爸爸聲音猶在耳邊，媽媽和妹妹的哭喊求饒之聲不絕於耳。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqtuLYCLbG
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KDV8aFzmU
阿明對鏡苦笑，笑自己執著。放下抹布，再次回到主人房去。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCzmjEtsHA
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGktRN6ChLB
睡床上，閉目養神。聽到室外風聲嗖嗖，嗅到枕頭上殘留著戶主的洗頭水香氣，漸漸分不清楚被褥的溫度是自己的或是戶主的……429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzFWwRllYo
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DnmUcqW00
日，悄悄冒出頭來。阿明乘著八時許的繁忙時段，他混入上班的住戶當中離開大廈。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RMNALD9hJ
不消數天，偷來的二千元經已花光。阿明不得不想辦法弄點錢，同時奇怪為何幾天以來沒有聽到任何有關自己作案的報導。難道戶主沒有回家，沒有發現住所被爆竊？429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX6yyljl3o
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrtkaVkmX2
夜裡，他回到那幢大廈去，發現保安沒有明顯加強，於是再次潛入那戶去。同樣的廳，同樣的傢俬擺位，偏偏茶几上多了一張字條。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc5Y8TaL4w
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pOj7aRfyP
「感謝你為我清潔鏡子。我上夜班的，歡迎你隨時夜訪。」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17FMLjSsrx
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG3fqh9SSi
阿明惴惴不安——是陷阱嗎？429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzHLdF9rcX
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mCU1HdHEm
不。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwBOMyHmvh
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwLOKpCMcs
他在雪櫃找到大量新鮮食材，亦在大門附近發現未拆包裝的新拖鞋。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKgwSbgfHT
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqs1Ai5mjw
彷彿是為他準備的。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvzqdsKX1y
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxfaZb7OWH
飽餐一頓後，他再次在屋內四處探索，試圖找到更多關於這戶人家的線索。女兒房和書房五臟俱全，偏偏欠缺生活氣息：所有物件齊齊整整，一塵不染，像擺設，像佈景。主人房相對比較貼近現實——地上有長髮，衣櫃內的女裝或宜或皺，妝枱上護膚品排列得序中有亂，垃圾桶內有紙巾團和破信封。這證明了單住僅住有一人，也就是女戶主。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB2x0bLc4n
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf4bUS47Zo
原來是個女的。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJHSc7muru
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmUfXs8SfI
阿明腦袋不期然冒起一張臉——前妻？429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4nm9T158J
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdlOwbGGXR
阿明當年被捕入獄的時候，妻子已懷有兩個月身孕。他刑滿出獄後聯絡不上她，聽說她早已墮胎，另覓良緣。阿明自覺理虧，也就沒有進一步尋找她……429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZLWQenlyf
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iwoYxrCIx
意難平。繼續翻找，奈何找不到更多有用的信息。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDFocxtuUV
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0QTgABeDG
似乎女戶主是刻意藏起來的。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFsCM2D13S
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHtCOdLBMi
罷。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO6C5E2rmu
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKs7otxn8U
阿明環顧全屋，驀地覺得佈局似曾相識，像極與前妻同住三年的家。輕嘆一聲，不知哪來的衝動驅使他全屋打掃一番。彷彿回到那段快樂日子。他有努力的原因！他有生存的希望！他有心深念掛的愛人！429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRHtoLAnfT
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ot2BMJU19
阿明雙手忙個不停，腦袋裡全是前妻的臉。他後悔了，可惜往事只能回味。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oO8XeUPTt
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdGdB9A5rc
離開單位前，他在廳中茶几上的字條潦上幾筆：「謝謝。」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4x2Fww5aB
「下班後，看見全屋清潔整齊，工作中所受的委屈一掃而空。謝謝你。」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoStaA3Ehvb
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGziz9KPx6f
「你是否喜歡吃牛腩味即食麵？我發現你對這個口味尤感興趣，會多買。要來吃！」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAttfP60fh
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTaAdWwmmC
「煲了青紅蘿蔔豬骨湯。放在微波爐加熱即可飲用。」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKPQIx4kaS
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYDcFTioYb
「快到聖誕，打算焗火雞。你喜歡黑椒味或是傳統醬料味？會預留一份給你。」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bwRkdFifL
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdhhmFjJId
「今天是平安夜。我佈置了聖誕樹，漂亮嗎？喜歡嗎？」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq5jG0kOeB
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxH37eDboL
五顏六色的聖誕樹下，阿明對著樹頂那顆散發柔和光線的星星徹底卸下心房，哭了。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mcKGVVBTm
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjuPAnBrAl
敞大的屋子空蕩蕩，女兒房沒女兒，主人房沒主人，只有一個冒昧闖入的賊人。恐怕女戶主是個寂寞的人，寂寞得會對一個不認識的賊人放下戒心，也正如阿明自身會對一個任由宰割的陌生人投放感情。想要親眼望望對方……429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ046fS2jUR6
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArxtqPrsZ7
不！這是不智的行為！必須停止！馬上離開！429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0Dbl2aqh0
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6hWchq0Qq
雙腿忽爾變得沉重，無法動彈。他對不曾見面的女戶主已然投放太多感情，欲斷難斷——他希望對方其實是自己的前妻，說早已原諒他，想要跟他一起生活下去；他希望對方其實是自己的親妹，說父母對他牽腸掛肚，一直等待他回家團聚；他希望對方其實是自己的母親，說每天特意打開窗戶，好讓親愛的兒子隨時找她……429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHKNjK90Te
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡormaBwnj6b
鑰匙聲倏忽傳來，大門門把扭開，進入單位的是一名長髮女子。沒待女子身影停下，阿明立即奪門而出，直衝往後樓梯。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodoFjVg8gr
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZQpawzwV4
承受不了！他無法承受美好幻想破滅一刻！他無法承受真相浮現帶來的赤裸現實！429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEVSWF13yy
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhx9oBGU0y
無論對方僅是一個素未謀面的陌生人，抑或真是他的前妻、媽媽或妹妹，他都接受不來。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pZYWgcYkB
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58OYrfdp4D
他恐懼，深怕結局不如自己所想。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0WB1drMkj
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXI8Jey1Ou
既然如此，那就讓結局不要來。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUIo7UDXXY
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtAZf2j6Xt
大街上，細雨紛紛，人欲斷魂。阿明驀地抬頭望向肅殺天空深處，確認天外依然沒有天。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLyIKCqaMq
