七月第一個星期六,烏雲蓋頂的早晨。我們沿著步道慢跑,運動背心和皮膚之間滲上一層熱汗。我看向隨行的二人,小兒子康朗還很有活力,妻子雯霞則搖搖頭,看來體力到頂了。461Please respect copyright.PENANAc0W3LwLQ5J
461Please respect copyright.PENANAE9vxQxU4KH
「跑完這一圈,我們去吃早餐吧。」我說。461Please respect copyright.PENANA5VHFTp4U67
461Please respect copyright.PENANAa3rEidVmcq
康朗精神的大聲喊好,雯霞頓了一下才靜靜的點頭。我們放慢步速,在步道外圍緩步。461Please respect copyright.PENANAqwNhl2nLLu
461Please respect copyright.PENANAvswSbx6ZA2
「早安,雯霞。早安,小康朗。」熟悉的聲音從後接近,「早安,康和。」461Please respect copyright.PENANALasFMUUEwL
說話的中年男與我並肩而行,我嘴巴半開,一副呆鈍的表情。461Please respect copyright.PENANA6fPHltE2Pi
461Please respect copyright.PENANAcO84TSctYT
「早安,華叔叔。」康朗大聲喊道。461Please respect copyright.PENANAI9HhtPL01j
461Please respect copyright.PENANAkTROY79SQ1
「早安,阿華。」我接著說,「抱歉,我忘了繳付上月的月費,所以……」我伸手向半空比了比。461Please respect copyright.PENANANFAVsJsSRB
461Please respect copyright.PENANAmwZS1e8pha
「我懂,我也試過忘了月費。是挻不方便的,平時一些理所當然的事也辦不到。只要到服務店補交就好,一切又會回復正常。」阿華說。461Please respect copyright.PENANAO0TCjbN2pc
461Please respect copyright.PENANAxBz96fOgJI
「我待會就去辦。」461Please respect copyright.PENANA49IAuBQFVs
461Please respect copyright.PENANA5LbTOh5rGC
阿華揮手道別,往步道内圍跑開。我們走完餘下的路程便離開步道,前往鄰近的露天廣場。厚厚的雲層仍未散去,令廣場蒙上一層陰影。461Please respect copyright.PENANAy11NqfO4Wx
461Please respect copyright.PENANAcdpY8vtd9a
我徑自走向常去的茶座,卻被雯霞從後拉住。461Please respect copyright.PENANA5XqjpqsvIT
461Please respect copyright.PENANAxKEsSof8KS
「你要去那?忘了自己被切斷服務了嗎?」她說。461Please respect copyright.PENANAXPQp14Y4d4
461Please respect copyright.PENANAVERTrB7rCo
我仿然大悟,搔搔鼻子,「現在的我連去取號都辦不到。」461Please respect copyright.PENANANCta48Wx8h
461Please respect copyright.PENANAqfQTOEz6Ey
「我們去排隊取號,你去服務店補交月費後再來會合。」461Please respect copyright.PENANAkMazniV1rw
461Please respect copyright.PENANAOo16Ioi5Xo
我小聲應好,獨自離去。服務店在廣場另一邊,是一間不起眼的小店,只有忘了用電子轉帳繳付月費的蠢蛋才會光顧。店内豎著三部有大螢幕的機台,每部機台之間由膠板分隔。461Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0dCD6a10i
461Please respect copyright.PENANACW5EKo6zI2
我掏出錢包走到中間的機台前,輕觸螢幕,畫面跳轉:461Please respect copyright.PENANAb5W0Fiiqyq
461Please respect copyright.PENANAGEmLA9OOlr
「歡迎使用I Eyes服務,請將智網膜對準鏡頭。」461Please respect copyright.PENANAite7YmWBqK
461Please respect copyright.PENANA4K3hLQI5c8
我把上身前傾,視線對準螢幕上方的攝錄鏡頭。461Please respect copyright.PENANAi0cLn67yCe
461Please respect copyright.PENANAfth8yRWHiZ
「周康和先生登入成功。請選擇服務:」461Please respect copyright.PENANA9NPO8tDQpt
461Please respect copyright.PENANATjeYqZvs1L
我閱覽螢幕上的選單,點選繳費服務,刷卡繳付了上月份的月費。461Please respect copyright.PENANAOumSumlTcn
461Please respect copyright.PENANAoKq3GkSw6T
「繳費成功。閣下的智網膜將於稍後重啟,感謝使用I Eyes服務。」461Please respect copyright.PENANAOSzn09UYJi
461Please respect copyright.PENANA2ctYX2M3Kg
我把錢包收好,步出店外。回到茶座,雯霞和康朗已經就座,我很快的坐到兩人對面。461Please respect copyright.PENANAEIRGUCJK6J
461Please respect copyright.PENANAC0SujQqCM6
「我為你點了A餐和熱咖啡。」雯霞兩眼發直對著無人的位置說話。461Please respect copyright.PENANAlZLfeICakl
461Please respect copyright.PENANACY4vd7n3xx
話音剛落,侍應便把三份早餐兩杯特濃黑咖啡放到我們面前。侍應臉上浮現一個綠色方框,一旁標示他的姓名和職位,代表我的智網膜已經重啟。461Please respect copyright.PENANAbO9s1bXw17
461Please respect copyright.PENANA3L7yoZVVv7
「請慢用。」侍應微微一笑,轉身離開。461Please respect copyright.PENANAwXJZ9nlM21
461Please respect copyright.PENANArOTu4dSCX0
雯霞和康朗面前各飄浮著一張虛擬屏幕。雯霞隨手拿起一件多士塞到嘴裡,眼睛緊盯著屏幕,另一手撥弄操作。康和半身趴在桌上,尊心觀看屏幕上的卡通片。461Please respect copyright.PENANASU4Rjld6tK
461Please respect copyright.PENANA2Yc3juw8gm
我拿起耳杯,輕吹杯上的白煙。調整一個舒適的坐姿,一邊享受藍天白雲,一邊喝下苦澀的黑咖啡。461Please respect copyright.PENANA1if4Y656Oe
