年屆五十的父親捧著鏡子，逕自轉身離開。他只著眼於自己的背，不斷往鏡裡看。弓了嗎？直了嗎？435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyCZTLvy3z
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5T9oKmo3H
直了，佩姬如此安撫父親。父親聞言，反手輕掃自己的背，傻笑，喃喃碎碎唸：我的背直了……我的背直了……435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydutQaDURy

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto3ggyrN8K
自從父親被關進精神病院，母親開始手騰腳震，見鬼似的。她不相信深愛的好丈夫會為一個七十歲有夫之婦而弓背。他從不弓背，脊椎像是鋼條製造。他說腰板硬直得像感嘆號的人方能為家庭遮風擋雨。現在，他的背弓了，家庭也就要散了。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjvWNsQ7Eg
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtLQxZUvy2
母親的聲音抖顫著，沙啞無力。她要佩姬學她一樣卷縮起來。切記，背部一定要弓得像問號的大弧。這是最佳自保方法。腰板硬直得像感嘆號的人就要為家庭遮風擋雨。我不敢擔當這責任。一眾背脊弓得像問號的人會將我縛起來，送進精神病院。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya5hl9pi5E
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFeA4Vnoll

一眾警員施盡九牛二虎之力才得以制服母親，將她抬到救護車裡去。母親的厲叫聲遠去，累得弓背的警員收隊離開。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9J8BCujPq

很礙耳。佩姬一臉不悅，入屋看電視去。肥皂劇。劇情講述中年男人為賺錢養妻活兒，甘願成為已婚老婦的秘密情人。看著中年男演員臉上無奈，佩姬哈哈大笑起來。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07nN95Rgq0

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEQQhkjxqS
艾倫遇過很多喜歡降服他人的傢伙，有如這狂妄自大的潔西卡。他不介懷她的挑戰，聳聳肩，一臉不以為然。普通醫生照顧你的身體，心理醫生照顧你的精神，家庭醫生可以同時照顧你的身體和精神，裡裡外外，一切一切，像個丈夫。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFayYfaZ5A

潔西卡大笑一聲，覺得他的答案很有趣。是個好丈夫呢！435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9LkhkB57Q

我不知道自己能否勝任當個好丈夫，但我肯定自己是個好情人，艾倫說。取過潔西卡手中酒杯，雙唇剛好疊在桃紅唇膏殘漬上。酒杯微傾，佳釀帶著桃紅色誘惑，滑入他口腔去。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGFnL8TM3y

佩姬隨意抽出酒櫃裡的一瓶紅酒，仔細品嚐。人家說，酒能亂性；佩姬說，人性自亂，與酒無關。她清楚知道，無論有沒有酒精介入，自己還是想杰瑞看看她的背。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi11TevdTU
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWTqvp6oaF
杰瑞比她年長十年，是個性格怪異的鑽石王老五。他很在意背脊線條。每次健身，他都命令教練務必留意他的背。他接受不了弓背的人：那虛偽醜陋的線條會讓他毛管直豎。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMY4juJ7aS
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTADdi4bJuY
為了討好杰瑞，佩姬找來一塊金屬片，縫合在衣服上，撐直身子。她撐了沒一星期，杰瑞已留意到這新入職的花信小妮子，稱讚她直挺挺的腰板。佩姬微笑道，我的腰板天生就是那麼硬直。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrYHCtGOfr

潔西卡先天不足，脊椎生來柔軟。年紀輕輕，背脊已弓得像蝦米。背著小弟通街跑，替分身不暇的母親糴米回家，為父親搬貨送客……家庭生意漸有起色。年邁父母退下火線，一眾子女接手生意。潔西卡是兄弟姊妹中最有手段的一個，由她來當公關最適合不過。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nXXFWmUso

酒醉，一絲不掛的佩姬硬直地俯伏枱上。撕裂的痛來自背部。杰瑞的指甲有如酒瓶斷口那樣銳利，在佩姬嫩滑玉背上劃下十道血痕。一痕換一萬元。佩姬的月薪就此暴漲十萬大元。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O3Gvw3GXC

終於有人懂得欣賞弓背的她。對方是個愛酒的花甲老翁。他愛她愛得滿臉通紅，扒光她衣服，猛讚她的弓背美絕人間。他打斷酒瓶，在她背上留下十道印記。她帶淚謝謝他厚愛，拿著簽好的合約帶笑離開。薄薄的十頁紙，重得驚人，將她的背墜得更弓更圓潤，有如完美問號。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaoCrWcGWQ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw4LOzuEu0
驀地，潔西卡滿腦子問號。問號多得很，一個勾著另一個，繞纏成結，雜亂無章。問號數量瞬間暴增，快要充爆她腦袋。頭痛欲裂。她需要答案，儘管她尚未弄清楚問題根本。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYpDJ8LtXZ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaoNPRi4k4
一雙沾滿塵土的赤腳出現在潔西卡面前。她弓著背，抬不起頭，看不見對方的臉。她一頭栽入對方懷中，口裡喃喃重覆著：為甚麼？為甚麼？為甚麼？435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaiLcKC7MT

赤條條的潔西卡被抱至一個裝滿紅酒的浴缸。背上十道印記變得瘋狂，強行撐開皮肉，熱烈歡迎新認識的朱色佳釀。潔西卡隨之起哄、騷動，在浴缸裡手舞足蹈。揚手，撲空，她整個人滑入缸底。紅酒芳香和血液腥臭混和在一起，成為詭異的快樂。她的弓背感到一陣酥麻。醉倒。變得輕盈、寧靜，彷彿不存在。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM88NDoE66

佩姬的背痛得很，久久不能成眠。杰瑞為她放滿一缸紅酒，雙雙沉浸其中。放鬆。他提及多年前的一宗新聞。一名精神病患者將一名酒醉女商人浸在一缸紅酒裡，說是為對方減輕背部痛楚。女商人受驚過度，結果被送進精神病院接受治療。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTroyIN0Kl

佩姬覺得杰瑞所講的故事似曾相識，但她一下子又想不出甚麼端倪來。漸漸迷醉於滿缸赤紅之中。對座的杰瑞如盯著綿羊的狼，眼神銳利而貪婪。久經鍛鍊的軀體沒有半分多餘脂肪，線條精煉，硬直剛陽。他是個如假包換的感嘆號。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIE6jRnQ7a

泡在酒池裡，潔西卡教年輕兒子認識紅酒。飲酒是基本社交技能，品酒是提升形象的技巧，評酒是突顯個人魅力的方法。小伙子不勝酒力，滿臉通紅，像釀酒用的豐美果實，教人垂延欲滴。他卑微地弓起背，把頭塞入她兩腿間，品酒。潔西卡欣賞那新鮮稚嫩的弓背。美絕人間的弧線，賞心悅目。她心頭大樂，打了個顫。小伙子乖乖退出來，評酒。評得好，孺子可教也，將來定必是人中龍鳳。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwpS269WLR

紅酒白液混在一起，滑入佩姬喉腔。杰瑞的背仍然直挺挺，沒有隨著精神鬆馳而軟弓下來。佩姬問，你不累嗎？杰瑞從後擁佩姬入懷，耳語。只有腰板硬直得像感嘆號的人方能為家庭遮風擋雨，所以他不能言累。佩姬的敏感神經被點燃起來，由耳根蔓延開去，躍動全身每個細胞。目光游離不定，無意間落在缸邊一幅清澄大鏡牆上。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIjz6Pif2T

太可憐了。艾倫嘗試拗直潔西卡的弓背。用力過猛，硬生生將十道印記撕破。紅酒芳香和血液腥臭混和在一起，成為詭異的快樂。冰冷雪花白雲石牆身飾面無限反射潔西卡的嬌喘聲。滾燙皮膚現出鬱紅酒色，令乾癟瘦削的潔西卡看來年輕。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ6nNXosQr
