命運之神無色無相卻存在，主宰一切生命興衰。此刻，衪就在聖殿裡，充實空間每一角。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXTqAr6pVH

「神聖的命運之神啊！為何作此安排？」靈感女神秀臉微頷，萬般順從的姿態，惟隱若滲出那萬分之一點的無奈。人類存活那麼多年，辛辛苦苦建立一切。豈可因為命運之神一句話而終結所有文明與智慧？406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRHjrmI46c
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtHEt9NsPT
「因為人類的快樂。」命運之神簡潔回答，話中蘊含永恆不變的嫉妒。靈感女神不敢抗議，拾起地上的五線譜黯然退下。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKDC1yidi0

曲，經已譜好。此事沒挽回餘地。曲子哀怨動人，是愁人的仙音。惟想及要配上絕佳歌詞，靈感女神不禁皺起眉頭。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1G7r9N0zr

她不討厭人類，甚至為人類著迷。他們的進步實在令她驚訝。她只把「靈感」賜予其中一人，沒料到他竟會傳揚開去。經過數千多年，人類才有今日文明。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiSgIgLxj3

靈感女神可說是文明之母。她又怎忍心看著自己的孩子死去？406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpybn84qKss

她很寂寞。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQUujhxLD3
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4xIjgarHL
她會做的，除了創作，只有創作。拿著羽毛筆，左寫寫，右畫畫。這麼就過了一天。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDdO3Y3d8l

「很悶啊！」她需要一個伴。她走到凡間，左挑右選，選了一個人類寶寶，精緻的，可愛的，胖胖白白的。落入她温暖的仙懷，寶寶笑過不停，異常開心。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtkHS0pNzX
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBB9q7G6E5
她蹤身一躍，飛起了。寶寶在清風中哈哈大笑。「也是的！他未曾飛天！帶他回神殿吧！」她一直往上望，想得出神。待會兒要先替他泡花瓣浴，然後來一頓豐富大餐。他喜歡吃甚麼呢？軟綿綿的雲？熱呼呼的陽光？冷冰冰的雪花？還是她最愛吃的……406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0IiTZKVtM
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklioK5KG7j
她全然沒留意到寶寶的變化。由起初笑不攏嘴，突然長出濃密的毛髮，繼而出現皺紋，老去，死去，乾化……那僅是數秒間的事情。直至萎縮了的嬰屍碎成粉末，靈感女神才驚覺懷中生命已然消逝。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtHVDEWMXa

她以樹木形態呆呆獨自生存數百萬個世紀。眼看同類死去活來，她羨慕了多少個晝夜。但她知道自己與眾不同，肯定將有奇蹟發生於她身上。她渴望成為神祇，得到自由。風吹過時，她的葉子不是沙沙作響，而是猛唸「自由、自由」；她的根無時無刻都在散發渴求自由的因子。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLbr0fYgWw

偏偏她與自由無緣。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ny7V0U3sC

成為神祇又如何？她仍舊寂寞不堪。孤獨使她尖叫、抓狂。她只需一個伴而已。竟是這麼簡單卻難辦！406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9OtWfWVew

天神們沒生育能力，亦沒時間互相結交。哪像人類幸福？她注定只有孤獨的份兒。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmML14Q7gJz

他們沒幹甚麼特別的，只是拿出博物館內的老古董CD機，緬懷一番。他們在大廣場播放靈感女神三千年前寫下的曲子，跟可愛又可恨的世界道別。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9xBiYrHH0
