阿圭是個木訥的孩子，話不多，笑容不多。他感到孤獨，想要找個朋友，但也沒勇氣多做一步。身邊人彷彿對他有無盡惡意——學校操場上，體育老師當眾痛罵阿圭手腳不靈活，像龜。走廊裡，學長嘲諷阿圭膽小怕事，像龜。家，父母的話題圍繞著他的長相，說他眼距過寛，像龜。阿圭心裡不是滋味，卻也只得選擇啞忍，像龜。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxaVBqdyu5

某天，上學途中，阿圭發現一間新開張的水族店。咦？別的店家開張時定會大鑼大鼓，怎麼這店會那麼靜悄悄的、死氣沉沉的？詭秘感覺油然而生，令人不寒而慄。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe28Y0GBmz

阿圭打算轉身離開之際，店裡有道稚嫩童音叫住他：「有興趣進來看看嗎？」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsA7AP6vES
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94QnZE142n
阿圭止住腳步，心生猶豫，仔細打量無門的店面。店面沒啥特別，與一般水族店無異。惟定睛瞇眼細望，隱約看見門前有一幅無形水簾。夏風吹過，簾上泛漣，波光粼粼。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRI4LWCxxt
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJdOSun4rS
幻覺？366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnCsi2FZLM
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV9RfiKsqm
阿圭不敢貿然內進，佇立原地，向內裡的稚童喊問：「這店有沒有甚麼特別的？」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWH8I2aOY6
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u9J9MNkCW
「有一隻龜精。」稚童笑說。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNdF6WhERc
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI9QY4k3Y6
阿圭被嚇得心頭一顫，扭頭就走。
翌日，上學路上，阿圭再次走經水族店門前。稚童再次喊話：「有興趣進來看看嗎？」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfDTrJd9uc
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF48jiZQHq
「不了。我不喜歡龜。」阿圭本可不予理會，逕自走過，但他卻莫名其妙地停下步伐，應答稚童。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8GBlsMGti
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXPfTRkxje
「其實我也不喜歡龜，奈何我偏偏與龜有緣。」稚童慨嘆。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWw4EpU1It
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2CLVqo7RS
「我也是。」阿圭苦笑，邁步踏進店門。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRokFuXHw14
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQPqHLmK94
店面盡處有一櫃枱，枱上有一隻小龜和一隻老龜。阿圭與小龜四目交投，彼此眼神如出一轍。阿圭笑了，隨手將一把硬幣置於枱上，然後抱走老龜。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvXnylRmbm
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VDw1o8KF3
踏出店面，世界重歸吵鬧。阿圭驀地記不起自己為何會買下老龜，但時間不容許他再作多想——快要遲到了！他只得帶著老龜回校。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyauIfx4Df
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMAlPF4nLV
阿圭甫進入學校範圍，學長馬上察覺老龜的存在，上前向阿圭索龜把玩。阿圭不依，對方乾脆強搶。阿圭身細力弱，眼巴巴看著老龜被帶至不知何處去。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDJoYBln7Q
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVXODTzGKW
午飯時間，學長笑咪咪的告訴阿圭，老龜正在操場等待他。阿圭心叫不妙，馬上衝往操場。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2KmGKOAm4
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWOdAwZBGi
沿路上，同學們不懷好意地或瞟或瞥，背著阿圭竊竊私語。阿圭心急如焚，急步走遍操場每一角落，尋找老龜影蹤。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp8IdjvX6s
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp4wvyo0Xo
不果。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSL3zcwb0D
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW11HP1Waab
午餐時段即將完結，飢腸轆轆的阿圭乏力跌坐種在場邊的槐樹下。綠葉繁盛，樹影婆娑，或搖或擺的斑駁葉影令人眼花撩亂，但阿圭從中看出異樣。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDlv17ftK9
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0LEyxavJA
他不敢置信的抬頭一望——366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUINuqhKsro
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B1ag1GZPQ
老龜的長頸被魚絲緊緊套勒著，懸吊空中，隨風擺、隨風轉，像片葉。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpCK7vLN2h

葉莖斷，葉身落；龜頸斷，龜身落。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrHuFHFPvg

落地有聲。卜。清脆利落。
「不用那麼在意吧！學長跟你開玩笑而已。」老師暗責阿圭不懂寬容。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjxOdInhtb
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB0b0bqzji
「何必在乎一隻龜？反正花不了多少錢就可以再買一隻。」父母沒興趣關心阿圭，正如他們不認為老龜被殘殺有甚麼大不了。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIaJBBF8iG
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBvIzWqRm6
阿圭默不作聲，像龜。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiAGCnZ9PO

翌日，上學路上，阿圭再次走經水族店門前。小童再次喊話：「有興趣進來看看嗎？」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh33qPUMnpG
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTwcrB3iZO
阿圭不假思索，大步邁進。店內，無數龜隻被魚絲懸吊著，身首狀態介於「連」與「斷」之間。店面盡處的櫃枱上還是那隻小龜。阿圭與小龜四目交投，彼此眼神如出一轍。小龜笑了，背起阿圭，一同潛入位於櫃後的深水池中。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXlcAYSQM9

龜的世界。上學的龜，逛店的龜，回家的龜。殘忍的龜，懦弱的龜，無情的龜。殘忍的龜將人類吊死水草上，懦弱的龜懊悔自責卻不敢反抗，無情的龜漠不關心。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplwAt766Kj

小龜帶阿圭回到店內，說：「其實我不喜歡龜，奈何我偏偏與龜有緣。」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QTM7DiXFF

阿圭與小龜四目交投，彼此眼神如出一轍。
阿圭在龜的世界開設寵物店，將父母、老師和學長誘騙到店裡來，再將他們販賣出去。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRarwt6Hki

真期待他們被吊死水草上的畫面。
