    忘了上樓的哈姆小呆

    這時候只有雜文一篇伴隨妳去哈姆天堂。

    一年半前哈姆小呆來到我們家的時候,我們還住在斯巴頓村。我一向對PET沒啥招架之力,這倒並不是指沒有抗拒的意思,而是天生的能躲就躲。能夠這麼自然的相處倒是第一次。不過那樣的自然或許是我在貝蒂熟練的加持下所產生的假象,沒多久我就因為忘了替呆關門,讓她才幾個星期大的情況下,就跑進暖氣的熱管裏去。我跟貝蒂越是想幫她,越是讓她往書房和臥室的中間的木板夾層鑽去。就這樣、我們在外面乾著急,她越是享受洞穴的溫暖。花了好大一番功夫才用水果口味的TREAT把她給請出來了。看這她全身沾滿了灰塵和知蛛絲,不經莞爾。貝蒂用盡好大一番功夫才有辦法用水幫她洗澡。我看著那樣的情景和貝蒂的COMMITMENT,懵懵懂懂或有所識的感覺到這恰巧激起的漣漪或許一點也不偶然。

    有的時候我都懷疑到底誰是誰的寵物。我們每天晚上十點十一點,一定要像舍監一樣,把哈姆們一隻一隻的拎出來點名,並把她們放進空心透明的球裡跑步。不先消耗一下她們的體力,最後遭殃的可是自己,接下來的整晚,她們就是有辦法跑整晚的滾輪,讓你哭笑不得、無法入眠。

    就這樣自然的伴隨著小呆過了一年多的生活。中間也多了幾隻哈姆,也看著朋友的生活多了哈姆的樂趣,小呆還是我們的最愛。兩個多月前的某一個晚上,小呆突然從她住的高塔上連同白色的紙團BEDDING搬到一樓去了,起初不以為意,畢竟哈姆搬家也不是第一次。但是漸漸的我和貝蒂注意到她不再上樓的原因並不是真的想要搬家,而是上到二樓對她來說已經是一件吃力的事情了。於是乎,在哈姆的短暫歲月裡,小呆決定要老了,像是看盡世面般的豁達,迥異於我們旁觀者的依依不捨。

    這幾天她連吃東西也都很吃力,其實我和貝蒂也都有了心理準備,細心地餵著她喝牛奶。好吧,我該走了,她似乎在低喃著,就像她當初搬下樓去的堅持一樣的豁達。

    This is a very sentimental but loving farewell greetings. I suddenly realize how sad I could be just by thinking of those lovely creatures.

    Thank you all. Writing feeling is a tricky business, and I sometimes overstep... I guess there is really no good or bad when it comes to writing feeling...

    Well, that reminds me the character Jude Law played in "Closer". In fact, I don't think style is of any importance in terms of obituary writing. Anyway, this is a touching article. Good job, Louis!

    我是覺的你靜謐的筆調格外令人陷入追思過往的人事沕的情緒… 不是有一種工作是寫 obituary 的嗎…
