| 疲憊女孩 |
|
女孩。
一個女孩。
一個七歲的女孩。
她的母親非常愛她。
她的繼父也愛她。
母親是長期夜班。
她通常在晚飯後去上班。
女孩的家庭正在享用晚飯。
突然──
「我吃飽了。」女孩說:「我要去睡覺。」
「這麼早?」媽媽問。
「我很累。」女孩說。
女孩離開餐桌,然後走進她的房間。
「她最近的舉動怪異。」媽媽對繼父說。
「可能她晚上會想念妳。」繼父說。
「明天我要辭職。」媽媽說:「我有足夠的錢繳清房子貸款。」
繼父摸著母親的腰興奮地說:「太好了。」
「我就知道你聽到我辭職會開心。」媽媽說:「好了,我該去上班了。」
「好。」繼父說。
母親吻繼父一下,然後上班去。
隔天。
女孩坐校車到學校。
看樣子,女孩好像昨晚沒睡覺。
某些畫面一直在女孩的夢中。
這些畫面一直喚醒女孩。
她過去三個月都沒好好睡覺。
今天,老師一直在課堂上叫醒女孩。
「雯荻,妳最近怎麼了?」老師問。
「沒什麼。」女孩答。
突然──
女孩睡著了。
老師再叫醒她,可是這次卻無法叫醒她。
女孩暈過去。
醫院。
母親焦慮地等候醫生。
繼父正前往醫院。
醫生從急診室走出來。
「我女兒怎麼樣了?她為什麼會暈過去?」母親問。
「夫人,妳最好坐下來。」醫生說。
「不用。」母親說。
「夫人,我看妳還是坐下來比較好。」醫生說。
「不用。」母親抬高聲量地說。
「夫人,對不起。我們沒救醒妳的女兒。」醫生自責地說。
「我女兒怎麼樣了?她為什麼會暈過去?」母親問。
「怎麼會這樣?」母親喊說。
「我待會再跟妳說。」醫生說。
「告訴我!」母親流淚地喊說。
「她死是因為她過於疲憊」
「疲憊?怎麼說?」
「她缺乏睡眠,而且她參與令人疲憊的活動。」
「什麼活動。」
「某種活動。」
母親拉著醫生的衣領喊說:「我想知道一切。」
「性交。」醫生說。
突然──
一個器官停止運作。
是母親的心臟。
醫生馬上把她送到急診室。
母親很幸運地被救回來,可是女孩卻沒有。
我們所學習的功課:當醫生叫我們坐下,我們最好坐下。
Tired girl
Girl.
A Girl.
A seven years old girl.
A cute seven years old girl.
Her mother loves her very dearly.
Her stepfather also loves her.
The mother works on night shift.
She always goes to work after dinner.
Now, the family is having dinner.
Then—
“I am done,” says the girl. “I am going to bed.”
“So early?” asks the mother.
“I am tired,” says the girl.
The girl leaves the dinner table and goes to her bedroom.
“She is acting weird lately,” the mother says to the stepfather.
“Maybe she misses you at nights,” says the stepfather.
“I am quitting my job tomorrow,” says the mother. “I have enough money to pay off housing loan.”
The stepfather touches the mother’s waist and exclaims, “Great!”
“I knew you would like the news,” says the mother. “Well, it’s time to go to work.”
“OK,” says the stepfather.
The mother kisses the stepfather and leaves for work.
Next day.
The girl rides the bus to school.
It seems the girl did not get any sleep last night.
She kept dreaming some sort of images.
These images always wake her up.
She could not get any good sleep during the last three months.
Today, the teacher keeps wake her up for the class.
“Wendy, what’s wrong with you lately?” asks the teacher.
“Nothing,” the girl answers.
Then—
The girl falls asleep.
Again, the teacher wakes her up but she is unable to wake her up.
The girl passes out.
Hospital.
The mother waits for the doctor anxiously.
The stepfather is on his way to the hospital.
The doctor comes out from the emergency room.
“How is my daughter? Why did she pass out?” asks the mother.
“Ma’am you better sit down,” says the doctor.
“No need,” says the mother.
“Ma’am, it’s better for you to sit down,” says the doctor.
“No need,” the mother raises her voice.
“I am sorry ma’am. We would unable to save your daughter,” the doctor says remorsefully.
“How could this happen?” yells the mother.
“I will tell you later,” say the doctor.
“Tell me now!” shouts the mother with tears.
“She died because she was tired.”
“Tired? How?”
“She was deprived from sleep and she had been involve in a tiresome activity.”
“What activity?”
“Some sort of activity.”
The mother yanks the doctor’s collar and yells; “I want to know everything now!”
“Sexual intercourse,” answers the doctor.
Then—
An organ stops.
It’s the mother’s heart.
The doctor immediately put her in emergency room.
Luckily she was saved, but not the girl.
Lesson we learn: When the doctor tells you to sit down, you better sit down.
