守護天使

守護天使

升降機內只有兩名男乘客，一名肥一名瘦，他們各不相識。升降機向40樓緩緩上升，兩人抬頭望著「樓層顯示器」逐層跳動。突然「轟隆」巨響，升降機向下急墮！

升降機在28樓停了，瘦男人十分驚恐，大叫：「今次死梗！我今次死梗喇！」
肥男人反而好鎮定，安慰瘦男人說：「唔使驚！無事嘅！」
瘦男人絕望地：「無事？部lift搖搖吓，隨時斷鑬，28層樓呀！今次實死喇！」
肥男人微笑一吓，按警鐘通知大廈保安員，保安員透過對講機說：已經報警，消防員會盡快趕到。

肥男人安慰瘦男人：「睇吓！消防員好快就到，救我哋出去。」
瘦男人喊了出來：「嗚~~你唔知道…我呢排極度當黑、我係運氣最差嘅人，今次我實死！你跟我同一部lift，唉！我累死埋你呀…」

肥男人笑了出來：「哈哈！真係啱啦！我呢排極度當旺、我係運氣最好嘅人，今次實無事！你跟我同一部lift，哈哈！今次整定我救到你啦！」

瘦男人抹去眼淚，半信半猶望著肥男人，心諗：「一個最好運嘅人遇上一個最衰運嘅人，今次實生定實死呢？」
燈光一黑，升降機「轟轟隆隆」，由28樓再急墮，到15樓再次停下。

瘦男人嚇到半死，口疾疾：「又話你…好好彩嘅？點解…部lift…再跌架？」
肥男人：「無事嘅！其實…我…身邊有一個守護天…」
肥男人連「守護天使」個「使」字都未說出口，升降機突然直墮到大廈地庫B2/F。
隆然巨響！兩人躺在血泊中，奄奄一息。

瘦男人呻吟地問：「你又話…有…守護天使…保護你嘅…？」
肥男人氣若柔絲：「其實…其實…我嘅守護天使…係我…養嘅鬼仔，佢幫我…逢凶化吉…招財擋災…」
瘦男人痛苦地：「其實…其實…我都有…養鬼仔…不過我呢排…得罪咗佢…激嬲咗佢…佢反過嚟對付我…仲話要攞我條命…」
肥男人：「咁…兩隻鬼仔…係度鬥法…應該…打平手…點解搞成咁？…」
瘦男人：「你隻鬼仔…係邊度…收養返嚟？」
肥男人：「我隻鬼仔…喺深水埗…一個神打師傅…同我請返嚟…咁你呢？…」
瘦男人：「唉~~唔怪得喇…我隻鬼仔係喺廣西…啲苗族巫師…幫我請…凶猛好多呀！」
兩人講完最後一句說話後，吐出一生人中最後的一口氣，兩命烏呼。

南方一個特區城市，點可以跟有十三億人口的祖國匹敵？
土炮鬼仔又點能夠打贏國內惡鬼？
肥男人終於明白了這一個道理，但付出的代價卻是賠上了自己寶貴的生命。

講起守護天使，想起Wim Wenders的《柏林穹蒼下Wings of desire》和《呎尺天涯Faraway, so close》，講天使下凡到柏林，一個動凡心的故事。選了由U2創作的電影主題曲《Stay》。

Stay – U2

Green light, seven eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don’t smoke, don’t even want to
Hey now, i see you check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
The wheels are turning but you’re upside down
You say when he hits you, you don’t mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Oh, now, Is that what it is?

Red lights, gray morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who’s around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip sync with the talk show hosts

And if you look, you look through me
And if you talk it’s not to me
And when I touch you, you don’t feel a thing

If I could stay.. then the night would give you up
Stay, and the day would keep it’s trust
Stay, and the night would be enough

Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio waves
With satellite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin

And if you listen I can’t call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout I’ll only hear you

If I could stay.. then the night would give you up
Stay then the day would keep it’s trust
Stay with the demons you drown
Stay with the spirit I found
Stay and the night would be enough

Three o’clock in the morning
It’s quiet and there’s no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to the ground
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel hits the ground
