一夜惡夢的盡頭

但恐怖的事情並沒有就此結束。 小考拉的腸胃像被扔進滾水裡， 一波又一波地翻攪， 痛到連他自己都無法形容。 整整一晚， 他不是坐在馬桶上，就是倒在廁所的冰涼地板上。 只要一離開廁所，下一秒又被痛醒， 踉蹌地跑回去。 來回、來回、再來回—— 他早就數不清第幾趟了。 身體已經被折磨得虛脫， 手腳冰冷， 臉色白得像紙， 兩眼無神到彷彿靈魂被抽走。 阿英姨在門外聽得心都碎了。 「可憐的孩子……到底發生什麼事了？」 她焦急、心疼，卻完全找不到答案。 到了最後， 小考拉已經拉不出任何東西。 腸胃空得像被掏空一樣， 身體也完全撐不住了。 他終於倒在房間的床上， 在極度虛弱中昏昏沉沉地睡著， 像是累到暫時失去感覺， 也像是這場一夜惡夢暫時放過了他。 但誰也不知道—— 這晚的痛， 只是某件事情的開端。 --- EN： But the horror didn’t stop there. Koala’s stomach felt as if it had been thrown into boiling water, twisting and churning in relentless waves of pain. The entire night, he was either sitting on the toilet or lying on the cold bathroom floor. Every time he tried to leave, a new surge of pain forced him to stumble back. Back and forth— so many times he lost count long ago. His strength drained away completely. His limbs turned cold, his face turned ghostly pale, his eyes dull as if his spirit had slipped out of him. Aunt A-Ying stood helplessly outside the door. “My poor child… what on earth is happening?” Her worry and fear deepened with every sound from the bathroom. Eventually, Koala couldn’t pass anything anymore. His stomach was empty, his body exhausted beyond limit. He collapsed onto his bed, and in his extreme weakness, he drifted into sleep— not restful sleep, but the sleep of exhaustion, as if the nightmare had paused for now. But no one knew— this night’s torment was only the beginning.
