Reminders
--Hsiu He, translated by Kama
1. The Safe
The "Black Dog" from the Pawnshop downstairs sold my mother a safe
The 12 kilogram thing was put in the living room pretending an end table
It has a three-number combination
1. Turn the dial right five turns
2. Turn the dial left three turns
3. Turn the dial right two turns
If the lock code is forgotten
The only way to open the door is with a brazing torch
In my mother's last days
I opened the safe several times everyday
For her to change her treasures in it
My father asked me "What's in it?"
I said, "I don't know" (really, at that time)
My father said, "Can you open it to take a look?"
I said, "I forgot the numbers" (now, it is real)
2. The Central Monitor Station
The Taiwan SECOM set four monitors for us
At the front door, living room, my room and my parents’ room
The central monitor station was put in my room
Kept making a low roaring noise and chewing the time away
Every night at 11 pm we fast-forwarded my mother’s life
To help her make sure today’s memory
The wrist watch was still put under the pillow
The key was hid in the icebox of the fridge
The pills were in the drawer of my desk
The day my mother past away father pulled its plug out (He didn't know how
to stop recording)
In which there was my mother's
30 days
3. The Cell Phone Number
091006XX09
This Chunghwa Telecom number was still under my mother's name
A Counter staff asked me, "Want to stop the service or terminate the
contract?"
And patiently explained the differences between them
I thought stop the service then but checked the box of "contract termination"
Because of my absentmindedness
There was another one of my mother's reminders
I lost
遗物
--许赫
1.保险箱
楼下当舖的黑狗卖给母亲一只保险箱
12公斤重放在客厅伪装成茶几
要设3组密码
第1组右转5圈
第2组左转3圈
第3组右转2圈
如果忘记密码
门只有焊枪才能烧开
母亲最後的那一段日子
我每天要打开保险箱几次
让母亲更换她的宝贝
父亲问我那里面有什麽东西
我说不知道(当时是真的)
父亲说能不能打开看看
我说忘记密码了(现在是真的)
2.监视器主机
中兴保全为我们架设了4部监视器
大门、客厅、我的房间、父母亲的房间
监视器主机在我的房间
不停止地发出低沉的吼声咀嚼着时间
每天晚上11点
我们快转母亲的人生
帮她确认今天的记忆
手表还是放在枕头底下
钥匙藏在冰箱冷冻库
药都在我书桌的抽屉
母亲过世的那天父亲把电源拔掉(他不知道怎麽停止录影)
那里面有我的母亲
30天份
3.手机号码
0910068709
这个中华电信的号码在母亲名下
柜台人员问我要办理停止通话还是解约
并耐心解释两者的差别
心里想着停止通话却在解约栏打勾
因为迷糊的关系
母亲的遗物又一件
被我弄丢了
