I’ve Crossed the Threshold of the Millennium (1)
Part 1 of artist/scholar Linda Lai’s multi-episode narrative poem on living across two centuries, a contemplation on time and space as experienced… written over a cup of hot chocolate - English version. 2018年元旦日，黎肖嫻用了一個小時呷著一杯和暖的巧克力。這樣，兩個世紀的心情、不同的時空對策忽然安好坐落在一個思維地表之上，連線起來。
總在你身邊（三）：再見「星巴克」
FP writer Wai-leung Lai turned his sentiments for the thick urban space of Hong Kong into fictional encounters in a serial. Part 3 seems to be a story of the person next door, whose emotions spill over three kinds of coffee-drinking. 黎偉亮寫實、描述、虛擬。是認知、理解世界的滾軸過程。說是故事其實是鄰家的她或他，沒有對錯，難分悲喜。真正的故事，始於敘事結束之後... ...，唯一實實在在的是可點可喝的咖啡。

妳/你，今天咖啡了嗎？
/ 四季美妙 (Vanessa Tsai) 妳/你，今天咖啡了嗎？ 咖啡，在高中拚命準備大學聯考時，跟他打了第一次照面！看著室友每天將雀巢咖啡粉佐以熱水，沖泡出飄散濃烈味道的黑色液體。每次聽著她握在手中的小湯匙，不斷在杯裡迴旋並敲打杯緣而發出叮噹聲響時，總相信著那黑色液體正如大家所言，可以提神。直到某次，因為模擬考[註一]前太過貪玩，室友和我兩個，準備用那神奇的黑色液體渡過考試前的那個夜晚。第一次拿起小湯匙取出顆粒大小幾近相同的黑色粉末。「嘿！我該加多少粉啊？」『隨便妳啊！加多一點就濃一點！』「那我泡濃一點好了！這樣應該就可以撐到明天考試！」就這樣，我生命中的第一杯神奇黑色液體，記憶中，只是啜飲了幾口，便不斷地加糖，可惜，不管加入再多，終究未能飲完。記憶中，室友試飲一口之後爽朗的笑聲依舊清晰，而，我的模擬考，就在胃痛中度過。第一次，真好！
