尖叫 (2016年度冠军作品)
文/飘尘

        从她记事起，她就常听到莫名其妙的尖叫，有时在睡梦中，有时是上课时，有时在走路时。
每次听到尖叫的声数不等，有时一声，有时两声，有时甚至十几声。每一声尖叫，都叫得惊心动魄，令她毛骨悚然。她问周围的人是否也听到了尖叫，周围的人一脸茫然。
        十六年来，看了许多医生，但查不明原因，只有放弃。
        她以为尖叫会伴随她一生，她为此感到
绝望。直到她陷入热恋中，尖叫出现的频率居然减少了。等到她意识到她已五个月没听到尖叫时，她特别惊喜。以前十多年来听到的尖叫，就像一场噩梦。现在，梦醒了。
        再次听到尖叫，是她决定在医院做手术时。一声尖叫，叫得她头皮发麻；再一声尖叫，叫得她疼痛难耐；三声，四声，五声……她蹲在了医院的台阶上，慢慢蜷缩成一团，如在母亲的子宫里。
        周围一片混沌，她发现尖叫是由她口中发出的。母亲的腹壁被插入一根针管，插到羊膜囊中。针管注射进来的浓盐水，把她的皮肤灼得滚烫，并一点点萎缩。她不断地尖叫，一声又一声；她不断地躲避，却又躲不开，浓盐水逐渐沾满她的皮肤，她只能一声接一声地尖叫。
        母亲未婚早孕，要打掉她。她活了下来。早产导致并发症严重的她，居然顺利成长了。
周围的混沌散开，她回到了她即将年满十七岁的现实世界。她站了起来，她的手摸向已凸起的肚子，耳中隐隐约约还听到十七年前她还在娘胎里的尖叫。
         她向无痛人流科室凝视许久，还是走了过去。
        耳畔的尖叫，又大了起来，一声接一声，声音中掺和着婴儿头骨被钳子钳碎的声音。

Scream
By:Piaochen
        As long as she can remember, she has been hearing inexplicable scream, sometimes in the dream, sometimes in the class, sometimes on the way.
         Every time she heard different times of scream, sometimes once, sometimes twice, sometimes ten or more. Each scream was so frightening that it made her hair stand on end. She asked the people around if they heard the scream, but they were totally confused. She has been seeing a lot of doctors for 16 years.            Surprisingly, they did not find out the cause, so she gave up.
          She thought scream would accompany her life, so she felt helpless. The frequency of scream didn’t decrease until she fell in love. When she realized that she has not been hearing scream, she was very delighted. Before, the scream was in her life for over ten years, which was a nightmare. Now, She woke up from the dream.
         Once more she heard scream, she made up her mind to have an operation. The first scream made her very scared; The second made her the pain; the third、the forth、the fifth……she squatted on the steps of the hospital,  and slowly curled up into a ball, as if she was in mother’s womb.
        Around was in chaos. She found the scream was from her mouth. A needle was inserted into the abdominal wall of her mother, into the amniotic sac. Concentrated salt water was inserted from the needle made her skin burning and atrophied little by little.  She continued screaming, again and again. She kept on avoiding, but couldn’t get rid of it.          Concentrated salt water gradually stained her skin, which made her scream again and again.
Mother was pregnant unmarried early, and wanted to destroy her. However, she was alive. Although premature birth led to serious complications, she grew up smoothly.
         Chaotic around spread. She went back to the real world when she was 17 years old. She stood up, and touched the raised belly. The scream which was shouted in her mother’s womb  17 years ago was heard dimly.
        She stared at the department of analgesia stream of people diagnoses for a long time. At last she went in. Scream came one after another, mixed with the sound that babies’ skull was broken by pliers.


Note:  Scream wan the championship of flash fictions in 2016.
