彼方的神庙

旅馆前台左侧的墙上挂着一张酒店外观照片。头次住这家酒店，也是第一次看到这张照片。网上订房时心里有事，房间都是随便选的，没在旅店网站上看它的图片。可现在墙上这张照片却让我感到一丝诡异的熟悉，好像曾在哪儿见过。心底虽感觉那大概是错觉，可还是不能于心释然……点击文章标题👆阅读全文 ->
Temple on the Farside
1 On the side wall of the reception desk hung a framed photo of the hotel’s exterior. I was sure it was the first time I had seen it; I had booked the room without much browsing on the site.
