The memory

A black feather slowly falls from really high. "Whats is this feather doin' here, in the middle of the city's sunny day?"... A random woman tells you «I have the answer...», you follow her hesitating. She has a little store, you both go in, it's empty, nobody ever enters. «The feather never fell, you brought it» she said. You don't undersant at all what she meant. «Some part of you is calling for help» she adds. What is that supposed to mean? Is it maybe that there's something of your past that is not fixed? It has to be from the past, otherwise it wouldn't have been your child self the one you saw in your dream. And it has to be your past since it was your child self the one you saw in it...
«The real answer lives within you. The only answer I had was "The feather never fell". But it was the key, your key for your own maze». After saying this, she gives you a golden pencil. «I'm about to close, thanks for coming» she says. "What? It's still sunny, why would she close so soon? Doesn't make any sense... Whatever, this woman was really wierd at all".

The day ends, you lay on your bed, something doesn't let you sleep. "What's that smell?" Smells like oil, and it's really strong, it comes from under your bed. You crouch.

"What happened? Where am I?" Desert, this is a desert, a dry-soiled desert. You look everywhere and after a while you see something far away. While walking towards it, you notice something strange: the sky is blindin-white and at the top of it there's a black sun. You are closer to the thing you saw and you get to notice it's an old holed ship, so you start running to it to see if there's anybody around or inside it. You stand right a few steps away from it. Silence, complete silence... It hurts...
"Here's where the smell came from". You walk slowly towards it and «Stop!» somebody shouts. You don't see anybody anywhere. "It must be the heat", you are about to give one more step, «Stop!» again... The sensation is freezing, creepy... You look everywhere again, and you see something you didn't notice before, there was a red crow standing at the frontal corner of the ship staring directly at you. "Is that the voice? Go on, keep walking". Indeed, the crow was the one shouting you to stop, and it kept shouting as you were getting close, "Just ignore it, I need to find out what is goin' on".
There are stairs at one side of the ship to get in. You climb them up. Once you hit the ship's floor, the voice disappeared, "Where is it?". You look everywhere once again, until you finally notice that the red crow was down, laying dead on the dry-soiled desert's floor, "Why did it suddenly die?". You keep walking and see something shiny right in the middle of the ship, "Isn't that... the golden watch I used to wear when child? Maybe my child self is somewhere here!", so you walk towards it to pick it up, and before you reach it the floor crumbles, brakes and you fall.
