You have met with a random stranger. Say hi.
You both speak the same language.

STRANGER:
-hey

YOU:
-hi
-Cats or dogs?

STRANGER:
-A motherfucking T-rex
-what's the ladie's answer?

YOU:
-*sigh* May I give you some advice?

STRANGER:
-Yeah, go for it!

YOU:
-I would start running if I were you.

STRANGER:
-For what?

YOU:
-Beef or pork?

STRANGER:
-Beef.

YOU:
-Just what I was afraid of.

STRANGER:
-Why? Stop scaring me.

YOU:
-You see, you adopt a T-rex. Imagine it.
-And you put it in a pen.

STRANGER:
-No
-Because the T-rex is my all time hero.
-Me and my brother's hero, even though I had scary nightmares about them, they're still cool.

YOU:
-I had nightmares about crows.

STRANGER:
-Sounds terrifying.

YOU:

-I would be in a big room, with white walls, a white ceiling and a white floor.

-I'd always be surprised to find myself there, just standing in a big empty room.
-I don't know where the light was coming from. I do know that it was bright and it reflected on all of the walls.

-The room didn't have any windows, nor doors for that matter. I would just sit and wait for hours sometimes it felt like days.

-Gradually the light would start to dim. And it the room would be pitch black before I even noticed it, but when I do, I blink three times and the light flashes on.

-On

-Off
-On

-Off

-Then one more time..

-On

-Then the corners turn pitch black.
-One crow

-Two crows

-Three crows

-Too many to count.

-They tilt there heads as they look at me, and I'm temped to come closer. The temptation grows..

-and grows...

-and grows...

-Until it feels like my head would pop, so I step closer.

-Step by step, one at the time, until I reach the crow that is nearest to me. I sit on my haunches an stick my hand out to the little guy.

-He looks at me with curiosity spelled out in his eyes.

-Before hopping on my hand, I lift him and stand up straight again.

-I lift up my hand to stroke him under his beak.

-As my hand is coming closer he diverts his eyes from my face and looks at my hand. I am about to touch his neck when he..

-He opens his beak letting out a horrifying shriek.
-In response I hold my hands over my ears, but the shrieking doesn't halt.

-After getting used to the sound I take my hand from my ears and I look at the crow I was holding a second ago. His beak is spread wide open and I can look down his throat.

-To see a girl stretching out her hand for me to grab, it then takes me less than a second to realize that she was the one who was making the sound.

-I try to grab her hand but as soon as my hand is only millimeters away from the bird he closes his beak and all the birds fly of into nowhere.

-I cover my face with my hands to protect myself from the crows that flew by me, leaving red scratches on my under arms.

-In the white room, that used to be pitch black from all the crows, I can see something shiny, I can't quite make out what it is.

-Once my eyes have adjusted to the bright lights I can see that it's something silver.

-It's something that has been pinned in the ground.

-When I squint I can see it's a pair of scissors, those vintage kind of scissors.

-I stick out my hand to touch it but I can't reach. As I try to take step towards the scissors they flah in an out of exsitence, each time coming a bit closer.

-Only the second when I touch the handle of the scissors, somethign pulls me up to the ceiling and A sudden pain stings in my back.

-That's when I wake up.


STRANGER:

Shit thats scary!


YOU:

-That's not even the worst.


STRANGER:

-Tell me!

YOU:

-When I wake up, my hair grows lighter and lighter and after every nightmare I have fress scratches on my arms. The scratches go away after a few hours.

STRANGER:

-And your hair?

YOU:

-White


STRANGER:

-...

YOU:

-Nobody believes me of course, and my parents think I'm cutting myself.

-I know it's true, the first time after I had the nightmare I found the scissors from my nightmare in my locker at school.

-I tried to pick them up and when I do, the girl from the nightmare stands at the end of the hallway mouthing "Thank You." Then crows would follow me everywhere.

-They don't go in any buildings, they kind of hang outside of the windows and follow me around in the air when I'm walking through town.

STRANGER:

-You should maybe get some help

YOU:

-The crows help me, I like them they're my friends.

STRANGER:

-Id like to be your friend :)

YOU:

-Thanks
