A fern mask - A short tale
A fern mask
He was stunned: the stranger in front of him was exactly the same as the girl he had been dreaming about.
No one had warned him that those memory pills could also speed up his memories of other lives he had lived. Lives presented in dreams. For example, that girl who dreamed whispering things, to him hidden behind a fern mask, inciting him to follow her, showing him a mischievous and deep look, like the one he saw today in that man in front of him.
"What did that woman mean in her dreams and why did she present herself in the real world as a man? Is there a sign in this?" It was hallucinating, his mind did not stop: "Can we jump from one genre to another? Or better yet, can we choose who we will be in the next life? Or rather, in the following story, because I doubt that we live lives, it seems rather that we dream stories to which we give life and that time is in charge of limiting".
(End of 5 minutes)
"Today I have seen the most expressive eyes that I have seen in two different and equal beings at the same time, in double version: woman and man, dream and reality. But I no longer know which is which..." And while I was saying this to the the stranger in front of him, a curtain of leaves was materializing, and a leaf of fern began to unroll.

Thank you!
Fantastic story. Dream-like
I love that you liked it, my friend. It looks like a sequence of dreams, or a dream within a dream...
My aunt would say you choose and that is why I have a miserable life. I.say you vannot choose.

Certainly, I'm inclined to believe that something superior does.
It would be interesting to have such pills. And are we dreaming our reality? that is a question I do wonder about.
Ha,ha,ha...Pretty... right? What would our life be like?
