Vivid memories are only the illusions

As I stepped out of the room to the crisp blue sky, the signs of freedom appeared. The birds’flying around. The cloudless blue sky. The soft cool breeze. I started walking down the flight of stairs. I noticed a shadow. It was coming closer. The shadow paused as I reached the bottom. Who is this shadow? Why did it stop when I stopped? Why didn’t it walk pass me? I looked up and saw ‘it’. A smile ‘it’ gave me. ‘It’ has grown much more handsome since the last time saw it. I gave ‘it’ no smile. I took a step to the right and then continued walking. ‘It’ quickly grabbed my left arm and pulled me back. I turned. ‘It’ asked “so aren’t you gonna say Hi?” Deep inside of me, wanted to say “Hi” while at the same time didn’t. Would I be rude not to say “Hi”? But what is there between us? Are we even ‘friends’? Or is ‘It’ just a figure of my imagination based on the crime ‘It’ did? I took a deep breath. The words didn’t want to come out. Another deep breath. Then the words, somehow, slowly came out. But I noticed another figure coming. This time a thinner figure approaching. It was approaching us. ‘It’ heard footsteps approaching. ‘It’ turned to see what it was. Then ‘It’ smiled. ‘It’ started to let go of my arm. ‘It’ opened ‘It’s’ arm and hugged it. I saw the figure looking at me. Was it jealousy? Hatred? No, it was more of an animal telling you that it’s their territory. Then they slowly walked away. Up the flight of stairs. So I turned and heading back to my original direction. That was the last time I saw ‘It’ again…
