Memories

Today I was given the memory of snow. The giver (the receiver told me to call that) told me to lay on the bed face down. He placed his hands on my back, I fell asleep. The room was absolutly quite, there wasn't any sound, at all! I felt really weird, with someone else's hands on my bare back, when I didn't even know him. His hand suddenly started to get colder, i felt awkward. While I was breathing, my breath started cooling down aswell. I licked my lips, and felt the cool air. I was feeling cold, my entire body was freezing! My eyes were still closed, I couldn't feel the Giver's hands anymore. I stuck out my tongue again, I felt cold on only one particular spot on my tongue,like a dot of cold fell on my tongue. The coldness disappeared faster than one second. Suddenly, more and more of those dots fell on my tongue. It was a very pleasant feeling.I knew I was still laying in the Annex room, but another part of me also knew I was sitting on a sled in the snow.The snow looked like cold fur, it looked very soft. The sled went downwards, along the hill, I was still sitting on the sled. As the sled went quickly through the snow, beside the sled snow was swooshing smoothly along the sled. I smiled of happiness. When I opened my eyes, I was still in the exact same position, laying on the bed. I had the old man looking at me, he asked, "how do you feel?" I didn't reply very quickly but I told him I was surprised, which was true.He said he doesn't have that memory anymore now. I could go on a sled again he told me! I was so exited because it was so much fun. I wish we had those sleds and hills and snow in the Community, the I could do that every day. The giver told me snow, hills and sleds didn't exist anymore because of climate control.We both wanted all those things to still exist.
