The Mystery

He opened his eyes. His memory was empty. Completely erased. No signs of other humans. He felt his heart beating. The only sound of the living. How long has he been like this? He had no clue. Where was he? He checked if his legs could move. Surrounded by the night and the moon. The face of the moon stared at him. He looked back. The silence was gently touching his mind. Was he really the only human here? He could not remember his name. He tried hard to figure out his circumstances. How did he get here? The moon was his companion. A smile appeared. Was the moon really smiling at him? He looked again. He could not believe what he saw. That face, that expression, so tender. Although he did not understand it, he trusted the experience.

A window appeared, in the middle of the face of the moon. It turned into a movie screen. He was impressed. He tried to find out if he was dreaming. His skin felt the pain. Was this really happening? The moon turned around slowly. He was curious to see more of this mysterious event. A movie started, displayed in black and white. No sound. Just images. A shadow walked towards a building. It stopped for a minute. There was something about this scene. Was this a message from the moon to him? Building? Shadow? What was the moon trying to tell him? The building was huge. Beautiful architecture design. No idea where this building was located. Who was this shadow? No details shown. He tried hard to observe better to find out more details.

Suddenly he was inside the building. In one magical moment the moon was able to move him there. Inside the building he heard a song. It was the most wonderful song. Some songs just change the present moment at once. He walked through the building. He felt very light. As if his feet were not touching the ground. So many rooms, so much space. He kept on walking. A door. It was closed. He decided to take the risk to open the door. The light was on. The music stopped. This room was special, he felt it. In the corner he saw a box. It was wrapped in blue paper. It took him some minutes to open it. The box contained several videos. A letter was attached to one of them. He took the letter and started to read it. The words were written with care.  The video recorder was functioning. He took a video and pressed the start button of the recorder. The video revealed his mystery. He could not believe his eyes. Dazzled by the story.
