I received a call from Lauren and got into her car.

As we set off, the gloomy weather intensified. There was only a small patch of white in the sky, creating a stifling and eerie atmosphere.

"Damn this weather. It looks like heavy rain is coming. We really picked the wrong day for this," Lauren said as she drove, glancing at the ominously dark sky. "It's been so long since it rained."

As I looked at the rolling dark clouds, I remarked, "When I was a kid, I used to be terrified of this kind of weather. I always dreamed of a black sky with only a crack of light on the horizon. I would be so scared that I'd wake up, and my mom would give me a hug."

Lauren looked at me strangely. Puzzled, I asked, "What's wrong?"

She scrutinized me and asked, "When you were a kid?"

I absentmindedly nodded. "Yeah."

Even I was surprised by my own answer.

When I was a kid?

Did I have no childhood memories?

But these were distant memories from my childhood. I closed my eyes, focused, and felt a sudden headache.

I quickly opened my eyes, looked ahead, and took a deep breath, feeling a bit panicked.

Did I just remember something?
