Myths, legends and folk stories. Fantasy. Historical facts and imagination. Mysteries and supernatural events. Stories orally passed from generation to generation, with some changes as they have been told. They are not lies, they are not true as well, they simply exist. But if they have been defended and survive in people's memory, maybe there is some real fact in it…

Yes, legends exist.

Memory is a funny thing. Sometimes we forget important things, sometimes we remember what we don't need to. And thus we are living, with our disturbing life, day-by-day. The clock is running, the city is burning, and we don't even remember what we forgot.

But legends, they are never forgotten.
Yes, there are legends.

One day, when I was young, I took a train to a city called Noremembrance, and I met a guy called Time. He sat by my side and began to talk to me. He told me a very weird story, but he said it was true.

He said that there was an awkward little place, in the middle of nowhere, called Unmemorable, and believe it or not, there were strange chickens attacking the local population. If I remember correctly, and won't miss the details, I will tell you exactly the way Time told me.

It all began when a big truck coming from Forgettings, another place nearby, crashed and fell down on a little street, which nobody knew where it was. In this truck there were a lot of chickens and some roosters, which because of the crash, they were free. They quickly spread themselves and looked for refugee. The inhabitants tried to capture them, but they were very smart and hid themselves. The population of chickens and roosters increased. From dozens of eggs a day, hundreds and thousands were being hatched. In a little time there were more poultries than people.

The food for the poultries was coming to an end, and since then, they began to attack people. First the little children. One here, another one there. They liked and began to attack boys and girls. The adults tried to stop them, but it was impossible.

The chickens had become too strong, and the roosters were like giant hawks. In a week we could see a lot of deaths, men and women bleeding and dying because of the bites. Parts of their body were torn when they were still alive. It was a really horror nightmare. A few inhabitants that remained there, abandoned the place with scars and injuries.

The place became forgotten in time and nobody went back there anymore…neither the Time.

I don't know what happened after that event with the animals, and with the place, and nothing more I can say, because parts of my remembrances are gone.

My name is Memory, and since I met Time, I began to have momentary lapses, and Time is slowly erasing me. But the legends, these ones won't be ever forgotten.

In Norse mythology Thor had a knock down drag out wrestling match with an old woman. Thor, who had never been beaten, lost. The old woman was Time. I would have liked your story better if Time had beat the shit out of somebody. I nominate Memory. Good luc
