It was one of those dreams, that you feel they're symbolic and have really deep meaning, but at the end they seem so grotesque. Action took place in a large spaceship system, abandoned and dark. There was a five man group that found it in the outskirts of the universe, and decided to scavenge it to find something interesting. Cooling systems were broke and all pipes were rusty, so everything was wet and sticky. The only sources of light were flashlights. They decided to split into two groups of two and one man alone. They couldn't find anything, there were only metal scraps and plastic rubble. Corridors were narrow and sometimes impassable, so it was hard to move. They were lost - they couldn't find the exit in that dark maze. As the flashlights began to flicker, overwhelming fear reached the scavengers. They started to hear noises - unfortunately, it wasn't in their minds. Two of them were killed by something called Black Beast, I didn't saw it because it was dark, and when it tried to reach someone, the action was moved to another man. One of them was infected by a strange disease, that turned him into a pile of bloody flesh. And I don't know what happened to the other one. The one who was alone survived, and found his way to cockpit room. Visibility increased, and everything was bathed in red light. On the left, in the bathroom, lied dead - or unconscious - body. On the right was a pass to dining room, and I noticed that there was something. And it floated here, to the cockpit. It was the devil. His emaciated, red-skinned figure wasn't really intimidating - he wasn't really big, he didn't looked frightening. He had a pair of long, gnarled horns, of course, and his slim face seemed what could be a hybrid of rat, orc and human. What was the most surprising, was that he wore a pair of blue pants with a hole for his long tail. He floated in the air with his legs crossed and hands on his knees. He looked at the man, and asked him. "What do you want?" The man was too shocked to say anything. "I can show you all the secrets of the universe." "..." "For a price." "What price?" "Your soul." "I don't give you anything." "Then you may return." He passed out, and then woke up in his spaceship, alone. And there was no abandoned spaceship anymore.
