I woke up in my bed like usual.
It was oddly quiet, I couldn't hear my father snoring, the cats were quiet and there was no alarm from my phone.
So, I sat up and decided to message my friend.
'Hey, mornin'
I hit sent only to read:
'This message couldn't be sent.'
Strange, I thought.
I then got up to get orange juice. I walked out of my room into the living room. Dad wasn't in his chair like usual, and the car wasn't outside. None of the cats were around either.
I stop myself from getting my orange juice and run outside.
My cousin's car wasn't there. Any changes they made to their house was gone.
Out of confusion I began running. Where? I don't know. But I kept a lookout on the houses of people I knew. Either of which were gone or showed no signs of life.
I ran for what felt like a lifetime.
I fell to my knees, out of breath and still confused. I held my head and began thinking while I felt a migraine slowly building.
I cried.
I woke up.
