Vanish

He woke up one day
Got out of bed
and walked to the bathroom.
He Stared at himself in the mirror
then splashed his face.
*SPLASH*

The cold water felt refreshing

He walked back into his room
got his pack of Marlboro
and lit his morning cigarette.
He reached for the TV remote
anxious about the news;
No signal
He looked at his phone
Not working.
walking down from his room..
he rushed to the door
as he forced it open
the light glaze pierced his eyes
He covered his eyes
After his iris reworked its way back to being normal

He opened them to find Nothing..
His house is empty
There are no neighbors
No life around
The sun is bright in the sky
and the air is dusty
He looked around no one was there
All houses have been abandoned
Everyone has Vanished
no birds, no bugs.

Nothing
He screams loud
but only hears an echo of his voice
He goes back in
changes his clothes
gets his back pack

jumps into his car
and starts driving
he drives and drives until

he can’t drive

No-more
the city has been abandoned
life has been forgotten
He felt empty

He gets out of the car
and walks out into the desert
deeper and deeper
trying to get
anywhere
to anyone
to anything
but no,

He is no-where
it all
Vanished
his car disappeared

His legs tremble
He is worn out
Surrendering to the emotion
he Falls to the floor
closes his eyes
and never opens them again…
he to has,
Vanished
