the package of diapers caught her eye and the weight on her heart expressed through saddened oceanic hues. a reminder ; her baby sister is counted as one of the missing. still learning to be potty-trained , she barely had a chance to live her life. be a kid , grow up – do better than she could ever do. pearly whites clench beneath her lips as the curtains fell upon her eyes , a smile strained upon painted red lips , “ you have a child or are you planning to get creative in the future ? “ she asked with a slight edge to her ton not entirely being able to recover from her wandering thoughts. “ do you know how to knit or sew ? “ 

lips curved into a soft smile, as she thought of her child. he just mere months old, she was far too lucky to not have lost him. if that ever had come to be, she wasn’t all too sure how she would have fared ––– mentally, at least. “ i have a child, yes. his name is luca. ” it was evident by her smile just how happy he made her. he would have been there with her, by her side. it was rare when she was not with him, but one of the girls she worked with volunteered to take care of him for the day. and she trusted her enough to say yes. “ of course i do. who doesn’t ? ”

“oh yeah…i know,” jayden replied, he pulled his phone out of his pocket and put his music on pause. he knew her, and she seemed upset. even though he was trying to ignore his own thoughts that didn’t mean he couldn’t lend an ear to someone who probably needed to vent. “hopefully people will come to their senses soon and we can figure out what’s exactly going on and if there is a way out of here-…” he told her as he slid his phone back into his jeans pocket. “you have anybody here with you at least? i mean-…that didn’t vanish?”

𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐝 ––– that, she knew. some didn’t even treat the situation as urgent. she doubted some would even come to their senses, at least she knew it would never come to be unless it was already too late. “ i wish it were that easy, i don’t think any of them even care. do you think it’s possible, though ? to leave ? ”  

it all seemed like a bad joke, really. or a horrible nightmare. “ i have my brothers with me, i guess it isn’t that bad. what about you ? ” she didn’t want to pry too much, she knew some people lost it all. it was truly heartbreaking to see.

𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝, and it showed. how not to be ? when the world they once knew turned upside down. hell, they didn’t even know what truly happened. they were all just simply gone. she heard many explain how they could have all woken up to another parallel universe, but she didn’t even know what to believe in anymore. the fact that they couldn’t seem to leave, was what worried her the most. it was as if being jailed with strangers, on an open world where anything could happen. but ––– she could not let their environment fail, they needed order, they needed to pretend that everything would be okay. perhaps then, everything would. but who was so sure anymore ? 

she picked up a box of diapers, and set them aside as they did inventory. “ i’ll keep these, i not so sure how we are rationing this but, i guess i’ll have to use cloths or something when the time comes. ” it was almost sad, how everything seemed to be so limited. next they knew, food would be over and then –– she wasn’t so sure what they would do then.

“ HEY “ caelynn has never been a stranger to the streets ; blood bonds carried a wintry chill .outside those walls , something much warmer welcomed her . the freedom felt like the perfect remedy , one could only imagine. or even dare to hope. bronze lips pull into a scowl as she falls from a fire escape at a calculated height – landing successfully in front of the person caught in her sights. 

“ i’d turn around if i were you. “  her stance exuded a powerhouse block ; unmoving and brought on by a good reason. or that’s the belief she carries with her. 

the voice resonated along the alley, though little regards she had for it or the person who it belonged to. a cigarette she took off lush lips, with a hint of annoyance as she faced the person. blue eyes looked at the girl, no one was a stranger –– not in a town like this. “ what ? ”

Jayden had managed to avoid most of the silence that plagued the town by listening to music on his phone. Of course it didn’t always keep his mind off of the situation they were all going through, but it certainly helped. He was dancing through the library with the music blasting through his earbuds on high. He figured it was very unlikely for someone else to be there, and well even if there was, it wasn’t like he had anything to be worried about - he was a fairly good dancer. With his eyes closed, Jayden spun his way down another aisle of books while lip singing the last few lyrics to the song. It wasn’t until the song ended that he heard someone talking and his eyes immediately opened to see that he wasn’t the only one who had decided to visit the library after all.

He pulled one of his earbuds out of his ear and continued to walk down the aisle until he was only standing a few feet away from the other. “I mean that’s kind of the point of a library isn’t it, to be quiet? If you want noise, there are a few parties going on.”

𝐦𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟. never did once she thought someone else would hear her words, any less reply to them. what gaze once looked at the scenery outside through the vast glass windows, now shifted to the newcomer. though, she knew him. small town, small population –– it was difficult not to know people. perhaps she had never spoken to some of them, but she had definitely seen them. quincy shook her head ever so slightly, trying to prove her point. “ no, that’s not really what i meant. ” her body shifted so she could stare at the guy better. “ the town. it’s too ––– quiet. ”

she could not comprehend how some people found it so easy to party, how some could completely forget the situation they were in.

𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄. it plagued every corner of the town. a silence so unbearable, even the most sane could be susceptible of falling into a pit of madness. funny, that she yearned for it before –– but certainly not now. who would have thought she would miss the sounds of passing cars, the sound of strangers conversing with each other, of busy streets that were once so rampant with life. now, it was all too empty; eerie. it was still hard to adjust to this new life. to adjust to loss. to this familiar, yet alien land. confusion and restlessness still reigned, despite efforts on making everything work. to know that they only had so much to walk to, enclosed, like caged animals. she still had trouble sleeping, she still panicked from time to time. who could ever get accustomed with this reality ? 

“ it’s too quiet. ” ironically, libraries were supposed to be quiet. but in this day and time, it was far too real. even back then, there would be rustling of the pages, low murmurs, things being moved, the shuffling of people as they sat or left. and now there was nothing.
