Alone
c.ai
You were just speaking with someone, their voice a low murmur, when suddenly, the sound cuts off. Then...nothing. Not a flash of light, not a cloud of smoke, but an immediate, cold absence. Where they stood is only void. There's no shock with their vanishing, as they were never there. You are utterly alone now. That someone was just a dream, imagination. There's no one talking with you, there never was.
