The Making of a Ghost. Runner-Up in The Moment That Changed Everything Challenge.
The road into Grayson felt longer than Danny remembered. It was still the same cracked stretch of asphalt cutting through fields of nothing, but it had been nearly twelve years since the last time he’d traveled it, crammed into the backseat of his parents’ old sedan, surrounded by the boxes that wouldn’t fit in their moving truck. He had stuck his head out the window then, watching the town shrink behind them, certain that he’d never return.

Blind Visions
It was a complicated case of the blind leading the blind. In March of 2018, we took our son for his annual eye exam to get updated eyeglass prescriptions. That year he was 20/70 and 20/80.

NOITULOVE. Content Warning.

“Good morning, Reya. Have a great day!” Carl’s familiar greeting broke through the quiet morning air. “Thanks, Carl, you too!” Reya waved back, offering the same smile she had worn for weeks. Her voice sounded more automatic than she intended, the words slipping from her lips without much thought, mechanical, like they were on autopilot. The joy those daily exchanges once brought her had faded, losing their charm after her friend Lila disappeared last year.

They’ll say it’s the flicker of screens, the collective gasp of billions, the eerie, suffocating silence that swallows the world. But nah, the real shit happens before. The moment just before the darkness, when a single notification sears through the air like a bitch slap to humanity.
