Everything's so fluffy and muffled.
Fuzzy?
Definitely warm.

She feels a heat of someone laying next to her and starts to become aware of the blankets on top of her and the mattress under her.

"Ca——-Wake——p"
"Cam—-C—-Wake——"

Everything starts to become a little clearer.

"Cameron———-Up"
"Come on"
"Cameron, Wake up"

She opens her eyes to see Siri, a man she was afraid of a couple hours ago, but comforted by now.

"Hey, are you okay? You started freaking out earlier, what's wrong Cameron?" He asks with concern.

"What made you freak out that bad?" He questions

"Huh?" She tries to remember but everything's still a little hazy for her.

"There's no phone" She finally mutters.

"Yeah i didn't see your phone..?" He says confused because they had already talked about this.

"No There is no phone." She says, but he is still confused.

"There's no phones at all. There's nothing around here." She finally states.

"What do you mean? What's supposed to be here? Did you hit your head cameron?" He asks genuinely concerned now.

"Where did all the electronics go? There's no fucking microwave! What do you mean 'what are you talking about' This is fucking crazy!" She rushes out.

"Nothings changes cameron, what are you talking about?!" He's freaking out at this point.

She gets up and rushes out of her bedroom. He must've carrie her up there when she passed out earlier. She realizes the sun is setting.

The light switches don't work.

"Fuck! What the fuck is wrong with the lights?!" She yells.

Siri followed her down the stairs but watches with confusion as she seems to look around for something. She keeps hitting the things on the walls, but he's starting to think she's lost her mind.

"Cameron, what are you doing?! What are you looking for?!" He asks.

"The lights aren't fucking working and i don't know how to work the breakers, where the fuck is the fridge?!" She realizes that there really are no electrical devices left.

"Where the fuck did everything go?" She keeps frantically searching and searching for something, anything to know she isn't actually losing her mind.

"I don't know what the fuck you're talking about!" He rushes over and grabs her by the shoulders, "Nothings changed today and you're going crazy acting like something happened!" He explains to the young woman who's frantic.

She looks into his eyes and realizes he's not joking. He doesn't see the issue here.

"There used to be stuff here, where is everything?" She asks desperately.

"I swear cameron, nothing has changed. What stuff are you talking about?" He keeps trying to explain o the woman.

She slowly sinks to the floor, tears pooling in her eyes. Where did everything go? There's nothing here.

She sits there for about an hour, deep in thought. Where did the appliances go? Where is her family? She hasn't seen anyone all day. Where is her phone? Or any phone for that matter?

Siri gets up from his spot on the couch where he found himself an hour ago when she went silent.

"Cameron, it's getting dark, let's find something to give us some light tonight. Maybe some food? Are you hungry?" He asks with concern.

"No, not hungry. I'll find candles." Her voice is detached from emotion. Her stare blank as she thinks.

She gets up and find three red candles sitting on a shelf decoratively. One is bent, but it'll still work, no matter how ugly the candle is.

She finds a lighter in a drawer near the candles. She lights them and placed them around the large room and kitchen so they can see.

While she sets up candles, he is rummaging through cabinets to find food. He finds canned goods and junk food. It's really all that's left now that there's no fridge.

"My mom should be coming home soon" She says to him.

"Okay, maybe she can help us with whatever you were talking about earlier with the phones and stuff" He says distracted with the food he's preparing in front of him.

She continues looking around for her phone while he prepares some sort of dinner he's concocted from the canned goods he could find.

She never finds her phone.
