You wake up in your bed on a school day. You look outside of the window next to your bed. "it's bright out," you think to yourself. "Did mom sleep in?" You tried turning on your phone...it looks like it didnt charge. You sit up and look behind you at the clock. it's stopped exactly at 12:00..."Does nothing work today?" you said quietly to yourself. You wanted to know what time it was so you can make sure you werent late for school. You got up and walked out of your room and downstairs. "Mom?" you called. No response. "Mom!" you called again, with a stronger, more serious tone. No change. You look outside to see her car still there in the driveway. "Where could she be?" You asked yourself. You walk to the front door and look around. It looked to be around noon. But you noticed something else...no one was here. Usually there'd be people on these streets walking around, especially at noon. Did you miss an evacuation drill? No...the siren would've woken you up. But that's the only explanation right now.
You start walking around, looking around, wondering where everyone went.
"Helloooo??" you called out. It felt like a void. There was no sign of life. Just you. And only you. Left alone. Completely Alone.
Isolophobia.
