Maddison Williams..
The name dances through my mind like a match in darkness, flickering.
Who is Maddison.... Well, the last person to check this book out apparently, and that specific number of missing people..
17.
Are they linked...
No. Stop being stupid I tell myself,
Without hesitation I ran to my laptop and opened the Internet, who are the 17 people that went missing?
I looked it up, police files, court cases,
The names...
Chase Kendall, Marie Plainsfield, Megan Elliott, Daniel Troyton, Pauline Cameron , Shawn Hubbard, Brad Wood, Andrew Doyle, Tamils Hunter, Izzy Mclawrence, Jess Taylor, Harry Aline, Ashley Chester, Jasmine Harvey, Alexis Johnson, Lydia Barnett and the newest disappearance, Maddison Williams.
I open the book again, afraid.
The list.
The list of the people who checked this out...
Chase Kendall, Marie Plainsfield, Megan Elliott, Daniel Troyton, Pauline Cameron , Shawn Hubbard, Brad Wood, Andrew Doyle, Tamils Hunter, Izzy Mclawrence, Jess Taylor, Harry Aline, Ashley Chester, Jasmine Harvey, Alexis Johnson, Lydia Barnett and finally, Maddison Williams.
What.
Now...
Now I'm scared.
My eyes draw heavy and my limbs began to lock in place.
The same names.
The exact same people.
They're gone.
A list of lost people.
How is this even possible?
What's going on.
Questions fly along my train of throughly, voices screaming, my head became noisy, so noisy it hurt,
Silence again.
The train crashed, came to a standstill.
This is stupid, really... Really stupid.
People don't just disappear, they don't.
It isn't possible.
Half of my was petrified and the other half was laughing at my stupidity.
A silly coincidence and a mix up of names?
Or a list of lost souls, with me now added..?
