3rd of January

3rd of January..... It was raining all day.

I woke up in the flat as usual but something was missing.
I looked around hopelessly trying to figure out what was missing.
The home phone and my wallet were still here.

Hmp! I walk into the living room hoping to find some more clues.

I walk through the flat checking every room for any memory of what I might have missed. I come the the end and the only room left in the apartment ....Jeff's room?

I knock loudly before waiting. I open the door slowly expecting a greeting like; "kuroko leave me alone!"
Or a "one second."
Or at the very least a "oh did I sleep in again?"

But nothing happend. The room was cold and dead. No living thing was in there. The bed looked un-touched .

Nothing and no one was in there. Where had Jeff gone? I asked myself.

~~~

That question went through my head all day intill my work shift started. I came up with every single scenario in my head.

Maybe he went out with a friend and stayed over at their house?
Or

he was drunk and passed out at a bar.
Or

he forgot his front door key and stayed at the neighbours house.

Maybe he was caught speeding and went into custody.

Or he got a day job and forgot to tell me.

~~~

I got in early to the bat and started getting ready. Jeff is still not here. I waited five minutes before I people came in. The boss was angery Jeff wasn't here , he is going to get fired.

I took a quick break when some other girl took over the bar. I took the rubbish out side to the bins.

I opend up a massive waste bin when I looked down. There was a big solid object taking up most the space. I placed the bin bag next to me as I reached out to inspect the strange dark object.

I screamed...
