Erased from my life

 Yawning, I went down the stairs. "Mum! Is breakfast ready yet?" Silence. I frowned. Walking faster, I entered the living room. I stood in shock. There was no one, and the furniture was gone. I quickly ran to my parents bedroom. The bed was empty, and there was no one. My heart started pounding, where are they? Going back to the kitchen, I made myself some food, and sat down on the bench. They probably had just gone to a work meeting. But why had they taken the furniture? I waited. The day passed, and they sill hadn't come home. Then I spotted something on my dad's desk. 

A ticket. It was a plane ticket. Had they...Then the door opened suddenly, as my dad rushed in. Looking around, he saw the ticket and ran towards it. I was so relieved. "Dad, where have you been?" But he just grabbed the ticket and said to himself, "Oh no, we won't get to the airport in time!" "Dad!" I shouted, trying to get his attention. He didn't even look at me. I reached out, trying to grab him, but I fell over, as my hand went right through him! I was so scared. Then something caught my eye. The family picture on the wall. It had always been there, a picture of my parents and I, taking a selfie. But I wasn't there anymore. There was only my dad and my mum. Horror washed over me. This isn't real, this isn't! I kept repeating to myself. How could it be? Yesterday night my parents could still see and hear me, and now they can't. But then, I remembered something. 

That night, my mum had gave me a big lecture, and I was very angry. I went to my room and opened up my computer. I opened up Siri so I could just have someone to talk to. "HI Siri." Hello, how can I help you?" "I want to be erased forever, because I don't want to be here anymore." I said, as I was still very angry. "Ok." Said Siri. I didn't take it seriously. What could a robot like Siri do? And the anwser was, a lot. Because now, I was actually erased from my life. No one remembers me anymore.

  1. Another awesome story Wendy. So sad! It had me thinking how awful it would be if you were here one day and gone the next. Another way to indicate the night before is to say 'last night'.
