“No you don’t understand.” I say shoving stuff off the counter onto the floor.

“Then help me understand.” Darshan replies stepping closer to me.

“I lost everything.” I shout banging my fist on the table.

How long would it take anyone to notice that I disappeared? Who would notice first? Would I ever be found? Would I want to be found?

I miss the street for my house and carry on walking. I don’t know where. I’m not planning on vanishing off the face of the Earth but I’ll just carry on walking for a bit. We still have hours of daylight left and I just want to leave town for a bit, get out into nat...
