It had been a beautiful day, and she had laid out her towel and book, ready for an afternoon of relaxation. Emily looked at her watch. “WHAT?!” she screamed. “That was almost seven hours ago?!!” Her eyes darted around, scanning the desolate, dim beach. “What is going on?! What happened to me?!”
Emily’s heart pounded as she frantically scanned the empty beach. Seven hours were missing from her memory, wiped completely clean. What had happened during that time? Where has everyone gone? The stillness around her was suffocating, like the entire world had simply vanished.
