“Will you stay with me?” Annie angrily asked Nicholas.
Nicholas was quiet, he was afraid to answer, because he didn’t know the answer.
“I’m here now.” he finally said. “No you’re not” Annie replied “You’re never here, you were maybe some time ago, but I have actually no memory of it. Nicholas be honest to me, you were never part of me.”
“You’re right” he said “I was never there and I am not here now, but can you explain that to all those people whom have known you for so long?” Nicholas tried to look Annie in the eyes, but they were hidden behind her wavy locks of hair.
“Leave, Nicholas leave, leave me alone! If you’re not here then leave me alone!” Annie shouted without moving anything more but her mouth.

He opened his eyes, and turned on his left side, making his mattress squeak, a second later his alarm agonied Nicholas with its awful tone. It was friday morning August 31st 2001, after the weekend he’d start university. He got up to push the snooze-button on his alarm, but right before he did that he recollected his weird dream, the conversation with an older girl, she could have been his sister by the looks, he remembered. He then turned off the alarm instead of choosing for the snooze. It was strange that he recollected that last part of the conversation he had with that girl so vividly, normally he’d forget entire dreams in less than a minute after awaking. He picked up his trousers and a sweater from a chair and got dressed for breakfast, but first he walked to the sink in the corner of his room. He turned open both the warm and cold water and washed his face. “You’re not here, you don’t exist.” a girl’s voice whispered, making Nicholas jump away from the sink, splashing water all over his sweater. “What the fuck! Who said that!!” Nicholas yelled towards the mirror above his sink. It stayed silent, but Nicholas was still shaking for some reason. He walked back to the sink to turn off the water, he watched at himself in the mirror, but something seemed out of place. He went up close to the mirror, and watched himself in the eyes. A loud rumbling sound was coming closer, but it sounded like it was only in his head, because he felt no vibrations from the floor nor from the sink he was leaning on. Nicholas stepped back from the sink, the rumble was awefully loud now and he was unable to open his mouth and scream, at least he couldn’t hear it even if he did yell out. Then out of a sudden….. nothingness.

“I said so” Annie joyfully said out loud “you are not here, you simply don’t exist, you never have existed”. Full of happiness she looked at the white ceiling above her bed on that beautiful morning of Sunday October 21st 2007. “All those people love me because whom I am” she silently whispererd to herself. There was a sparkle in her eyes.
