Enjoying the weather, David decided to explore a new part of town. He found the town more desolate than usual, he wondered where everyone was. The area began to have a thick fog surrounding it, blowing an elusive breeze. In the distance an outline of a person had begun to take shape. As he began to get closer he noticed it was a young boy facing away from him. Moments later the boy turned around and David saw him clearly. The mysterious boy was five or so feet tall, pale, wearing a suit and had short black hair. David noticed something about the boys face; his eyes were grey, not the pupils but the entire eye. Before words were spoken David noticed that the boy’s attitude changed from apathetic to almost glad to see him. Nervously David uttered a hello but the young boy felt reproach and had replied “It is bad manners to not introduce oneself first.”David told the boy his name and the boy had said his name was “Harry.” David began to fluctuate nervously. He had begun to ask Harry if he knew where everyone was and why he was alone when Harry stopped him.”Well, you might find this incredulous but, they have all…disappeared. As for me, I was enjoying the quiet darkness of the street, waiting for you.” Harry pointed at David spoke. David had felt perturbed, he wasn’t sure what he should do, but then Harry spoke again. “Now that you’re finally here, I’ve got a proposition for you. First, if you could have anything in the world what would you want?” David thought about it and said “Peace, World Peace. Why?” Harry chuckled, “Because I can give it to you. Now for the next part, the price…” David didn’t understand what was happening and didn’t believe him. Harry must have seen what he was thinking for he said, “You don’t believe me, I can tell but you can trust me I promise. All you need to say is that you truly want it.” David thought about it when he was interrupted again. “And I will only take the payment when your wish is granted.” David thought he was feigned but was sure he had nothing to lose. He asked for world peace and the deal was struck. In the same moment David spoke the last word Harry lunged at David to suppress him. David Barely dodged him as he ran to the left and around Harry. He ran for awhile before stopping to look back. There was no sign of anyone around, so he relaxed. As David relaxed he heard a noise from behind him. It was Harry, hands in his pockets, smiling and chuckling “whew, you are a fast one…”he looked angry, “…but it seems you are more obstinate then the others.” David was scared and wanted to run but, his legs couldn’t move. Slowly darkness was spreading around him he wanted to scream but no sound could, like him escape. David awoke suddenly Frightened by what had happened. He left his bed and went down stairs, passing empty rooms and chairs. He went in the kitchen and cooked breakfast still haunted by his dream. After he ate he went back up and got dressed for the day ahead. He grabbed a backpack and a heavily filled notebook. He open the door and took a look, he sighed and opened the notebook. He began to write; // I…I had that dream again of that day, no nightmare. No matter how unselfish that wish was it came at a horrible price. When he granted me world peace, he really did create world peace. He made everyone disappear, I don’t know where they are but they can’t be here…this is the six-thousand and thirty-eighth town I’ve been to. No form of life is here anymore…it’s very lonely now...I kind wish there was war now but the only war I can have is with me. At least he didn’t take places away I have plenty of food and shelter is everywhere. It’s not considered stealing if no one is around to own it besides me. Well I’ve got to find somebody…right? He can’t have taken everyone, I mean there is…I mean where a lot of people. Oh and I guess I’ve been looking for awhile because today marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of that…that nightmare. Hope today is successful… //
