What happened on March 13th?

On the day of March 13th, nothing seemed abnormal. The sun was up in the sky, birds were chirping and
everything was, at first glance, like a regular day. For everyone, it went on just like a good old Tuesday.

Well for everyone but me. I was a 20-something year old young woman that, at the time, lived in one of
Manchester’s suburbs, Bedford. At 7 o’clock, just like in every other day, I woke up, fed my dogs and
went for a run. My route, again, the same one I take every day, was surprisingly completely empty. Not
even dogs, cats or birds could be seen.

I didn’t let this phase me. “Maybe I was just not paying attention to my surroundings,” I thought.
Reaching my home, I quickly changed and left, in order to reach my job’s building, located in
Manchester’s very busy financial district.

By 8:30 on the dot, I reached my work place. No one was there either. I looked all over my building, in
the middle of Manchester, but still, no one was there. I was all alone in the building.

I went back to my car, and called my friend and boss, Miss Carlie Blue. When miss Blue didn’t pick up
either, I tried calling everyone else in my phone. No one was picking up. I snapped photos of the streets;
in case I was maybe having illusions. Still, no one was there.

Suddenly I got extremely worried, and rushed back to my house. “Xena and Ryan are still here, thank
God!” I exclaimed seeing my two dogs happy and wigging their tails.

I locked the door twice and forced myself to go to sleep, still in my work clothes.

“I must fall asleep,” I chanted, and sure enough, I closed my eyes, and sleep came to me very fast.

When I woke up, it was again 7 o’clock in the morning. “I must have dreamed!” I spoke, before looking
down and seeing my suit still on me!

I quickly grabbed my phone and saw the calls to everyone I knew, and the pictures of the empty streets I
took.

I called miss Blue again, and asked if I had any missed calls from her. Miss Blue answered no.

I left this incident at the back of my head, and continued on with my life, even in this day.

I still consider this moment a dream, but I can’t help being extremely careful and looking around me, to
make sure I am not alone.
