The Vanished

Setting

Tuesday 8th September 2020.

White Bridge, Connecticut, USA.

71 degree F.

First day back at School.

Where did they go?

PLOT

A crazy and somewhat unsettling fog had overcome to small town of White Bridge
on Monday night. As children and parents alike got ready for school to restart
the following morning, a general wish that schools wouldn't open within the children, after all for most people they couldn't even see their cars in the driveway due to the fog.

Surprisingly Tuesday was a wonderfully clear day, no sign of the mysterious fog that
had trapped the town the night before. A beautifully clear and sunny day yet the
town seems just as empty as it had been during the fog. No sign of life as the Senior
class made their way to school.

ABOUT

A mysterious fog overtook the town the night before school starts.
Everyone had a deep and peaceful sleep that night. One where you wake feeling
your whole body is rested. But something is so very wrong, why is it all so quiet?
and where has everybody gone?

Riley woke that morning to her alarm and groaned as she turned over to turn off the obnoxiously loud ringing. Lying back down for a moment, Riley stretched as she contemplated just turning around and going back to sleep. It was heartbreaking that summer had now ended and school was beginning but Riley reminded herself that this was the last time she would be going back to school after summer. It was her final year and man she could not be happier about that.

She had spent most of the summer working in her brothers tattoo shop which had ultimately led to a lot of arguments between the siblings as her brother insisted Riley finish school while Riley believed she should drop out and continue working there. After all, she didn't need to finish school to be a tattoo artist, all she needed was an internship and practice. Both of which she could get by working with her brother.

The house was quiet but this wasn't unusual on a school morning, especially considering Oli didn't usually open the tattoo parlor until around 11. Grumbling under her breath, Riley eventually got out of bed and begrudgingly got ready for school.

After a quick shower, Riley dried her hair allowing it to fall naturally straight, she applied a minimal amount of makeup before throwing on one of the first outfits she saw in her closet. Riley never did put too much effort into her appearance in the mornings, it was too early and the fact that she even applied makeup was surprising to her but she guessed the good sleep last night had given her some more energy than she normally would have. Riley pulled on her black doc martins before grabbing her bag and car keys and leaving the house.

The drive to school was eerily quiet and Riley actually had to check her phone multiple times to make sure she hadn't somehow messed up the day or time. First day back at school was normally filled with the worst traffic along with shouting and excited children making their way to school. To see absolutely no one out was making her uneasy and she couldn't figure out what was happening.

Am i early? am i late? Is it the weekend? Was i drugged? was the rest of the world abducted by aliens as i slept.

The last thought made Riley smirk as she pulled into the school car park and once again was shocked to see no life around the school. Checking her phone one last time Riley confirmed to herself that she was only 5 minutes early for school and so the school should be full of people talking about their summer holidays and hopes for the following year yet it was almost like a ghost town and she couldn't wrap her head around it.

Riley grabbed her bag and stepped out of her car confusion clear on her features as she tried to make sense of the morning so far, it was like she was in a weird dream. She leaned against the hood of her car as she lit a cigarette and placed it between her lips. Eyes scanning the school grounds for someone, anyone to appear.

Maybe they're all inside?

Unable to shake the unsettling feeling, Riley took out her phone to text Leon and Luca deciding to wait until at least one of her friends arrived before going into the school. Pulling herself up, Riley sat on the bonnet of her car, kicking her feet lightly as she smoked her cigarette.

Please god can someone hurry up.

Janetta Whinery

Jan woke up with a start, her body drenched in a cold sweat. Cursing under her breath, she wiped her forehead with the back of her hand. She thought she was past these dumb nightmares. It had been months since she had one.

Reaching for her phone, she squinted as the harsh light invaded her sight. Five minutes until her alarm. Of course.

Throwing back her covers, she groggily rubbed her eyes and sat up. First day of senior year.

Despite the nightmare, she felt surprisingly well rested. She stretched for a moment, then crossed the room to wake her sister. Reaching for the pile of blankets and pillows that Lynsey burrowed herself in every night, she was shocked to find an empty bed.

There was no way that her sister was already awake and getting ready for school. Lynsey was notorious for sleeping in. Jan furrowed her eyebrows, turning to the bathroom door off their room.

The light was off. Jan slowly entered, flicking the switch and illuminating the bathroom. It was untouched; no dirty clothes or towels on the floor, no water droplets on the shower tiles, no long blonde hairs stuck to the sink. No evidence that Jan's younger sister had been present. Maybe she was eating breakfast..?

She exited the bathroom, walked back through her bedroom, and into the hallway. The entire house was dark, and Jan's confusion started to morph into a feeling of uneasiness.

School mornings were always bustling at the Whinery house. It was hard for them not to be, with seven people living there. She made her way through the house, knocking on everyone's door and entering their bedrooms.

No Aiden, no Ferne, no Randy, no Isbel or Lyndi.

Was this some sort of messed up prank? Was she still dreaming?

She ran downstairs, her heart pounding as she threw open the front door, only to be met with the same eerie emptiness that plagued her house.

What the fuck?

  Emily woke to her alarm ringing and reached over, eyes still closed to turn it off. Opening one eye the smallest amount Emily checked the time on her phone before lying back on her bed as she contemplated setting her alarm for 10 minutes later and allowing herself to lie there in blissful peace before getting up. Realising if she didn't get up now, she wouldn't have time for coffee was the only reason Emily got out of bed. She put on her dressing gown and slippers before making her way downstairs, yawning and stretching as she descended the stairs and walked into the kitchen.
  
  The house was unusually quiet as Emily placed a cup in the coffee machine and turned it on. She leaned against the counter as she listened out but heard no sign of movement in the house.
  
  Odd, maybe they're asleep or had to go in early?
  
  Shrugging to herself, Emily took her coffee and made her way back upstairs to her room to get ready. She looked at her bed and fought the urge to get back into it and instead sat on the small chair beside her vanity to drink her coffee as she scrolled on her phone. Once the coffee was finished and Emily felt a bit more human, she made her way into the bathroom to do her morning face care routine.
  
  Skin care done, makeup applied and hair brushed but left natural, all that was left was clothes and Emily was thankful in this moment that she had chosen her outfit last night, otherwise it probably would have been a tracksuit on her first day back. She did a small twirl as she took in the skirt, jumper and knee high boots and smiled at herself. She had decided over the summer to try and put a bit more effort into her appearance, having spent most of the previous year wearing leggings, an oversized jumper and her hair in a messy bun on top of her head making her look like Miss Trunchbull's niece.
  
  Grabbing her bag from beside her door, Emily put in her headphones and turned her spotify on shuffle before leaving the house and locking the door behind her. She raised an eyebrow as she spotted her parents cars still in the driveway and looked back towards the house for a moment before shrugging her shoulders and continuing on her walk to school.
  
  The walk to school was quiet, unusually quiet but Emily didn't notice, her mind miles away as she walked allowing herself to get lost in thoughts of the summer break and how this was her final year in school. She couldn't believe she was finally here and didn't know if she elated or terrified at the prospect of finishing up and moving into the real world. She wasn't ready but also couldn't wait.

Antonio Bonaccorsi

Tony's mornings were always sort of hectic. Mainly because he woke up at the last possible minute. After hitting his snooze button a total of six times, he was finally jarred completely awake by the feeling of his dog's tongue licking a long stripe across his face. Tony slowly peeled his eyes open, giving Leo a scratch behind his ear.

He reached for his phone, and in his attempt, completely rolled off the bed. He landed on his bedroom floor with a thump and a groan.

Great start to the school year.

The next twenty minutes were kind of a blur. He grabbed a t-shirt off the floor and, once it passed the sniff test, threw it on along with a pair of jeans. He brushed his teeth, ran his hand through his hair a few times, and nearly fell down the stairs as he hopped around in an effort to slide his sneakers on without untying them.

Finally, once he was ready and had filled up Leo's food and water bowls, he grabbed his keys and backpack and headed outside. He assumed his father was already down at the station, as he usually was at this point of the day.

He hopped into his mom's Jeep, giving the dashboard a adoring pat. After turning the key once... twice... she finally started up on the third twist and sputtered to life. And with that, Tony pulled out of his driveway with a screech and was off.
