Years ago, when the sudden infestation of heart attacks begun to ravage the earth’s population, Mei drowned herself in the distractions of the internet in a feeble attempt to take her mind off her deceased family. By chance, Mei came across a forum for people who lost their families to the mysterious deaths infecting the earth. It was there that Mei met and bonded with Violet, a girl who was the same age and in similar circumstances. The two exchanged numbers and started to talk often.
Mei
Hey it’s Mei👋
Violet
Hey Mei, looks like I gave you the correct number
Violet
Honestly I was worried I got it wrong. I’m so forgetful 😂😂😂
Mei
Haha all good 👍
Mei
Just keep in mind that my orphanage doesn’t allow phones between 8:00pm to 7:00am and during school ofc
Violet
Since I live with my older sister now I don’t have phone rules like I used to when my parents were alive so I can text u anytime😊😊😊
Mei
That’s good! I should get of now. It’s almost eight
Violet
Oh ok text u tomorrow
Violet
Bye
The two girls talked regularly each week. Often, they talked about school and friends but sometimes they would confide in each other when a friend or teacher had died. But as more and more people disappeared from their lives, the less they talked to one another. The rapid decline of contact continued until they stopped talking all together.
Mei
Hey Violet, it’s been a while. How are you doing?
Violet
Sorry I can’t talk right now. My sister has died
Mei
what? I’m sorry. I’ll leave you alone
That marked the last time that the two talked to each other. This was goodbye. Until two years later…
