Disappear

Haven't you ever wished that you could just go away in a cave, disappear from absolutely everyone, and never contact anyone? Haven't you ever wondered what people would think in that case? How they would wonder where you've gone? They'd say, "Where has my friend gone?" They'd say, "where has my child gone?" They wouldn't know.

I wouldn't do it out of hate, or the fact that I want to be alone, or that I'm depressed and I just don't want to deal with people, I'd just want to do it just to see what would happen. I would do it just to see how people would react to someone completely dropping off of the radar. I wouldn't even leave my home. I'd just stay inside my house for a year. I'd tell my parents not to let anyone in. I'd tell them not to give me the phone when my friends would call.

Then I'd show up a year later. I'd act completely normal. Everyone would ask me, "What happened to you? Where have you been?" and I'd say, "Why did you ask? Did something happen to me?" and they'd say, "What? You've disappeared for an entire year!" and I'd say something to the effect of, "No I haven't, I've been here the whole time." just to mess with their heads.

There's only one person I would tell, and that's because I could never do that to her and make her worry like that, because I love her.
