This is my first fanfic as I love reading them I figured I would give it a shot and let others enjoy my work, or hate it... totally up to the readers. feel free to comment and leave me some advice as I am new to this.

My name is Gabriel L. Novak, the year is 2032 and I'm 20 years old, I finished high school 2 years ago and I'm in my second year of College working towards my Bachelors in Criminal Justice and life is the same as it's been all my life.

3 months ago disappearances started, nobody noticed as it was a small amount under 100 however the numbers grew rapidly and by the 3rd month the numbers had reached close to a thousand.

Families of the missing appeared on the news saying their children, friends, lovers, parents wouldn't just abandon their lives for no reason.

It took a full month of constant disappearances before the governments started taking notice sharing there information with other countries, only to learn disappearances were occurring in other countries as well, by the time 2 months had passed more than 600 people had vanished into thin air. Many of these cases couldn't be proven because if a person had disappeared, abandoned his current life and wandered around aimlessly, or if they were kidnapped, no one would be able to know if they disappeared because they wanted to or if they were taken.

People disappeared from countries without a trace and even after trying to track the missing we were unable to discover how and why people were disappearing.

There was a person who disappeared on camera and all that was shown on the news was a girl being consumed by a distortion, many thought the footage was faked and it was all a hoax however many had no choice but to believe it as it was the first case where they witnessed someone actually disappear with some proof.

After 3 months if someone disappeared we would just assume they were taken by the distortion as close to 950 people had disappeared.

A distortion was all there was on camera however standing here now I know that a ghost or some blur in space didn't take the people who disappeared, what I see is a dark black liquid start seeping out from the ground and after about 4 seconds it had enveloped me entirely and my vision went black.

I am telling this story as I have no idea where I am as I wake up after feeling as if I had been hit by a truck my head is killing me, and my vision fails me as all I can see is black and I fear it is pretty obvious I am one of those who has just "Disappeared."
