The Non-Existent
This story is about a young woman, she was in her car, driving home after a terrible day in law school. As she was driving, she started feeling that someone was watching her.Suddenly the lights went out. She started to panic. It was past midnight and she didn’t have signal.She was all alone, driving by herself in the dark cold night.After that, a shadow appeared and the girl started to feel dizzy, she had lost her senses.
The next thing that she remembered is that she was outside her house trapped in her crashed car with a terrible headache and a bunch of wounds.After she had managed to get out of the car, she ran inside, started to cry and fell asleep until the following morning.
She woke up from a siren, two cops dragged her outside and took her to the police station. They began interrogating her, asking how she found herself in this man’s house. The young woman got really confused and told them that she lived in there, although the policemen didn’t believe her. They asked for her ID and checked it but when they tried to identify her in their computers they didn’t find her in the records! That meant she didn’t exist! She stormed out of the police station with a face full of confusion and panic. A man followed her and asked her: “Are you non-existent as well? If yes, this means I am not the only one and we need to find a solution for this mess.”
They never found out what had happened and no one ever believed them.
