<strong>Jeong Soo-Jin</strong><br/><strong>Location</strong>: In front of the high school<br/><strong>Tag</strong>: Robert, Neela, Maggie<br/><hr/><br/>"I didn't have any dream!" Jin replied curtly to Robert, perhaps too curtly - for some reason her reaction had been to immediately deny everything, as if that might somehow make this unexplainable situation less real.<em>It can't be real...</em><br/><br/>Her phone chirped as she received a text and she instantly pulled it out to see what it was, using it as an excuse to further dodge Robert's question. She reread the short message from Neela at least six or seven times to make sure that she wasn't going insane or delusional. It couldn't be real, a bunch of different people couldn't just have the exact same dream at the exact same time!<br/><br/>Even as thoughts of denial continued swirling through Jin's mind, she felt the compulsion to look up and saw what seemed exactly like her parents' silhouettes in a window of the school. She'd recognized them immediately by their outlines and subtle mannerisms, even their postures.<br/><br/><em>They're right here...</em>she thought, relieved at first that the whole thing about them possibly disappearing like the other kids' families was nonsense, but then the realization that this didn't make any sense started to sink in. With it also came an awful feeling of loss, like an empty void forming inside of her chest and expanding outwards until it had swallowed up her heart and her lungs. She couldn't breathe, and it felt as if her blood had stopped pumping through her veins and had gone cold.<br/><br/>By the time that Maggie arrived, shouting about something or other, Jin hardly even hear the girl as she stood there paralyzed, fixated by the sight of her parents in the window.
