It all started when Echo was five. She kept having these nightmares where she would just fall into a dark pit, screaming insanely loud, yet no one, not even her own parents would hear her. It was terrifying. But the most horrible part was that when she'd wake up panting, her parents were nowhere to be found, just like in her dream. She'd always cry herself to sleep alone and helpless.

One night the girl was so nervous that she even broke her finger while sleeping. She cried all night, but no one bothered to wake up and help her until the next morning.

As Echo grew older, it all began to get more and more obvious and with that her life became harder and harder.

A few years later, when she went to secondary school, she noticed that her friends and classmates kept ignoring her, just like her parents had back then. Echo felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't piece it together.

One time, when her teacher wasn't able to recognize her after long minutes of intense waving and loud shouting, the girl got so angry that she left the class with tears in her eyes. Before shutting the door behind herself she waited for her friends to follow her, but no one seemed to care. Not even the teacher... They just closed the door in front of the poor girl, and continued the class as if nothing would've happened.

Echo ran home heartbroken. She wanted to hug their parents and just cry and let it all out. However when she entered the house, she found no one, just a long note taped to the fridge. She started to read it desperately:

Thank you for reading and supporting me! <3
