And Then There Was Nothing

And Then There Was Nothing

Oky, who hardly ever used her real name had been talking to Doky who hardly ever used her real name. If fact they had agreed to use their nick-names because sometimes things got too crazy and scary to use their names. They had silly avatars too and very often talked in code when they wanted to be sure no one would ever know what they were talking about.

Well, one day they were just texting back and forth about nothing in particular, which was the usual conversation they would have. It was on one of those days that, when the conversation was over Oky decided she really needed to save everything in the clouds.

She chose Select all. Then for a second a noise distracted her. It was someone yelling at a dog about peeing on the lamp post.

Oky laughed and touched a button realizing it was the wrong one. She hit delete

When she looked up all she saw was nothing except grid lines all around her.
