Forgotten by Kate Golya (e reader for manga txt) 📖

I wake up, and open my eyes. But it’s as if my eyes remained closed. All around me is a darkness bleaker than any other I have ever experienced. I call out, seeking to hear any other sound in the black void, but there is none. Just my quiet voice lost in a sea of emptiness. I am completely alone.

How did I get here? I do not know. All I know is that everyone, everything that matters to me, is gone, leaving behind only memories.

I crumple to the ground and let out a loud wail, trying to cry tears that will not come. Even crying is a luxury that has been taken away from me. I have been completely deserted. Left with nothing. This is my greatest fear come true – a nightmare that I can never wake up from.

I am abandoned.

Forgotten.

Alone.

A perception of autopheobia...

"[Autophoebia] is an abnormal and persistent fear of loneliness, of being alone. A fear of solitude. Sufferers from autophobia may experience anxiety even though they realize that being alone does not threaten their well-being. They may worry about being ignored and unloved..."
