Where

It was a cold Halloween night. The kids had most likely just finished trick or treating. Several people were staying up until the Haunting Hour. The streets were black and empty, the street lights on, some flickering, others attracting bugs. That night was different from other Halloween nights.

That Haunting Hour, the entire world went black. Every mind, soul, human, animal, fell asleep instantly. It stayed like that for exactly one minute. When everyone woke up, there was nothing. They couldn’t see anything, hear anything, feel anything, smell anything, or taste anything except for their own body. Strange enough, they could walk without floating around, which meant they weren’t in space. There was no grass, water, sand, or anything beneath their feet, so they weren’t on Earth. Not Earth, not space, but where? They weren’t all dead, or were they? But heaven wasn’t black, and hell couldn’t be either.

Where was everyone. Nobody else could be seen by the human beings. After exactly one minute of being in that state, everyone fell asleep once more. That lasted a minute before everyone was back awake, on planet Earth. It was like nothing had happened, everyone was just gone for four minutes.

On Halloween.

At the Haunting Hour.

The entire world thought for it to have just been a dream. But a dream that everyone had? On the same night? At the same time? No. That just couldn’t be possible. It wasn’t possible.

But maybe, it wasn’t a dream that everyone had.

A ten year old Matthew watched as everyone else in his neighborhood fell back to their houses. After watching the strange scene, he returned to his bed.

What had just happened?
