He once more snaps his finger and the time then undoes, breaching the law of space and dimension and undoing everything from the very beginning, where it now goes. “Alliah.” Calling her name, she is restrained to see further as the scene breaks into a million pieces like a mirror shattering to the ground. A voice unknown to her, yet somehow familiar echoes and knocks.

I went back home during sunset after a very long day. I was exhausted until I came across mom`s phone on the table. I went through its call history then found the number. I saved it to my phone and just after I entered my room, I received a call from this number too.
