A Ghost that Disappears People

Once on Earth in 2022, a horrendous ghost was following me slowly and eerily soundlessly.

Yesterday, it was on the news that 10,000 people disappeared, so I was scared. I ran home and locked the door and then called 911.

“There’s a ghost outside!” I said.

When the police came, the clear, black-outline ghost made them disappear instantly. Nothing could hurt the terrifying ghost and the police cars all broke down.

The dark ghost tried to go into the window, but it couldn’t so it went down the chimney and I locked the door to my room. Then, more police arrived. My flimsy lock broke and I instantly disappeared too. All around me, the world disappeared.
