eyes. In the fridge sat the remains of a welcome back cake, and he dipped a finger in the icing before grabbing a drink and shutting the door. As he licked off his finger, a bright flash came from the room behind him, followed by a glass breaking, and sudden silence. He popped the beer can open and started back, saying, “Did a light burn out or…something.” He stopped in the doorway, staring.

Matt’s laptop still lay open and unlocked, when the techie was paranoid about not signing out if he stepped away. Anna’s wineglass had broken on the floor, red wine spilling across it. Ryan’s bag of Chex-mix had fallen over on the couch. And the office chair Eric had been sitting in was slowly spinning, empty.

They were gone.
