Feet hit the sidewalk.

Car horns honked and people shouted at one another.

People conversed with each other as they walked down the street and ate at the many cafés around.

He could hear all of these things.

Dogs barked.

People laughed.

Then, a loud ringing sounded around him.

Nothing could be heard.

Snap!

There goes his hearing.

Nothing around him was audible. Not even the loudest of screams. Not even the quietest of whispers.

Nothing.

Everything around him faded away.

Very slowly, each particle of the universe vanished right before his very eyes.

Each person. Each building. Each tree. Each animal.

Nothing was there, not even the smallest speck of dust.

White walls surrounded him.

Various shapes, some common and some ridiculous appeared around him.

They clung to the walls, making a screeching noise unknown to any human being that once existed.

It was only him.

The room began to become smaller and smaller, cramping the man inside of the small room that was barely able to hold even a child.

He closed his eyes, wishing to wake up from what he assumed is a nightmare, but nothing happens.

He ceases to exist.

No one remembers him.

No one ever knew him.

He was a John Doe, never to exist ever again.
