Rebecca was walking hastily on the street near her house. She was repeatedly looking at the watch on her wrist.
"I hope everything is alright," she muttered with an anxious look on her face.
"Why is his phone switched off? Sometimes it says unreachable…"
Rebecca got off her night shift later than usual, and it was around 8 AM in the morning. The food stalls and stores were opening at that time, so Rebecca thought she should buy something for breakfast for Rudy as they have been eating cereals with milk for the past week; sometimes, eggs too.
So Rebecca decided to call Rudy to not go to school and wait for her to come home. But much to her surprise, his phone was unreachable. When she tried again, it was switched off.
Sure, it wasn't a strange thing to happen, since they lived in a town where there were regular power outages and problems with cell networks. But Rebecca couldn't shake the feeling of uneasiness.
