Missing: A Quiet Horror Story

by S.A. Ohmes, Shiloh Ohmes

I am missing for three months and one hour. I'm in an abandoned bus station and I don't know how I got here. There is a bulletin board, though. My missing poster is tacked on front and center, as crisp as those new $100 bills. What happened to me?

What happens when someone goes missing? In this short story, a child wakes up in an abandoned bus station with no explanation, no memory of what happened, and no way out. Three months have gone by between heartbeats and the only clue is a missing poster with their face on it.

What happens to the missing if no one finds them? If people forget?

What if you went missing?

This is a psychologically disturbing very short horror story with many layers. One which stays with you and makes you think for a while after you have finished it. It focuses on the emotions of the child and her idea of what has happened to her once she realises she has been missing. I rather liked it but can say no more without exposing spoilers!
