This is the first time I've got so close to the meteorite. And I can also see the engraves pretty clearly, but can't read them.

  I'm too focused, when Naomi's loud voice breaks in my ears.

  "Why don't you give it a try?. Maybe you are the female Thor, who knows"

  She is still recording. Well, Everyone has already taken their shot, so why not?

  Emphasising my voice, I brace myself knowing it would be impossible just like everyone else. And with a strong grip and a dramatic scream i pull it.

  And I fall on my back.

  Are!.

  Aaa!.

  What the hack?!.

  IT'S IN MY HAAANND!!!!????.

  Suddenly the air starts to get heavy. Our hair and clothes are going crazy. I stand and look up to see the dark cloud, darker than the night sky, swirl above us. Then lightning strikes on top of the rock in my hand directly. Everything happens in a matter of a few seconds. I'm shocked, scared, frozen, everything at once. In an effort not to get harmed, I put my arms up holding the rock that is being assaulted by lightning.

  Everyone around me is in the same state as me. Their mouths are wide open, eyes popping out of their face.

  Everyone's eyes are fixed on me, wide open, I say.

  Naomi is standing the closest to me. I can clearly hear her shock-filled loud grasp.

  Seeing the approaching lightning and striking it right on the rock I'm holding in my hands, I can't help but think that's it, I'm sure I'm dead. But seems like today is a package day full of surprises, nothing happens.

  But the strike doesn’t disappear. On the contrary, something unimaginable happens. Something truly unparalleled occurs before everyone's eyes.

  In a flash, numerous geometric rings of lights appear on top of each other, rising up to the sky. Shining blindingly bright. So vivid that it's impossible to call it a dream or illusion. And I stand in the exact centre of it, still holding the rock that is connected to the sky through the ongoing electric strike like a rope.

  The guards are in a panic, the uncle throws away his cigarette and tries to rush in. His one leg is upfront, the other is on the ground, as if in a slow-motion running posture.

  But a few seconds is too fast, and everyone is too late.

  Before any of us can even scream or get a hold of the situation or even have the minimal time to react,

  I'm gone.

  ---

  She is gone.

  Wish is gone!.

  I can't believe what just happened.

  As if a ghost came and took my best friend with it.

  I still can't take my eyes off the empty space where she stood a moment ago. All those geometrical rings flicked and vanished along with Wish.

  Was it a math ghost!? Is it because wish is number blind?. But this is too hard a punishment for this. I'm panicking at this point.

  Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  "Calm down, guys", Sam rests his hand on my shoulder and tries to calm the situation with a worried face.

  The fire uncle runs toward us in a rush

  "What the hell just happened" he frowns in confusion and in utter disbelief.

  In the next minute, all the guards from the camp on the edge are present in the pit.

  "Everything disappeared. As if nothing happened," Sam says with a puzzled look at them.

  "As if there was no unmovable rock sitting there at all, no storm like wind or fiction like circle tower just never happened", I mutter, looking at the empty hole where that mysterious rock was sitting. "As if time got rewound except...."

  Safi completes my sentence "the rock and wish".

  The firefighter uncle quickly brings out his cellphone from his pocket and panickingly calls someone

  "David, you have to hurry to the site"

  Our group waits in the camp according to the instructions of the uncle. And after half an hour, the area is totally crowded by the researchers, the police team and all sorts of civil teams.

  They put multiple other camps around the edge and completely block off the street 3. No civilian or reporter is allowed to enter the area.

  Some detective-looking people come into the security guard camp, where our group is gathered. A woman in her 30,s walks up to us

  "Hello, im June. Please calm down. We are just gonna ask some simple questions and then you can go home"

  She seems to be confused and doubtful about what we tell her. June exchanges looks with her coworkers standing over her shoulder all along. One of them goes out of the camp and comes back with the fire uncle.

  And then we repeat everything that happened once more.

  And then again.

  And again.

  Even after hearing the same story again and again, through different perspectives, they seem not believe it. I mean, I don't blame them. We still can't believe it after witnessing it ourselves.

  After a long silence in the room, I hesitantly ask june

  "Excuse me. Umm. Will my friend be ok?"

  June looks at me with a visible sigh, "I can't tell yet, kid. In your story, she sounds like she vanished as if a deleted picture"

  Her last words hit me like a wind. A realisation washes over my face, and looking around me, I can see it's not only me but my whole group got the safe face.

  I stand up and rush toward my bag placed on a shelf behind us. The researchers are dumbfounded by my sudden behaviour. But I come back, grabbing my phone.

  "I've got my phone", I declare, my eyes are full of hope.

  Safi takes note of the researchers' faces full of confusion. She looks back at our ignorant group of friends and disappointingly slaps a hand on her forehead before explaining

  "What she means is, she was recording with her phone for the whole time. Maybe there is some clue in it"

  Everyone seems a bit more energised now in the hope of some solid proof.

  But the phone is dead.

  It won't start even when connected with charger. Then a man comes in with a computer and starts doing something with my phone connecting it with the computer. After a while they asks me the password and i give them.

  Finally, we search the Gallery and sure enough all the reels and videos are here.

  We check the last video, and everything can be seen pretty clearly until the part where Wish unexpectedly pulls out the rock without much effort, and as a result, falls on her back. That's when I also got shocked and forgot about recording, lowering my phone and staring at her. But then, in just two seconds, the strong wind noise can be heard, and then a sudden flash. With that, the video ends, indicating that's when the phone died.

  Even with just this much proof that doesn’t even cover the madness after that, the detectives all look at us and at each other, bewildered.

  Now you know, what we meant?.

  We hear an increase in noise coming from outside. We all emerge from the camp and see Wish's parents running toward us.
