ago<br>when I was walking into Derby Town.<br>Before my eyes a man just disappeared<br>in an instant, and without a sound.</a></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><a href="http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=473155" style="color:#000;text-decoration:none">One minute he was there, the next he wasn’t.<br>In disbelief I stopped and looked around, <br>to see if anyone else had seen what I had seen, <br>but no one had, so I continued to town.</a></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><a href="http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=473155" style="color:#000;text-decoration:none">As I walked, I thought about what I saw<br>and whether I could be wrong, <br>but I was sure the man did disappear, <br>as he walked innocently along.</a></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><a href="http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=473155" style="color:#000;text-decoration:none">Throughout the day and night this troubled me, <br>and I began to question my sanity.<br>I concluded that my mind was playing tricks, <br>no one can vanish so inexplicably.</a></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><a href="http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=473155" style="color:#000;text-decoration:none">However, throughout the following days<br> I closely observed the papers and TV.<br>With no reports of random disappearances, <br>it confirmed my mind was fooling me.</a></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><a href="http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=473155" style="color:#000;text-decoration:none">I allowed the incident to leave my thoughts<br>and continued with my humdrum days.<br>That was until during my usual walk to town, <br> when I saw another person vanish away.</a></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><a href="http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=473155" style="color:#000;text-decoration:none">This really shocked and unsettled me, <br> so I asked the people near by<br>if they had seen someone just disappear, <br>but it was something they all denied.</a></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><a href="http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=473155" style="color:#000;text-decoration:none">It was time to see my local doctor<br>and I told him what I thought I saw.<br>He said I was suffering with stress<br>and of that he was sure.</a></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><a href="http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=473155" style="color:#000;text-decoration:none">Antidepressants were prescribed, <br>and advise for me to rest.<br>Not to think too deeply about what I see, <br>and leave disappearances to those who know best.</a></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><a href="http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=473155" style="color:#000;text-decoration:none">A few days later, an article in the paper stated<br>disappearances were on the rise.<br>However, the police weren’t duly concerned<br>the homeless were more than realised.</a></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><a href="http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=473155" style="color:#000;text-decoration:none">The next time I walked into Derby, <br>I saw three people disappear.<br>One was a woman pushing a pushchair, <br>which left her child alone, but near.</a></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><a href="http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=473155" style="color:#000;text-decoration:none">Another woman stood by the pushchair<br>and asked where the mother had gone.<br>I didn’t want to admit to anything, <br>so I shook my head and moved on.</a></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><a href="http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=473155" style="color:#000;text-decoration:none">I now knew it wasn’t my imagination, <br>but if I spoke out, people would think me insane.<br>Doing nothing about what I knew was hurting<br>and I felt an unbearable shame.</a></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><a href="http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=473155" style="color:#000;text-decoration:none">I decided to write letters to the papers, <br>warning the public about the vanishings, <br>and why the government was hiding the facts<br>to stop the anarchy this would bring.</a></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><a href="http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=473155" style="color:#000;text-decoration:none">I was arrested by a government network<br>who asked what proof I could provide.<br>I admitted my eyes were my only witness<br>and they accused me of unpatriotic lies.</a></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><a href="http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=473155" style="color:#000;text-decoration:none">I was placed in a room with a professor<br>who reacted as though I knew the truth.<br>He admitted he knew about the vanishings, <br>but how they happened he had no clue.</a></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><a href="http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=473155" style="color:#000;text-decoration:none">He was puzzled, but discarded abductions<br>because there was no sightings or sound.<br>Every hour of everyday in Derbyshire streets<br>vanishings were now common and abound.</a></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><a href="http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=473155" style="color:#000;text-decoration:none">The government is extremely concerned<br>whether the vanishings will ever cease. <br>They’re at a loss to know just what to do<br>to stop the population’s ever decrease.</a></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><a href="http://poems.citatepedia.com/">poem</a> by <strong><a rel="author"
