Appears, disappears

Each day, around the world, parents awake to silence instead of their beloved child playing on the bed. The child will have disappeared after a big fight as a result of which the parents say to their children that they regret having had a child at all. For all of these disappearances, the World Police are on the case.

One man stood out from the rest, he was called Owen Pharell and was a police officer from London, Watford. Basically he was a lonely man jaded, shy, and divorced from his wife. He had the custody of his only son. When with his son, Owen was a different man, he was smiling, and joyful. His son was his only reason for living.

As each day went by, Owen worked as usual. On December 22, it was snowing outside, the police station was transformed into anthill, the agents were in turmoil. As he walked in, Owen saw his ex-wife Jeanne in tears talking to officers, Owen feared the worst and he was right, his son had disappeared, Jeanne explains that day before they had had a dispute with Edward and when she awoke he had disappeared and his game console was left on her bed. Until that point Owen would not be involved in every disappearance of a child, but now it was a personal matter.

From that moment Owen tried to find his son Eduard, it was his only reason to continue to live. The idea that he ran away is only potentially conceivable, and Eduard is therefore part of 192 mysteriously kidnapped children worldwide.

A team of London police are fully initiated in the research of the abductor. A night of reflection sufficed for Owen to come to the conclusion that the kidnappers are more like supernatural forces if they are to be able to kidnap a child every night, but the mystery is how can the captors know that parents have argued with their child? Why are they taking the children? What do they make with them? Are they alive or dead? What they want you to give them? Owen investigated; he would not leave any stone unturned.

That night, as Owen tracked on the internet, the paranormal phenomenon idea disappears. Owen was not in the mood because in addition to the disappearance of his son on December 22, it was a month today that his first son Thomas mysteriously disappeared.

Overnight Owen decided to go in the room of his son Eduard at his ex-wife's house. Despite the police having already been there, he decided to carry out his own little investigation. After 5 minutes in the room, he recognized an object that had nothing to do with this room, a rugby ball that belonged to another son- Thomas. What seemed strange is that both his sons had nothing in common, and if there was one thing that Eduard hated it was the Rugby .When Owen sat down on the Eduard’s bed, he had a ghostly vision. His son Thomas, standing next to his brother Eduard. The room was white and the atmosphere was strange, but it was oddly relaxing for Owen. Owen wondered if it was a dream or reality and observing the room he got his response. He could not believe his eyes, how was it possible?

Owen left the phone out of his pocket, as he opened his eyes he was down on the ground with his two sons running into his arms and smiling. Owen asked the question if it was a dream or reality, but ultimately he did not want to know, he just wished to enjoy the moment, with his two children. And finally, dream or reality, nobody will ever know.
