If...

As she scrolled through the social media site, more and more messages popped up from different people.
'RIP...'
'We'll miss you...'
'Never forgotten...'
'Always in our hearts..'
Jess sighed, another person gone. Why was this happening? Why did it keep happening? Truth be told , she didn't know. Nobody did, and it wasn't like the person was there to ask. It was left the latest in a series of unsolved mysteries, all of the same sort.

This person, Tim, she'd gone to school with him, must have. The people she remembered from school were all posting about their memories of him from school. But she didn't remember him. Not really, though the whole situation made her wonder...

Would she get those messages if she went away? Not that she wanted to test the theory, only that curiosity had taken over. She'd never been popular at school. Sort of the opposite, in fact and so she couldn't help but wonder... Would people be  celebrating, glad that she wasn't around anymore or would they be mourning, saying how much she'd be missed, saying how she'd been taken too soon and wouldn't ever be forgotten? Which would it be?

Taking a breath, Jess blinked. She knew she couldn't let herself think like that. She was loved, she was cared about, and that day... It was a long way away now, so far in the future. There wasn't any need to worry herself with what the future would bring. So, before the evil, nagging thoughts could return to haunt h, she pressed the big red 'x' in the corner of the screen, making the window with all those messages disappear.
