I woke up early, there was no worm

I woke up early, the sun had just begun to peek through the curtains, casting a warm glow over my room. As I stretched and yawned, I couldn't help but notice the absence of the usual sound that accompanied my early mornings - the chirping of birds and the gentle rustling of leaves. It was as if the world around me was holding its breath, waiting for something to happen.

I got out of bed and made my way to the window, pulling back the curtains to reveal a serene scene outside. The grass was still damp with dew, the flowers in the garden were just starting to bloom, and the sky was a soft shade of pink as the sun rose higher in the sky. It was a picture-perfect morning, but something felt off.

I stepped outside, the cool morning air sending a shiver down my spine. I walked around the garden, searching for any sign of life. But there was nothing - no birds singing, no squirrels scurrying about, not even a single worm wriggling in the soil. It was as if the world had fallen silent, waiting for me to make sense of it all.

I sat down on a bench, feeling a sense of unease creeping over me. Why was everything so still? Where had all the creatures gone? I closed my eyes and listened intently, hoping to hear even the faintest rustle of leaves or the distant call of a bird. But there was nothing, just an eerie silence that seemed to stretch on forever.

As the minutes ticked by, I began to feel a sense of dread creeping over me. What if something terrible had happened? What if the world as I knew it had changed overnight? I shook my head, trying to push away the irrational thoughts that were swirling in my mind. But the silence was deafening, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something was very wrong.

I stayed outside for what felt like hours, waiting for the world to come back to life. But as the sun rose higher in the sky and the morning turned to afternoon, I realized that the world had indeed changed. And as I sat there, alone in the silence, I couldn't help but wonder what the future held for me in this new, strange world.
