Emily had always felt like a burden to her family. She had been struggling with depression for years and felt like she was just holding her loved ones back. She constantly wished that she could just disappear and stop being a burden on them.

One day, as she was lying in bed, she closed her eyes and made the wish with all of her might. When she opened her eyes, she was shocked to find that she was no longer in her bedroom. She was in a dark and unfamiliar place.

Emily tried to call out for help but her voice was barely a whisper. She tried to move but her body felt heavy and weak. She was terrified and didn't know what was happening to her.

As she struggled to move, she saw a figure emerging from the darkness. It was a woman dressed in black, with long hair and a pale face. She had a haunting look in her eyes and a sinister smile on her lips.

The woman approached Emily and spoke in a cold and menacing voice. "Welcome to the land of the forgotten. You wished to disappear and now you have. You will never be able to return to your old life and no one will remember you ever existed."
