What if the world finally gave you what you always wanted—complete silence?

John Michaels, a quiet and overlooked waiter with a passion for books, makes a wish in the solitude of a walk-in cooler: I wish everyone would just disappear. When he steps outside, the world has answered. Streets are empty. Cities are silent. Humanity is gone.

At first, it's paradise. No noise. No responsibilities. Just time to read, think, and finally write the novel he always dreamed of. But as the days stretch into weeks and months, the peace he once craved begins to rot. Food spoils. Power fails. The silence grows heavy—and then unbearable.

Driven to the edge of madness, John clings to his manuscript like a lifeline. But when he finishes his masterpiece, a devastating truth sets in: there's no one left to read it.

Now he must face the ultimate question—was solitude what he truly wanted, or has the cost of silence been too high?
