It was the hottest topic to talk about in the world at the moment. It littered every magazine in the grocery stores, and the tabloids devoured it and turned it into the paranormal.
All of the nations were panicking. Siblings clung to each other, scared that when they awoke the next day the other would be gone. Everyone tried to continue laughing along with each other, but each held a hint of restlessness.
The first one was Greece. Seeing as how tired he was on a normal basis, Greece would be easy to capture. No one had seen him for a couple of meetings, so Japan said he'd take a trip to his house to check on him. When he returned, he remained utterly speechless for several minutes, and muttered quietly, "He wasn't there."
Calls were made, trips were arranged, and people did what they could to keep the press from finding out. But in a week or so, the truth leaked out that the nation of Greece was missing.
Ukraine was next. She disappeared a couple days later. Russia was absolutely devastated, and even Belarus was at a loss for words. The citizens of Ukraine and Greece were scared to death—there were still large quantities of citizens, so obviously the countries remained alive. But if they died without having another country inherit them, it would be fatal.
Nations disappeared slowly one by one. America. Turkey. The Italy twins. South Korea. Canada. Taiwan. China.
Up north, nothing important really seemed to be going on. The Nordics could have cared if a couple of nations disappeared here and there—it just meant one less mouth not to listen to.
That is, until they got Iceland.

Weeell, how do you like my new multi-chapter story so far? It's short, but who cares - this be a prologe, yo.
More will be explained. I hope ya like it.
I got the idea from a dream - and it's a scene that takes place WAAAAY in the future of this story. Can't wait for it.
I think the thing that scares me the most about this story is that when writing it, I have the same feeling in my gut I had when reading Gutters.
Reviews are appreciated! Thank you for reading.
