A man and woman were standing with the ancient coliseum of Rome behind them. The man seemingly had something important to say to the woman he was with. While she was waiting with bated breath for what he was going to ask her. So far this trip was like a dream come true as she was wondering what he was going to do next. She had an idea about what it was going to be from what she had told him about herself and was thinking was that it.
Though just as he was going to say it that when they were both suddenly turned to stone in that one instant. The question that she had been waiting for was he asked her "will you m…." then nothing. The woman was left desperate to know what he was going to say as 'will you m….' could mean anything as sure the common idea would be to assume he means marry but there were no talks of such thing between them yet. She wanted to bring it up but did not know how. Thus thought of possibly getting married was running through her mind at the moment. All sort of scenarios were playing themselves our as she becomes lost in these thoughts that go on for awhile
While the man was wondering if she knew what he meant. He was worrying so much about how she took the start of what he was trying to say before he was all of the sudden cut off from her and the world entirely. Sure he had heard about times where the world around you just faded away but he did not think that would include the person he was with as well. He could only hope as countless words started with m and he was not aware if she knew. Thus similar yet different questions consumed both them.
Eventually, the ancient coliseum of Rome now had new things scattered around adding to the mystic of it all. That being countless statues in the shapes of humans, which amongst them were the man and woman still in the same place though neither one of them wondered what the other was thinking anymore. In fact, they were thinking anything at all as just like their clothes which had faded away due to the passage of time their mind had done the same.

A girl was heading towards school when she looked up into the sky like others around to see a blinding light. There was a collective gasp and then there was nothing as everything around turned black just then. She just looking up with a look of utter shock and her open mouth to shout something that was muted before it could ever leave her lips. The bag she was carrying was just hanging in front of her both hands holding on to it. Those around her were also in a similar state of shock noticing the light was something not natural yet all they would do was stand.
The girl would call out for help. She would call for everyone to help her eventually getting to her mom and dad. Though once it was sinking in that there was no help coming for her and that when she became to wonder something.
'So this is death' she thought.
Once she had thought that then she joined the countless others that had become nothing more than fully inanimate statue without a single thing within their stony body beyond just solid stone. As time passed this area was washed away by a flood and fate of that petrified girl beyond that point was unknown. After all, there were over seven billion statues so there would be countless ones that would become uncounted for.
