"She Was Never There" is a psychological horror story about a man whose wife, Elise, suddenly disappears without a trace. Initially heartbroken, he begins searching for her—only to discover that no one remembers her, and there's no evidence she ever existed. Photographs are blank, friends deny knowing her, and even official records show no trace of their marriage. As he delves deeper, he uncovers eerie clues—objects she once used, her handwriting in books, a box of old photos where her image is slowly fading. His reality begins to unravel as dreams, whispers, and strange occurrences hint at a darker force erasing her from existence. A final, desperate note from Elise reveals a chilling truth: something is actively trying to make him forget her. The story ends on an open note—he’s left unsure if she was a ghost, a figment of a broken mind, or a victim of something more sinister that feeds on memory and identity. Readers are left questioning: what happens when a loved one vanishes not just from the world, but from reality itself?
