They Granted Her 100 Wishes And Forgot I Was Dying Too Chapter 09

My brother fell silent. He didn’t know what to do either.

The company’s losses kept growing. Its accounts were nearly empty. Evan struggled to keep it afloat on two

or three hours of sleep a night.

Then one strange disaster followed another.

Tiles fell in sheets from the company’s outer wall. A crack opened out of nowhere in the parking lot.

An office building across the street began to lean. Fear spread through the city, and the news reported abnormal ground movement elsewhere, too.

Within days, she lost her grip on reality.

“Ha… it’s collapsing… it’s all collapsing…”

Molly pressed her face to the gap in the metal door. “Don’t you see it? This world is breaking apart.”

“Maya left, and the thing holding this world together went with her! We’re all going to die. We’ll all follow her to the grave!”

“Doesn’t this seem strange to you?”

“Everything started falling apart right after Maya left.”

I had never belonged to that world. Once I left, perhaps it wasn’t so strange that the world bound to me was

coming apart, too.

again?”

The others’ expressions shifted.

The collapse accelerated.

Cracks spread across the ground. Water and electricity failed intermittently, then stopped altogether. /
