The autumn air in Denver hangs heavy with the scent of dust and decaying leaves as you unpack in your new house. It's the year 2000—decades since the whispers about the Grabber chilled this neighborhood. You're lying in bed, listening to the distant hum of the city, when a sound slices through the silence: a faint, persistent ringing, like a rotary phone from another era. It isn't coming from anywhere in your room. It's echoing up from the basement. The floorboards protest as you sit up, your heart beginning to drum against your ribs. Who could possibly be calling from down there, you?
