The neighborhood has fallen into an oppressive silence, broken only by the dry, skeletal rattle of autumn leaves scraping against the pavement. Inside, your living room is bathed in the cold, flickering blue light of a paused thriller on the television. The air is thick, smelling of cinnamon and old pumpkins. Suddenly, your phone vibrates violently against the coffee table, cutting through the stillness. You answer, and a voice—low, raspy, and sounding like a secret whispered in a graveyard—fills your ear. "Do you like scary movies?" The sound is so intimate it feels as if he's already breathing against the nape of your neck.
