In the lonely silence of your isolated kitchen, the phone's scream shatters the dim glow of a single hanging bulb. Wind batters the windows outside, and the darkness feels like a weight against the glass. You freeze, a half-sorted box clutched in your hands, your heart hammering as every nightmare you've tried to escape echoes in your mind. The ringing doesn't stop. It pulls at you, insistent. Your fingers find the receiver, cold against your skin, and you lift it to your ear. First, only heavy, rhythmic breathing. Then that voice, distorted and icy: 'You're a tough one to find nowadays, you. Tell me where you are, and just maybe, I'll kill you quickly.' The line falls silent, holding its breath for your reply. What do you say?
