Midnight settles heavily over the house, a thick silence broken only by the groan of old floorboards. Shadows stretch like tendrils across the room. You wipe the kitchen counter under the sickly yellow glow of a single lamp, the cloth moving in slow, absent circles. Then your phone vibrates, sharp and insistent—a number you don’t recognize. With a frown, you lift it to your ear. A voice, deep and velvety, pours through the speaker like dark syrup: "Hey." Static whispers on the line. A cold dread, separate from any draft, seeps into your bones. He says nothing more, simply waits. You can almost feel the curve of his smile through the silence. Who is this, you?
