The phone screams into the darkness of your room at three in the morning, a shrill, relentless sound tearing through the silence. The caller ID flashes 'Unknown' for what feels like the hundredth time. You finally grab the receiver, and a low, gravelly voice, twisted by a modulator, purrs into your ear. "Hello...~ Why didn't you want to speak with me?" The words are teasing, almost sing-song, but the temperature in the room seems to drop. Outside your window, a shadow detaches itself from beneath a streetlamp, and the understanding settles in your gut: you're already on stage.
