At 2:13 a.m., Noah's phone rang.
The screen displayed only one word:
Mom.
He smiled. "Funny," he muttered.
His mother had died three years earlier.
Hands shaking, he answered.
Silence.
Then a faint whisper.
"Don't open the door."
The call ended.
Before Noah could move, three slow knocks echoed through his apartment.
Knock
Knock.
Knock.
He looked through the peephole.
No one.
Relieved, he reached for the deadbolt.
His phone rang again.
Mom.
He answered.
This time she screamed.
"IT'S BEHIND YOU!"
The apartment went dark.
Noah spun around.
Standing in the corner was a figure with a pale smile and empty black eyes.
It raised one finger to its lips.
"Don't answer the next call," it whispered.
Noah's phone began to ring again.
This time...
The caller ID read:
