Unwelcome visitor

As Cindy stepped into Annabelle's office, a chill ran down her spine. The air felt heavy with silence, and an unsettling feeling crept over her as she surveyed the space. Papers neatly stacked on the desk, the faint hum of the computer monitor, and the soft glow of the desk lamp—all seemed untouched, frozen in time.

She hesitated, her heart pounding in her chest, before finally stepping further into the room. The absence of her friend Annabelle was palpable, leaving a void that echoed in the empty office. With each passing second, Cindy's concern grew, fueled by the unanswered questions swirling in her mind.

Closing the door behind her, Cindy turned to leave, only to be startled by the sound of approaching footsteps. She spun around, her eyes searching desperately for any sign of Annabelle's presence. But instead, she was met by Lily, Annabelle's assistant, wearing a troubled expression.
