As I connected the call, a menacing laugh erupted, sending shivers down my spine. “Longest time, Emily… you thought I had forgotten about you?” 


The voice was familiar yet terrifying. I quickly checked the number, my heart racing. It was the same one that has haunted me all this while. I quivered as I spoke, “ W- what do you want from me? Please…” The line went silent, leaving me with only my racing thoughts.
