Sarah’s phone buzzed at 3:47 AM.
A text from her sister: “Don’t come home.”
She sat up in bed, confused. Her sister lived three hours away. Another buzz: “It’s in the house.”
Sarah called immediately. No answer. She texted back: “What’s going on? Are you okay?”
The reply came instantly: “I’m fine. Why are you texting me at 4 AM?”
Sarah’s blood turned cold. She looked at her previous messages. The warnings were still there, but now they showed a different sender.
Her own number.
A creak echoed from the hallway outside her bedroom. Her phone buzzed one final time: “I told you not to come home.”
But Sarah was already home. She’d been home all night.
The doorknob began to turn.
