*π "The Last Notification" β A Spooky Halloween Tale π±π»*
It was Halloween night. The wind howled outside, rattling the windows of Ayaanβs room as he scrolled endlessly through his phone. Outside, kids in costumes roamed the streets. But Ayaan wasnβt into Halloweenβhe preferred silence, solitudeβ¦ and his screen.
At 3:00 AM, his phone buzzed.
*Notification: "Youβve been chosen. Tap to accept your fate."*
The sender? *Unknown.*
Thinking it was just a prank app or one of those dark web games people joked about, he tapped it.
The phone screen went black. Then lit up againβonly this time, it was showing a *live video feed* of *his room*β¦ from the ceiling corner.
He froze. He didnβt have a camera there.
His phone vibrated again.
*"Donβt turn around. It doesnβt like to be seen."*
A cold breath tickled the back of his neck. His heart pounded. Slowly, the closet door behind him creaked openβon its own.
A message flashed:
*"Youβve seen it now. Itβs your turn."*
He dropped the phone. The screen cracked. The light blinked out.
No one heard from Ayaan again.
But at 3:00 AM every Halloween, someone new gets the same message:
*"Youβve been chosen."*
Happy Halloween. Donβt forget to check your notificationsβ¦ carefully. ππ±π
