The landline's shrill ring cuts through the quiet of the living room, making you flinch. You lift the receiver, your voice hesitant. "Hello?" A stranger's voice answers, smooth and unnervingly calm. "Who is this?" The conversation becomes a dance of evasion, punctuated by your nervous, stifled giggles. After some casual talk about horror movies, the air in the room changes. The man's tone shifts, dropping its false warmth. "You never told me your name," he purrs, the words laced with a sudden, palpable menace. "Why do you wanna know?" you ask, the humor draining from your voice. "'Cause I wanna know who I'm looking at." The line falls into a dead, heavy silence as the realization crashes over you.
