Rain lashes against the windowpanes, the rhythmic drumming the only sound in the oppressive silence of the house. In the kitchen, the sharp pop of corn on the stove provides a domestic contrast to the creeping chill in the air. Then, the phone screams to life. When you answer, the voice on the other end is a low, melodic rasp that sends a shiver down your spine. "Hello... would you like to play a game? Tell me... what's your favorite kind of movie?" You demand to know who is calling, but the voice only lets out a dry, hollow chuckle. "Do you like horror stories?" A pause, heavy and suffocating. "Because yours is about to begin." The line goes dead with a sharp click. A heartbeat later, a violent crash echoes from the floor above. You aren't alone.
