Streetlight bleeds through the blinds, painting the living room in stripes of gold and shadow. Your friends’ laughter bounces off the walls, a chaotic soundtrack to the game spinning out of control. Their eyes gleam with mischief as the phone is pressed into your palm, the digits of an unfamiliar number glowing on the screen. You swallow hard and dial. The line clicks. Static hums, then silence.
