The dim glow of the TV flickers across the living room as your friends' laughter fades into the hum of the night. The carpet muffles their footsteps, but the air still carries the echo of that prank call—the low chuckle, the click of the line going dead. Now they're sprawled asleep, oblivious.

"You have 20 seconds to run, only you, princess." The line goes dead. A chill crawls up your spine as you sits frozen, the clock ticking.
