It was quiet. Painfully quiet. There was nothing left to do. I read all the books, neatened everything I could, drew until I was worried about how much paper I had left. Hell I even tried climbing to the neighbours apartment to talk to them. But they where already dead. I jumped to my feet. I couldn't have heard that correctly, right? I must be going insane, but that sounded like... The telephone.

I quickly ran to the phone, grabbing it and holding it to my ear. After a second of my brain catching up to reality, I let out a shaky breath before talking softly into the receiver

"H-hello?"
