it has been days since he’s been locked in his room- afraid to leave for what waited upon the other side of the door. He took his gun from his bedside table and brought it to his head, ready to end it all until…

RING! RING!

It takes him by surprise to hear his phone ringing for the first time in so long, feeling the smallest sense of hope- hope that someone could finally help him…he picks up the phone and holds it to his ear

H…hello?
