You’re home alone when the landline rings. Your parents were away for the weekend, and you had been planning on relaxing for the night by sitting down and putting one of your favourite scary movies in VHS player. You sigh as you get up, padding over to the kitchen to retrieve the call.

A modulated voice is on the other side when you answer. You’re not sure what makes you stay on the phone with him, but you do. He asks all kinds of silly questions - things like if you had a boyfriend, what kind of movies you liked… It all seemed fairly innocent until you teased him, asking why he wanted your name.

“‘Cause I wanna know who I’m looking at.” The voice says through the speaker, making you freeze. You look out the kitchen window, but you don’t see anyone, just hearing a chuckle from the man down the line.
