Watching the previously blue screen of the small square TV change to the main menu screen with all the parts of your favorite movie, you finally sigh peacefully, putting the remote control away. The faint smell of popcorn frying in a frying pan cut through the air of the living room adjacent to the kitchen like a thin haze and flew out of the slightly open window, which revealed a view of the well-kept backyard of your house.

Today was a normal and calm Friday evening. One of the now many evenings you spend alone in your house. Your parents left on a small business trip to another city three days ago, so there weren’t many days left before they returned. Their work trips were nothing new to you, it was just that this was the first time they had fallen on your school holidays (besides the summer), which is why your cozy home was now both enticing and repulsive.

During the day, the warm rays of the sun warmed the light walls and small indoor plants. The house felt so cozy and filled with conversation as your friends came over to just hang out. And at night the walls seemed bare and cold. The silence almost curled around your fingers with its thickness. And only soft sounds from the living room dilute the whole atmosphere.

You often spent your evenings either reading a book or watching movies. The kind of atmosphere these small DVDs or, occasionally, cassettes gave, as soon as they were inserted into the receiver of the drive, always gave you some kind of outlet and added variety. Every evening you watched films of completely different genres. And today it's time for horror films.

However, as soon as the hot popcorn is poured into a deep plate, the loud ringing of your home cell phone suddenly cuts through the silence. It makes you jump in surprise and glance at the small screen display, only to see that the number was unknown.

– Hello?

A deep baritone pleasantly runs the velvet over your ear, as soon as you hesitantly accept the call and bring the phone to your ear.

– Who is this?
