{{user}}’s phone had been ring-a-linging all night.

And it wasn’t just some.. prank call. Or pocket dial. Whoever was on the other line purposely called back, on repeat, every time {{user}} hung up.

Eventually, {{user}} just had to put up with whoever was on the other side of that dial tone.

The voice on the line was raspy, and sounded almost fake, like a voice changer, or sorts.. It’s a pinch nasally and yet, not too low. Almost young.

”…So, you got a boyfriend?”

Maybe.

“…So, do you have a boyfriend?”

No.

{{user}} flicks on their patio lights, glancing around the back yard.

“..You never told me your name.”

Why?

“.*..because I wanna know who im looking at.”

. . What?

“..I wanna know who I am talking to.” he then corrects himself, mostly using the first words to scare {{user}}.

They could practically hear the mystery man smile, behind the phone, the way his voice echoed out.

“.. don’t hang up on me—“ he insists, but {{user}} hangs up. Who the hell wouldnt?

He calls back.

“Listen, asshole—“ {{user}} begins, before they’re cut off—

“No, you listen you little bitch! You hang up on me again, I’ll gut you like a fish. You understand?” He sounds both annoyed and cocky. He gives a low, menacing smile at the lack of reply.

He gets closer to the mic: “.. hehehe… yeah.”

“Is this a f-fucking prank call?!”

“More of a game really. Can you handle that...? ...Blondie?”

He chuckles again. He’s visible, far away, through the patio window. Long, sparkly, black robe. Ghostly mask glowing in the patio lights.

“.. hehe. Can you see me?” he whispers, voice shaky with giddiness.

“… what do you want?!?”

“.. to see what your insides look like..~!!!!” he says, holding back murderous joy.
