I got a message at 2:13 a.m. from an unknown number. It told me to forward it to someone before sunrise… or something would come for me if I didn’t.

I laughed. Deleted it. Blocked the number.

I thought it was nothing.

But after that, things started to change. Reflections that didn’t match reality. Movement at the edge of my vision. Footsteps where no one should be.

I told myself I was imagining it.

Now I’m not so sure.

Because whatever sent that message… didn’t stop just because I ignored it.

And sunrise is getting closer.
