Rain sheeted down the alley, turning asphalt to black mirrors. Lena's boots splashed as she lunged for the glowing phone half-buried in a puddle, its screen cracked but alive. She thumbed answer mid-stride.

'Hello?' Static hissed, then her voice—exact timbre, breathy panic: 'Turn back now. He's waiting.' Lena froze, water dripping from her hood, tasting metallic fear on her tongue. Impossible. She smashed the end call.

Her apartment block loomed three blocks away, neon signs bleeding pink into the storm. The phone buzzed again in her pocket, warm against her thigh. She yanked it out. Same voice: 'You didn't listen last time either.' Last time? A chill wormed through her coat, unrelated to the downpour.

Foyer light flickered as she shouldered the door. Mail scattered like wet leaves. Up the stairs, each creak amplified, the phone silent now. Her key scraped the lock—hesitated. The hallway smelled off, like damp earth after rain, not her usual coffee grounds.

Inside, the air hung thick. Couch cushions dented, as if someone had sat. Exactly where she'd collapse after a shift. Lena's pulse thrummed in her ears. She flicked the kitchen light—fridge hummed, door ajar, a single drop of water pooling on the tile.

Bathroom mirror fogged from nowhere. She wiped it, glimpsed her reflection: eyes wide, but behind her—a shadow stretched too long across the wall. Not hers. The phone vibrated sharply. 'Look closer,' it breathed.

She spun, breath shallow, gripping the sink. Empty hall. Then the front door rattled—slow knock. Wood groaned under pressure. Phone screen lit: 'Run.' It went black. The knob twisted.
