Ryan’s phone rang at2:17 AM.
He wasn’t expecting a call, especially not this late. Groggy, he reached for his phone and looked at thecaller ID.
Hisown numberwas calling him.
His breathhitched.
That wasn’t possible. His phone was right there, in his hand.
Slowly, he answered.
At first, there wassilence. Then, the faintest sound ofbreathing.
“Hello?” Ryan whispered.
A long pause.
Then, hisown voicecame through the line.
“Don’t go outside.”
Ryanfroze. His mouth went dry, his heart hammering against his ribs.
“Who is this?” he demanded.
No response.
Just more breathing.
Then, the call ended.
His hands wereshakingas he lowered the phone. He tried to rationalize it—maybe it was aprank, a glitch, something explainable.
Then—
His phone buzzed again.
One new notification.
Avoicemail.
With a deep sense of dread, Ryan played the message.
At first, it was juststatic. Then—hisown voice again.
“He’s at the window.”
Ryan’s stomachdropped.
Slowly, he turned toward his bedroom window.
The blinds were shut, but through the tiny gap—
He saw afigure standing outside.
Watching.
Waiting.
The phone slipped from his fingers.
The screen blinked once before the power cut out.
A softtapsounded against the glass.
And from the darkness outside, he heard his own voice whisper—
“Let me in.”

凌晨2:17,瑞恩的手機響了。
他沒想到會接到電話,尤其是這個時間。他昏昏沉沉地拿起手機,看了一眼來電顯示。
是——
他自己的號碼。
他的呼吸瞬間停滯。
不可能。他的手機就在手裡。
猶豫了一下,他慢慢地接起電話。
一片寂靜。
然後,他聽到了微弱的呼吸聲。
“喂?”瑞恩低聲說道。
長長的沉默。
然後,電話裡傳來了他的自己的聲音。
“不要出門。”
瑞恩僵住。他的喉嚨發乾,心臟狂跳。
“你是誰?”他低吼道。
沒有回答。
只有那低沉的呼吸聲。
然後,電話掛斷了。
瑞恩的手指微微顫抖,緊緊攥着手機。他努力讓自己冷靜,也許只是一個惡作劇,也許是手機故障,一定有合理的解釋。
但下一秒——
嗡——
手機又震動了一下。
新通知:1 條語音留言。
瑞恩的胃部猛地下沉。
他深吸一口氣,顫抖着播放語音。
起初,只有嘈雜的電流雜音。
然後——
他自己的聲音。
“他在窗戶外。”
瑞恩心臟一緊。
緩慢地,他轉頭看向臥室的窗戶。
窗簾是拉上的,但透過微微敞開的縫隙——
他看到一個身影站在窗外。
注視着他。
等待着。
瑞恩的手機從手中滑落,屏幕閃爍了一下,然後徹底黑屏。
緊接着——
輕輕的敲擊聲。
“嗒——嗒——”
來自窗戶的外面。
黑暗中,一個低沉的聲音輕輕響起——
“讓我進去。”
