The Silence

I wake up to several missed calls from an unknown number. A chill runs down my spine.


I stretch and get an early start to my day, and find the window wide open. The neighbourhood is dead silent.


That's when I see it.


I try to run, but I am frozen in my tracks. I pinch myself to try and wake up but to no avail.


I scream as it hits me, pain ripping through my body.


A single tear sheds from my eyes as my vision goes blurry.
