My mother called me tonight. She died six years ago, and her number was still saved in my phone.
I watched it ring until the last second before answering. At first, there was only static. Then I heard her voice, weak and hurried.
“Listen carefully. Whatever happens, don’t say your name.”
The call ended.
A few seconds later, someone spoke from the hallway.
“Who are you?”
It sounded exactly like her.
