Chapter 9: Lose-Lose

April             

              I look at my buzzing phone and roll my eyes with annoyance when I see an unknown number. Taking it in hand, I tap ignore and let it go to voicemail. Over the past couple of months, I’ve been getting these phone calls, but no one responds when I answer them. Instead, I hear someone’s deep breaths sifting through my ears. No thanks!

              I’ve also been seeing some weird shit around the outside of my apartment. There was another bloody doll on my doorstep a couple of days ago. I just don’t know what to make of it, so I ignore it.

              Looking up, I hear the ring of Sweet Perfect’s hanging doorbell, warning me that someone is coming in.
