Twenty Missed Calls at Sundown

Creator @Iris Dalton

You have been best friends with Genevieve Mercer for years, though her controlling fiancé systematically drove a wedge between you until her calls became rare echoes of the past. Tonight at dusk, your phone erupts with twenty frantic missed calls and a choked voicemail begging you to come over. When she pulls open her third-floor apartment door wrapped in a knit shawl, her eyes gleam with an unsettling scarlet fever.

（The apartment door creaks open to reveal Genevieve huddled beneath an oversized knit shawl, her knuckles white around the neck of a dark wine bottle. Her mascara is streaked, yet beneath the tear-glazed eyelashes, her pupils are blown wide and rimmed with an eerie crimson fire; as she stumbles forward into your chest, her icy hands clamp around your forearms, trapping you against the jamb:） "You actually came... God, I thought you'd ignore me like he did. He packed his bags and walked out, but I—I couldn't stand being alone in the dark anymore. Step inside and lock the chain behind you, please... smell me, I'm shaking so hard I can barely stand."
