My Wife’s Phone and Mine Always Ring at Midnight, But No Number
<p>Episode 1</p><p><br/></p><p>It started the night we returned from a friend’s burial. At exactly midnight, a call came in. My wife’s phone rang. At the same time, mine rang too.</p><p><br/></p><p>We were exhausted. The journey had been long, and neither of us had spoken much on the drive home.</p><p><br/></p><p>Half asleep, I reached over and silenced both phones. I assumed it was just a normal call.</p><p><br/></p><p>In the morning, I checked my call log.</p><p>Nothing. No missed call. No number.</p><p><br/></p><p>My wife checked hers too. Nothing. We laughed it off. Maybe we imagined it. Maybe we were just too tired. But the next night, it happened again.</p><p><br/></p><p>Exactly midnight. A call came in. Both phones rang at the same time. This time, we sat up and stared at the screens.</p><p><br/></p><p>No number. The screen was blank. I was about to answer, but my wife stopped me.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Leave it,” she said quietly. “We’ll check it in the morning.”</p><p><br/></p><p>So I silenced them again. By morning, there was still no record of any call.</p><p><br/></p><p>My wife frowned. “Maybe it’s the network,” she said. We waited all day. No call came.</p><p><br/></p><p>On the third night, it happened again.</p><p>I sat up slowly. This wasn’t normal. By morning, we noticed tiny ants crawling across the bedroom floor.</p><p><br/></p><p>Not one. Not two. Many. We swept them away in silence. That was when I noticed something else. Our bedroom door was slightly open.</p><p><br/></p><p>We never left it that way. I decided to call my friend.</p><p>“Bro,” I said. “Something strange has been happening since that night.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“What do you mean?” he asked.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Our phones ring every midnight. Both of them. But there’s never a number.”</p><p><br/></p><p>There was a long pause. Then he spoke quietly.</p><p>“Relax. Maybe it’s coincidence. Switch off your phones at night. It could be nothing.”</p><p><br/></p><p>That night, we did exactly that. Both phones, completely off. We stayed awake. Watching. Waiting.</p><p><br/></p><p>Midnight came. And suddenly, both phones started ringing, even though they were off. My heart pounded. This wasn’t possible. I reached for my phone.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Please… don’t answer it,” my wife whispered.</p><p>Her voice was shaking.</p><p><br/></p><p>But I had to know. I pressed the answer button.</p><p><br/></p><p>And at that exact moment, the bedroom light went off.</p><p><br/></p><p>To be continued.</p>
