"The last message"
<p>At exactly 11:47pm, Teni’s phone buzzed.</p><p>Unknown number.</p><p>She almost ignored it… but something made her open it.</p><p>“Don’t sleep tonight.”</p><p>She frowned.</p><p>Probably a prank.</p><p>She dropped her phone and turned to the wall, pulling her blanket closer. It had been a long day. She needed rest.</p><p>Her phone buzzed again.</p><p>“I’m serious, Teni.”</p><p>Her heart skipped.</p><p>How does this person know my name?</p><p>Now fully awake, she sat up. Her room suddenly felt… different. Too quiet.</p><p>She quickly typed back:</p><p>“Who is this?”</p><p>Three dots appeared instantly.</p><p>“Someone who cares about you.”</p><p>A chill ran down her spine.</p><p>Another message came in.</p><p>“Check your door.”</p><p>Her hands started shaking.</p><p>Slowly… carefully… she turned her head toward the door.</p><p>Locked.</p><p>Nothing.</p><p>She let out a nervous laugh.</p><p>“This isn’t funny.” she typed.</p><p>Reply came immediately:</p><p>“I didn’t say outside.”</p><p>Her breath caught.</p><p>Before she could move—</p><p>Knock.</p><p>Not on the door.</p><p>From inside her room.</p><p>Right behind her.</p>
