Chapter 4 - THE VOICE

I pulled the curtain back.

Nothing. Just white porcelain and a drain with a few strands of dark hair caught in the grate.

I let out a breath I didn't know I'd been holding. Laughed at myself. A nervous, ugly sound that echoed off the tiles.

Then I heard it.

A whisper. Coming from the living room.

"Jack..."

I turned. My flashlight beam cut through the darkness. The living room was empty. Same as I'd left it.

"Jack, help me..."

The voice was coming from the bedroom. From the closet.

I walked back. Slow. My knee screaming. My heart pounding so hard I could feel it in my throat.

The closet door was open. I'd left it open. I knew I'd left it open.

But now there was something inside.

May you like

A shape. Small. Crouched in the corner behind the hanging clothes.

"Please... don't let him find me..."
