My phone alarm was acting up, going off at random hours. One night, it woke me at 3:33 a.m. with the message: \u201cCome outside.\u201d Thinking it was some glitch, I ignored it. The next morning, there was a note slipped under my door: \u201cYou missed us. Try again tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Curious, I decided to play along. At 3:33 a.m., when the alarm buzzed again. Terrified but curious, I stepped outside.<\/p>\n
My phone lit up with one final message: \u201cTurn around.\u201d When I did, there was nothing there.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho\u2019s there?\u201d I called out. A voice, distant but clear, replied, \u201cYou answered. That\u2019s all we needed.\u201d Since that night, my phone\u2019s been silent. I still don\u2019t know who they were\u2014or what would\u2019ve happened if I hadn\u2019t answered.<\/p>\n
