You Shouldn't Have Answered: Some Numbers Should Never Be Dialed...

C.K. Smith

When brothers Jace and Theo throw an unplanned Halloween party while their parents are away, the worst they expect is a trashed house or a noise complaint.

They’re wrong.

It starts as a joke.

A stupid game.
Random phone calls. Say something creepy. Hang up. Laugh.

Harmless…

Until one number answers.

The voice on the other end doesn’t yell.
Doesn’t hang up.

He whispers:

“I’ve been waiting.”

What begins as a prank spirals into something far more dangerous. Every call pulls them deeper into a nightmare they can’t escape.

One by one, people start disappearing.
A friend. A girlfriend.
Bodies left behind like messages.

Now the house isn’t a party.

It’s a trap.

And the caller isn’t playing games.

He’s hunting.

No one leaves.
Not until he gets what he wants.

And all he wants… is an apology.

They shouldn’t have called.
They shouldn’t have answered.

Now—they’ll pay for both.

Because on Halloween… some calls don’t need an invitation.

And you shouldn’t have answered.
