So i was cleaning out my closet today and came across a phone number on the back of a receipt. Searching deep within the realm of my mind i was unable to discover its origin. I placed the receipt on my table, and went to bed, as it was late and any attempt to call the number at this ungodly hour would have been quit discurtious. As i slept i dreamed that I pulled up a chair to my table and stared at the number for a good 45 minutes. Still unable to recall to whom this number belonged, i decided to dial the number on my cell phone. The phone rang 7 times before i finally gave in and ended the call. The second i hung up, every last drop of power in my house ceased to exist. Sitting in the darkness, i pondered the possible reason for this sudden power outage. I arose from my seat and moved over to the window. Peering out i could see the power in the homes surrounding was still quite operational. I returned to my seat once again to dwell on the situation at hand, this time scratching my head to convey my confusion. Apparently the power outage in my home extended to my brain, for the light bulb which often flares into existance whilst i ponder remained unlit. Then, a knock at the door. I arose yet again from my seat to answer said knock. As i opened the door, a rancid odor permeated throughout the vestibule.The figure that stould before me would strike fear into the heart of any man. A man, seemingly ungroomed for his entire life, wearing a tattered black suit. His eyes offered nothing but desolation, and a glow of unrighteousness clinged to his beastlike frame. He slowly raised a decrepit finger in the direction of the cell phone in my hand. I quickly inquired if it was he that the mysterious number belonged to. Without saying a word he entered my home uninvited. As he brushed past me an overwhelming feeling of cold seized my very soul. The door slammed behind him. Shaken, i made my way up the stairs in pursuit. Undesirable as his presence was, i found any attempt to ask him to leave futile, for i could form no words. He sat in the chair i had placed by the table for myself, and stared intently at the receipt his number was on. Black smoke began to rise from the paper followed by a burst of flames that consumed it, leaving no sign of ash or burn on the table.The man reached for a piece of paper and a pen and scribbled furiously. He then folded the paper and arose from his seat. I found myself no longer able to look at him, try as i may i was unable to even move my head. He slowly roamed towards the door, it opening on its own and slamming behind him. I stould unable to move for several minutes, then i felt a rush of heat and was able to move again. I scrambled over to the paper left behind to find a new number scribbled out. Without taking even a second to think it over i used my phone to call it. This time i allowed the phone to ring 77 times before i gave in and hung up. As quickly as the last call seized the power, did this breath life back into my home. I then woke up and rushed to my table to find the number gone. I glanced over to my clock to see a blinking 12:00.![]()
