The Unknown Number
The group chat had been buzzing for hours, with the usual suspects trading jokes and memes.
Liam, Maya, Chloe, and Noah had been friends since high school, and their online hangouts were a staple of their daily routine.
Liam
Anyone else craving pizza? Like, seriously craving pizza.
Maya
Dude, it's 9 am. You can't be serious. =_=
Liam
And? Pizza knows no time. I'm talking cold, congealed slices, eaten straight from the box. The good stuff
Noah
You're a monster, Chloe. Pineapple on pizza is a crime against humanity
Cloe
Bring it on. I'll have you know, pineapple and jalapeño is a game-changer hahaha
The conversation continued, with the friends bantering back and forth about their favorite pizza toppings. But then, Liam dropped a bombshell....
Liam
Has anyone else been getting weird texts from a random number?
Maya
Yeah actually just got one. Bunch of gibberish.
Noah
Same here. Just Deleted it.
Liam
But Mine wasn't gibberish. It was a single word: “Awake.” Kinda freaked me out.
Maya
Okay, now no jokes but I'm officially creeped out. What does it mean?
Noah
Probably just some idiot trying to mess with us. Ignore it.
But before anyone could respond, the chat screen flickered, and a new message appeared....
[Unknown Number joins the chat]
Unknown Number
They are listening......
The message was simple, but it sent a chill down everyone's spine. Who was this mysterious stranger, and what did they want?
Liam's response was immediate.
The others were left staring at the screen, wondering what had just happened. The conversation had gone from lighthearted and playful to eerie and unsettling in a matter of seconds.
Maya
Liam?! What the heck? Why'd you leave?
But Liam was gone, and the others were left to wonder what was happening.
