The Mysterious Call: A Heart-Stopping Moment Iâll Never Forget
Itâs been almost two decades since my husband passed away, just after the birth of our daughter, Susie. Sheâs 18 now, and life has been a whirlwind of ups and downs, but something happened recently that I still canât explain.
One evening, I was walking down the hallway when I overheard Susie talking softly on the landline. "Okay, Dad, I miss you too," she whispered. My heart dropped. I froze. The room felt suffocating. Susie quickly hung up the phone, and when she saw me standing there, she nervously said, "Who were you talking to?"
"Nobody. Wrong number," she quickly brushed it off.
But that moment... it didn't sit right with me. I couldnât shake the eerie feeling that had settled in my chest. Later that night, my curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to check the call log. The number was unfamiliar â a string of digits I didnât recognize. Something told me I had to know more.
I dialed the number, my heart racing with a mix of dread and anticipation. The phone rang a few times, then there was an eerie silence... followed by slow, deliberate breathing on the other end. My pulse quickened.
Then, the words I never expected: âSusie, I was starting to think you wouldnât call again tonight.â
I was paralyzed. A cold chill ran through me, and I felt like I couldnât breathe. My voice came out shaky, barely above a whisper. âWho is this?â I demanded, my heart pounding in my chest.
And then, nothing but silence...
