Her phone vibrated. This was the third time this number called, and she decided to answer.

"Hello"? She waits for a response.

"Hello". A raspy voice responds.

"Who is this"? She asked.

"Who do you want it to be". The voice responds.

"I don't play games. Who is this"? She responds impatiently.

"I do". The voice says.

"Do what"? She questions.

"Play games. In fact, I have one for you to play"?

"Not interested". She hangs up before the man could respond.

She goes into a petite little kitchen. She walks around the kitchen isle, and walks to the microwave. She removes a popped bag of popcorn. And walks toward the kitchen, but the ringing of her phone distracts her.

"Unknown caller".

"Ugh. Hello"? She already knew who it was.

"Its me". The voice said, in a low tone.

"I know. What do you want". She was beginning to feel impatient.

"I want you to play my game". The voice said, without hint of cockiness.

"I already said I'm not interested. Plus my boyfriend will be here pretty Soon. So I suggest you quit calling me."

"Sure".

"Great". She said with no time for him to respond. She hangs up, only for it to ring right away.

She answers it.

"Only if you play my game". The voice responds.

"And apparently you didn't hear me say I'm not interested". She responds with haste.

"We'll see".

She hangs up and sets the movie in the DVD player, and sets the popcorn in a big bowl, placing it one the coffee table.

The phone vibrates again.

"You Got to be shitting me". She says to herself. She grabs her cell off the counter, and clicks the talk button.

"Fuck off". She yells into the phone.

"That's a interesting way to cancel". A young male voice rings in her ear.

"Oh my God, Ben. I'm sorry, someone keeps calling me".

"Who is it"?

"I don't know". She looks out the dining room window out toward a yard coated in darkness. The porch swing slowly rocked ominously in the rainy night air.

"I'll be there in five". Ben says his goodbye and hangs up.

She heads toward the living room, when The phone vibrates again.

She answers it. "Ben, just get here already".

"So That's your boyfriends name. That certainly makes things more interesting".

"Last time I tell you to leave me alone". She hangs up. Not one minute sooner, the phone vibrates again. She answers.

"Leave me alone"!

"Help...me". She recognises the voice, and fear strikes her.

"Ben? What's wrong"? Her voice quivers.

She hears pounding in the front door. She turns to look, and the line goes dead from his side. The pounding continues.

As she nears the door, the door flies open, and Bens body falls to the floor.

"Ben! Ben! Oh my God! What happened to You"? She kneels next to his body, and sees a horrible wound near his chest, gushing blood.

"R..R..R..Run". He struggles to say the word". His breathing slows and He drops his head to the floor.

"Shit". She gets up and runs to the cell on the coffee table. She picks it up, just as it begins to vibrate.

"What"? Her voice is beginning to shake as she silently sobs.

"I told you. you have to play my game. And I've rerouted any calls to 911 to not call out. I have a jammer in your phone circuit, and the celluar wire has been cut".

"Why are you doing this"?

"Because, it's fun". The voice said in a hasty tone.

"What's the game"?

"Get comfortable, you're going to be here a while".
