Text From My Own Number

I never believed in signs… until this happened. Every night at exactly 3:17am,

my phone would vibrate. No notification. No missed call. Just… vibration. I checked my screen

one night. It said: “Do not look behind you.” I laughed. Locked my phone.

And turned over. The vibration came again. Stronger this time. Another message

appeared. “I warned you.” I felt my room go cold. Not chilly.

Cold. I didn’t look behind me. Instead, I checked my phone

history. The message… was sent from my own number. : 3:18am tomorrow.

That’s when my phone vibrated again.
