It was as though countless ck shadows lurked in the dark, ready to consume her at any moment.


    Since then, she had been deathly afraid of the dark, so she always went to bed with a night light turned on.


    Once again, Lindsey found herself subconsciously curling up into a ball on the sofa, shuddering violently.


    She could just picture the countless ck, shadowy hands reaching out to grab her.


    “No, don’te near me!”


    In a panic, Lindsey hurriedly turned on the shlight on her phone.


    Its faint light gave her a small sense of relief.


    But only then did she realize that she forgot to charge her phone today, and now, its battery was running low!


    Just then, her phone rang, piercing the silence.


    It was Domenic calling!


    Overjoyed, Lindsey answered without hesitation.


    “I just received a message from property management that the power went out due to a broken circuit, and that it’d be repaired by tomorrow morning.


    How’re you doing over there?”


    The familiar andforting brought Lindsey some relief, but at the same time, it made her sad.


    If only Domenic hadn’t worked overtime… If only he had been with her tonight…


    “I… I’m fine.


    ”


    Taking a shuddery breath, Lindsey forced a smile and pretended to be calm.


    She had half a


    mind to tell him how scared she was and that she wanted him toe home, but she knew that it wasn’t appropriate, so she held herself back.


    “Really?”


    “Yeah…”


    Lindsey tried her best to stifle the sob that wanted to escape her throat.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    “Okay, good.


    Go to bed and get some rest.


    You’ve had a long day.


    ”


    Right after their call ended, her phone battery died and the Light was instantly extinguished.


    Once again, Lindsey was plunged into darkness.


    She squeezed her eyes shut, heart palpitating, but her hallucinations continued.


    Those ck, shadowy fingers hovered around her restlessly, eager to pounce.


    It was so horrible! If only someone coulde to her rescue!


    Lindsey whimpered softly.


    Cold sweat dripped from her forehead and trickled down her pale face.


    As the minutes ticked by, Lindsey found it increasingly hard to breathe.


    Suddenly, she heard the sound of the door being unlocked.
