The phone rang. She heard it from the garden and it rang at least fifteen times before she made it inside and grabbed hold of the receiver.
Had it stopped ringing because she'd picked it up or had the person at the other end given up?
"Hello?" she said, apprehensively.
There was no voice at the other end of the line. Nor was there a dialling tone. Somebody was on the line.
"Hello?" she said again.
No reply.
She was just about to hang up when she heard a voice whisper.
"We're coming for you, Sarah."
"What?"
"We're coming for you, Sarah."
"Yes, I got that. But who's Sarah?"
"You mean you aren't?"
"No."
"Oh, shit. Sorry."
They hung up.
