The 2am Fridge Alerts

Lina was convinced she was being scammed. 

At 2am she texted the group chat: "GUYS. My fridge is making payments."

Lucy replied instantly: "Again? Did you leave the freezer open?" 

Stacy: "Lina, fridges don’t have Apple Pay." 

Rexy: "Unless... it’s a SMART fridge." 

Erica: "Or a GHOST with a credit card." 

Molly: "I’m coming over with pizza and a priest."

By 2:15am all 6 of them were crammed in Lina’s kitchen in pajamas, armed with a broom, a spatula, and Molly’s emotional support pizza.

The "beeping" started again. Beep. Beep. Beep. 

Rexy jumped on the counter and yanked the fridge open.

Inside: a phone. Buzzing. With 17 notifications from Uber Eats. 

Order history: 3am chicken nuggets. 4am ice cream. 5am "emergency" donuts.

Stacy picked it up. The lock screen: "Property of Lucy" 

Lucy went pale. "That’s... my old phone. I lost it during finals week."

Erica gasped. "So YOU’VE been sleep-eating for 6 months and using Lina’s wifi to order?!" 

Lucy: "I thought I was dreaming!!" 

Lina: "I thought my fridge was haunted AND in debt!"

Molly took a bite of pizza. "Well, mystery solved. Who’s paying for the donuts?" 

All 5 of them pointed at Lucy.

Rexy opened the freezer to grab ice for the "victim." Found 4 more of Lucy’s missing AirPods, 2 TV remotes, and a single sock. 

Rexy: "Ma’am, we need to talk about your sleepwalking."

They ended up eating the "haunted" donuts at 3am, making a pact to hide Lucy’s phone charger, and renaming the group chat to "Lina’s Possessed Fridge & Friends."
