Chapter 1
🎬 Opening Scene
> Location: A quiet street on the edge of the city — night — light rain falls.
Character: Kayla (21), a college student, exhausted after a long day.
---
Inside the car — 11:47 PM
Kayla drives slowly, soft music playing in the background.
Her phone lights up with several message notifications.
She replies to her friend:
> Friend: “Forget him. You always get bored too fast.”
Kayla (laughs and types): “I only love the beginning. The endings are always boring.”
She arrives home and parks in front of her house.
Takes a deep breath, turns off the engine, grabs her phone, glances at herself in the mirror — and smiles faintly.
She steps out of the car and starts walking toward the house.
Her heels click softly on the pavement. The night is eerily quiet.
---
📱 Her phone buzzes — a new message from an unknown number.
> Text: “Stop walking.”
She freezes.
Looks around — no one there.
She chuckles nervously.
> Kayla (murmuring): “Probably a prank from one of my friends.”
She keeps walking.
After three steps — another message.
> Text: “I said stop.”
She stops completely. Her heart starts racing.
Slowly lifts her head — and sees a reflection in the car window across the street:
A shadowy figure standing behind her.
She spins around —
The street is empty.
The streetlight flickers for a second.
A third notification sound.
A short video message arrives.
She opens it…
It’s footage of herself, walking just seconds ago — filmed from a distance.
Her phone vibrates again — another message.
She opens it instantly:
> 🎙️ “You always loved the beginnings… didn’t you?”
Her phone slips from her hand, hitting the ground.
The screen goes black.
