never came back after
as reply to The Ritual
"So they really got your guy?"
Blayne nodded. Although he didn't know who the guy was. The guy was just a guest. But Danny wouldn't help unless he thought it was someone close to Blayne.
Danny took out a cigarette and lit it, his hands covering the flame from the sea side...

Was his name Blayne? Or was it Blain? Nobody knew. Why'd it matter? Danny would say.
Danny always had a cool demeanor. The kids on Blayne's floor loved that. Always would be asking when Danny would be coming back.
Blayne liked it too. because now the floor hung out with him. but...

g'night
as reply to My Help
Jack heard someone through the door and walls. He thought about yelling. But then held his tongue. Who knew what was going on. What if that was an innocent person. What if Jack yelling would cause a commotion and get an innocent person involved.

as reply to Died Down
Danny had just opened a new beer when the knocks came. He took a sip. Wiped his mouth. Thought about answering the door. No new knocks. Took another sip. Considered not answering the door at all. He was having a bad day. Many phone calls. He didn't know from who...

There was still smoke in the air. Her ears were ringing. Danny put the pistol back down.
She remembered the image. But more the sound.
"Shut that god damn phone off!" Danny had said before whipping out the pistol and shooting the phone.
After tht her ears were ringing. Guns were loud, but...

Blayne and the new kid
as reply to It was Cold
Blayne asked the new kid to tell him again.
"The room. Empty. Well except for a coffee cup on the window sill--"
"They just... left?"
The kid didn't know how to respond to that. The answer was yes, but he thought the old man might have a heart attack or just faint.
Luckily he...

time to go back to her life
as reply to Hung Up
It wasn't the voice. Her fear came from the words.
"Why you calling so much? Who is this?"
Whoever was on the other line wasn't concerned about concealing themselves. Didn't try to imitate Jack.
