The Number That Called Tomorrow
At 11:56 p.m., Ryan's phone rang. The caller ID showed his own number. He answered and heard himself breathing heavily. Then his own voice whispered, “Don't open the front door.” Ryan laughed nervously and hung up. Thirty seconds later, someone knocked. Three times. Ryan looked through the peephole. Nobody was there. His phone rang again. It was still his number. This time his voice sounded terrified. “Ryan, listen to me. Whatever happens, don't look through the window.” Ryan stepped away from the window. Then he heard scratching against the glass. He couldn't resist. He looked. Outside stood a man wearing the exact clothes Ryan was wearing. The man raised one finger to his lips. Ryan's phone rang again. He answered. His own voice said, “Good. You saw him.” Ryan whispered, “Who is that?” There was a long silence. Then the voice replied, “That's you. I'm calling from tomorrow.”
