The clock on the wall shows 11:59 PM. Phone Rings. ALEX (puzzled, answers) Hello? MYSTERIOUS VOICE (whispering) Don't look behind you. ALEX (nervously) Who is this? MYSTERIOUS VOICE (urgent) Now. The call disconnects. ALEX glances over their shoulder nervously. Nothing is there. They try to shake it off and return to their phone. Clock Strikes Midnight. Phone Rings Again. ALEX (voice shaky) Hello? MYSTERIOUS VOICE (whispering) Too late. The call ends abruptly. ALEX's eyes widen in fear. They slowly turn around. The camera reveals an empty room. Suddenly, a shadow moves swiftly across the room. ALEX (screaming) Who's there? The lights flicker and go out. Silence. [CUT TO BLACK] Text on Screen: "Always be aware of your surroundings."
