August awoke to a black phone ringing behind him. He hit his head a few times to see if it was fake but sure enough the phone continued to ring.

"What the fuck.." August whispered. "What?" a shaky voice spoke. He turned to see the one and only ✨Grabber✨ sitting against the wall...staring.  A disgusted look formed on augusts face. "Why are you staring at me?" August spoke cautiously. The grabber got up and walked towards the door. On his way out he stopped in the doorway. "Just to look at you... I just wanted to look at you." The grabber replied. His eyes looked glossy. "crybaby.." August mumbled. The grabber closed the door and shut off the lights. 

The phone rang again startling august to the point where he fell on the floor. "Ow!" He yelped, placing a hand on his head. August got up and picked up the phone. "Hello!?" Hope formed in augusts stomach. This could be it. Stupid grabber leaving the phone in here. He would see his mom, dad... Gwen. Poor gwen left alone. I should have never helped in. That fucker! Who does he think he is! Once I get out i'm gonna -

!Click!

August was pulled out of his train of thought with the sound of the phone clicking. "Hello!? HELLO!?" August yelled. No response. "GOD DAMNIT" August screamed, slamming the phone back on the hook. 

August searched the basement. Looking for something, anything! that could help him get out.  Suddenly, a beam of light hit august's face. He looked up to see a window. "This is my chance!" August thought. 

August jumped up trying to reach the window but to no avail he fell back down each time. "Well, i could use... The rugs!" August smiled, making his way over to the bathroom.

The lights flickered on and august froze. The door slowly creaked open. The sound of footsteps grew louder. "Hello?" The grabber called. You could feel the worry and anger across the room. "HELLO?" The grabber yelled again. "Calm down! I'm in the bathroom." August said. Air quoting bathroom even though no one could see. "Well.. Alright then. I brought down breakfast." The grabber sighed. And with that the door creaked closed and the lights flickered off.

August stepped out of the hallway to find spongy eggs and a sprite. "Yumm... My favorite." August said sarcastically.

Finally, august gave in and ate the cold eggs trying to not think about the taste too much.  "Ok! back to work." August groaned. Trudging back to the bathroom to grab the rugs. 

One by one august grabbed the rugs and dragged them out to the window. The lights once more flickered on and HMM LETS THINK WHO COULD IT BE, OH UR RIGHT 

THE GRABBER 😨😨

"I'm my fucking god. Just leave me alone. for 5 minutes." August whined. "Sounds like you missed me..What are you doing ?" The grabber asked suspiciously, glaring at the rugs. August turned around "Obliviously" to look at the rugs. "Oh those ?" I just want some decor.. these floors are nasty." August smiled. 

"Ok... what's your name?" The grabber replied. "why..?" August spoke. "I just want to know."  The grabber added. "If I tell you.. will you let me go." August asked. "Maybe.." 

"August." He answered

"Hmm, it's no fun when you lie." The grabber pouted. He soon left the room and turned of the lights

!RING!

August ran over and picked up the phone. "HELLO!?" 

"AUGUST!"
