The rusted hinges of the radio station's door groaned as Alex pushed it open, the musty air washing over the group. Casey followed close behind, her camera already rolling to capture every detail of the abandoned space. Jordan and Sam brought up the rear, their flashlight beams cutting through the darkness.
"Can you believe this place has been sitting here for over 60 years, untouched?" Alex marveled, his voice echoing off the bare walls. "WKLO, the mysterious station that went silent in the late '50s without explanation."
Casey panned her camera across the dust-coated controls and tattered chairs. "The last broadcast," she whispered, a chill running down her spine. "What do you think happened?"
Jordan shrugged. "Equipment failure? Lost funding? Or maybe..." A mischievous grin spread across his face. "Maybe something more sinister."
"Cut it out," Sam chided, though a nervous laugh escaped her lips. "Let's just get this episode recorded and get out of here. This place gives me the creeps."
They set up their gear, stationing themselves around the main broadcasting booth. Alex fiddled with the ancient equipment, surprised to find it still functional. He glanced at his friends, a daring idea forming.
"Hey, what if we did the episode live? Fired up the transmitter for old times' sake?"
"No way," Sam protested. "We don't know what kind of shape that equipment is in. It's too risky."
But Casey was already nodding enthusiastically, caught up in Alex's excitement. "Think about it - a live broadcast from the infamous WKLO. Our listeners would lose their minds!"
Jordan added his vote. "I'm in. Let's make some history."
Outnumbered, Sam reluctantly agreed. They gathered in the booth, Alex's finger poised above the transmit button. "Ready?" Three heads nodded. "Alright. Three, two, one..."
The button clicked. For a moment, only static crackled from the speakers. Then, a low hum began to build, growing louder until it filled the room. The lights flickered, casting eerie shadows on the walls.
Casey gripped her microphone, a tremor in her voice as she spoke. "Hello, listeners. You're tuned in to a very special broadcast from the long-abandoned WKLO station. I'm Casey, joined by Alex, Jordan, and Sam. We're about to take you on a journey into the-"
A piercing squeal cut through the transmission. Casey ripped off her headphones, pressing her hands to her ears. The others did the same, their faces contorted in pain. Then, as quickly as it began, the noise stopped, plunging the station into silence.
"What the hell was that?" Jordan demanded.
Alex shook his head, perplexed. "Feedback? But from what? There's nothing else on..."
His words died as a voice crackled through the speakers. A voice that wasn't theirs.
"...journey into the darkness..." it rasped, an eerie mimicry of Casey's last words.
