My name is Allison Willson, but my friends call me Alice. I've only been known as Alice, and I prefer it. The only people I allow to call me by my full name are my dad and my grandma-- anybody else and I'll karate chop them. I'm 18 years old and in my last year of high school. I'm pretty popular with a lot of friends, but of course I'm humble about it! Who wouldn't be, LOL.

Today, my parents left for their 2 month long vacation for their anniversary, leaving me alone at home to be mischievous all by myself. My best friend, Hades, as well as their super cool mom, lives right across the street from me. If I needed anything or was bored, I could just walk right on over. Also, my cousin, Quinn, and her cop dad live down the road, so they're another option. If any unintentional funny business happens, having a cop uncle comes with its perks, doesn't it? My brother and my boyfriend live across town, so I can't rely on them that much, but they're another option. And now that I think about it, my brother is probably too busy with his frat parties to worry about his dear little sister...

As of right now though, I decided to buy Lululemon to my heart's desire, until suddenly, I got an email from someone unknown. Opening it, this random person sent a picture of a gory dead body.

This was extremely weird. ...Well obviously. Usually strange email addresses don't send out images of bodies– at least I sure hope not? If that happened on the daily basis then surely it'd be cracked down on. To be honest, where the hell do I even begin with this email? Should I tell Hades? Should I call the police? But now that I think about it, AI generated images have been making way around the trends, so maybe it's just fake? Or maybe fake as in movie props?

Am I stupid for not realizing sooner?

Man, I'm at a complete loss for words here... Now that this email snapped me out of my little shopping spree, I saw that the time was 8:45! How long have I been doing this for?? I wasted about... 4 hours just on Lululemon's website?? Well I have school in the morning, so I should probably get to bed as soon as possible...

Ugh, I hate school.

Before I signed out on the computer, I looked over the email again, promptly deleting it. I headed to my room after powering the monitor off, leaving it completely untouched until the next time I decided to waste money. In my glamified-room, I changed into a hoodie and PJ pants, while I watched Tiktoks. Eventually I fell asleep, but thinking about the picture again, woke me up sometime in the middle of the night.

...

In a cold-sweat, I jolted awake, sitting it up on the bed. If the image is freaking me out this much, I should probably tell someone ASAP, right? I looked at my phone, the time was 12:05. I probably should just wait until morning, no one's gonna be awake. Yet there's no way I could sleep like this. I suppose it wouldn't hurt me just to watch a few more Tiktoks until morning... That's what I was about to do when I heard something downstairs crash.
