I snuck toward the front door. Grabbing the door handle, I turned it carefully while paying close attention. I didn't hear any sounds. Peering my head inside, I saw the house was dark. I stepped one foot in the house. I called out, "Mom," but nobody answered. I turned the lights on and looked around again. The time was past nine. There was no way the house would be empty. "Mom," I called out one more time but there was only silence.

It was true that I was home later than usual. Normally I would come home to help my mom as soon as school ended, but just this once I wanted to go out with my friends. So I ended up coming home late without telling them. But no one was home. Feeling weirdly chilly, I held my arms with my palms and stood in the dark living room.

Suddenly, a phone started ringing. The chill sunk in. The phone was going off, but for some reason I got the weird feeling that I shouldn't answer it. A feeling that if I answered, everything would change and I won't be able to come back as the person I am now. But the phone kept ringing and I ended up walking towards it to stand in front of it. And then I picked up the receiver.
