You Have Reached Sam
A Campus Thriller
Chapter One: The Voicemail
The first thing I noticed was the rain.
A steady downpour drummed against my window, making the world outside look blurred and distorted. I had just settled into bed when my phone buzzed. At first, I ignored it, thinking it was one of those spam messages. But when it rang again—insistently—I picked it up, squinting at the screen.
Sam.
I frowned. It was past midnight. Sam never called this late.
I swiped to answer, pressing the phone to my ear.
"Sam?"
Silence.
The kind of silence that wasn’t just quiet—but wrong. My stomach twisted. I could hear something faint in the background—static, maybe the wind—but no voice.
And then, just as I was about to hang up, a robotic voice played.
"You have reached Sam. If you’re hearing this, it’s already too late."
A chill ran down my spine.
"Sam?" I tried again, my voice a whisper. But the line was dead.
I stared at my phone, my heart hammering. What the hell was that?
Maybe it was a prank. Maybe Sam was drunk. Maybe—
My phone buzzed again. A voicemail.
Hands shaking, I tapped on it.
"You have reached Sam. If you’re hearing this, it’s already too late."
The same eerie message. The same distorted, soulless voice.
I swallowed hard, suddenly wide awake. This wasn’t a joke. Something was wrong.
I shot a text.
Me: Sam, what the hell was that? Are you okay?
No response.
I tried calling her back. Straight to voicemail.
A heavy feeling settled in my chest. Sam wasn’t the type to play games. If she had sent that message, it meant something.
I threw off my blanket and got up, my brain racing. Maybe I was overreacting. Maybe she had lost her phone, and some i***t was messing with me.
But deep down, I knew.
Something had happened to Sam.
And if I didn’t find out what, I might be next.
