It was Jack. He was standing in front of the stove, stirring something as the coffee machine brewed coffee on the counter behind him. “Hey! Good morning!” He said when he saw me. “Hi.” I replied, nervous. I hadn’t seen him in person before, but he looked exactly like his pictures online. “Scrambled eggs?” He asked, motioning to the pan with a wooden spoon. “Yeah, thanks!” I replied, walking over to take the plate from him. I ate my breakfast and drank some coffee in silence. “So how was it?” He asked. “It was okay. Nothing super freaky happened.” I replied. “Cool!” He replied. There was an awkwardness in the room. “I think I’m gonna go now. I have class…” I trailed off. I didn't. But I really wanted to get out of there. “Oh, no! Yeah, sure! I’ll talk to you some other time.” He replied. I grabbed my stuff, and he walked me to my car. I could see him standing in the driveway, staring at me as I left. When I got home, I unpacked all my stuff and noticed that I still had the list with me. I sat on my bed and read it again. I felt my body tense up as I realized that I had forgotten something. Turn the tv on and let it play on static through the night. DO NOT FORGET TO DO THIS. Turn the tv on and let it play on static through the night. DO NOT FORGET TO DO THIS. DO NOT FORGET TO DO THIS. I stared at the words on the page until they lost meaning. Beside me, my phone buzzed, snapping me back to reality. It was the $1000 payment. I looked at my phone and then back at the list. Maybe it wasn’t an important step? As I was thinking this over, a text from Jack came it. I’m not in town right now, I should be back next week, so you’re free from running any more errands for me until then! Just sent the payment, go do something fun ;) I stared at the message and read it again. And again. And once more for good measure. I’m not in town right now. I thought back to this morning, and how Jack was in his house. How he gave me breakfast. I’m not in town right now. Within minutes, a new text came in this time from a number that I didn’t recognize. Did you forget to do something? ;) The text was followed by a picture of Jack - or, whoever this version of Jack was- standing in front of the tv. I didn’t respond. Next came another picture, this one was of the outside of my house. It was followed by another text. Watch out.
