- 0:01Speaker 1: It was a Thursday evening when I took the last
- 0:04Speaker 1: delivery of my shift. The workload was a lot, since
- 0:07Speaker 1: another delivery guy simply stopped picking up calls and stopped
- 0:11Speaker 1: showing up to work for a week, so the rest
- 0:14Speaker 1: of us were working over time. The address which we
- 0:17Speaker 1: were given led to a house on the outskirts of town,
- 0:20Speaker 1: a place so secluded and dilapidated it seemed to devour
- 0:24Speaker 1: the dying light. My name is Jake, and this was
- 0:28Speaker 1: the night my understanding of reality was shattered. The order
- 0:33Speaker 1: was strange from the start. One large pizza, no specific toppings,
- 0:37Speaker 1: pay in cash upon delivery, and the note added leave
- 0:41Speaker 1: on the dining table. Curious, but I've seen stranger requests
- 0:45Speaker 1: in this job. As my bike crunched up the gravel driveway,
- 0:49Speaker 1: I got a strange vibe from the place. This has
- 0:52Speaker 1: to be a mistake, I muttered, checking the GPS again,
- 0:56Speaker 1: but the coordinates were precise. The air grew colder. As
- 1:00Speaker 1: I approached the front door, a pizza box in hand.
- 1:04Speaker 1: I knocked, half hoping no one would answer. Silence greeted me,
- 1:08Speaker 1: so I turned the knob, finding it strangely unlocked. Hello.
- 1:13Speaker 1: My voice felt absorbed by the darkness within pizza delivery,
- 1:19Speaker 1: no response. The interior was shrouded in shadows, dust, motes
- 1:23Speaker 1: dancing in the air, boarded up windows, broken frames, with
- 1:27Speaker 1: strange landscape art. I found the dining room by intuition
- 1:32Speaker 1: more than sight, my footsteps echoing too loudly on the
- 1:35Speaker 1: wooden floor. The table was there, as the note instructed,
- 1:40Speaker 1: but it wasn't empty. A set of fine, dusty utensils
- 1:44Speaker 1: lay in wait. Even the entire table was covered in
- 1:47Speaker 1: a thick blanket of dust. But to my shock, there
- 1:51Speaker 1: was a clean square shape, exactly like the pizza delivery box.
- 1:56Speaker 1: I placed the box down. This is too weird. I
- 1:59Speaker 1: set up aloud, deciding to leave. That's when I heard it,
- 2:04Speaker 1: the soft sound of a chair scraping against the floor
- 2:07Speaker 1: behind me. I whipped around, but there was nothing. My
- 2:11Speaker 1: heart raised, but as I turned to leave, I froze.
- 2:15Speaker 1: I realized that the portraits on the wall had changed.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Where there had been landscapes and abstracts before, now there
- 2:22Speaker 1: were people smiling, but with eyes too hollow too knowing
- 2:28Speaker 1: panic set in. Then I rushed to the door, but
- 2:31Speaker 1: it wouldn't budge. This isn't happening. I gasped, my breath
- 2:36Speaker 1: fogging in the air that it turned inexplicably cold. I
- 2:40Speaker 1: turned back to the room, and that's when the whispers started,
- 2:44Speaker 1: voices overlapping, coming from nowhere and everywhere, and then a
- 2:49Speaker 1: woman's whisper into my right ear.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Must be finished.
- 2:54Speaker 1: I tried to cover my ears, but the sound was
- 2:57Speaker 1: inside my head. The temperature dropped suddenly, my exhalations of
- 3:02Speaker 1: visible vapor in the beam of my flashlight. Then the
- 3:06Speaker 1: laughter began, a child's laugh, innocent if not for the
- 3:10Speaker 1: malevolence behind it. Shadows danced along the walls, shapes that
- 3:15Speaker 1: were human but not quite. I fell backward, my back
- 3:20Speaker 1: hitting the cold wood of the dining table. I kid
- 3:23Speaker 1: you not. The pizza box was open. Inside there wasn't
- 3:28Speaker 1: a pizza, but a grotesque replica made of what looked
- 3:31Speaker 1: like flesh. I gagged, the smell hitting me, a stench
- 3:36Speaker 1: of decay and something far worse. Please just let me go,
- 3:42Speaker 1: I found myself, begging to whom or what I didn't know.
- 3:47Speaker 1: The woman's whispers grew louder, the child's laughter more insistent.
- 3:52Speaker 1: The room suddenly shook, and one portrait fell down, an
- 3:56Speaker 1: old man with no eyes a tall woman with no eyes,
- 4:00Speaker 1: and a little girl no eyes. The temperature suddenly normalized,
- 4:05Speaker 1: the shadows receded, and the laughter faded into the ether.
- 4:09Speaker 1: I was alone, or so I thought, until I turned
- 4:13Speaker 1: to see a figure standing at the threshold of the
- 4:16Speaker 1: dining room, a child no older than seven, her eyes
- 4:20Speaker 1: empty voids in the dim light.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Are you going to join us for dinner?
- 4:25Speaker 1: She asked, her voice a chilling mix of innocence and
- 4:29Speaker 1: something darker. I couldn't speak, couldn't move. The girl's eyes,
- 4:34Speaker 1: voids that seemed to pull at my soul, held me captive.
- 4:39Speaker 1: I can't I have to leave, but you are a guest,
- 4:44Speaker 1: she said, tilting her head in a three point sixty
- 4:46Speaker 1: and revealing the same face on what should have been
- 4:49Speaker 1: the back of her head.
- 4:51Speaker 2: And the meal isn't finished yet.
- 4:53Speaker 1: As she spoke, the air around us grew thick, oppressive,
- 4:57Speaker 1: as if her words were woven from the very darkness
- 5:00Speaker 1: that filled the house. I mustered all the courage I
- 5:03Speaker 1: could find. I don't belong here, I declared, though my
- 5:07Speaker 1: voice betrayed my terror. The girl simply smiled a gesture
- 5:13Speaker 1: devoid of warmth.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Nobody dies until they do, she.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Replied cryptically, before fading into the shadows, leaving me in
- 5:21Speaker 1: trembling solitude. My heart pounded against my rib cage as
- 5:26Speaker 1: I scanned the room for any sign of escape. The
- 5:29Speaker 1: portraits on the walls now appeared to watch me, their
- 5:32Speaker 1: eyes following my every move with silent accusation. I couldn't
- 5:36Speaker 1: shake the feeling of being manipulated. Scared, I hurled myself
- 5:41Speaker 1: at the window, but instead of it shattering, it was
- 5:44Speaker 1: like I had jumped at a wall, hurting my shoulder.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Panic clawed at my throat as I realized that I
- 5:50Speaker 1: was a rat and a trap, a plaything for forces
- 5:54Speaker 1: beyond my understanding. That's when the house began to truly
- 5:58Speaker 1: reveal its horrors. Beneath me started vibrating. The loud shrieking
- 6:03Speaker 1: of a woman suddenly echoed everywhere around the house and
- 6:07Speaker 1: behind the child, I finally saw a dark figure, a
- 6:11Speaker 1: fat man in a bloody night robe, sitting in silence
- 6:15Speaker 1: and looking at me, except he had no eyes, just blackness.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Are you going to join us for dinner?
- 6:24Speaker 1: The child spoke again. I was beyond terrified, so I
- 6:28Speaker 1: just gave in. I slowly walked up to the table,
- 6:31Speaker 1: picked up a piece of flesh and closed my eyes
- 6:34Speaker 1: as I brought it to my mouth. I had submitted.
- 6:38Speaker 1: I took the bite and suddenly felt a familiar taste
- 6:41Speaker 1: of bread. I opened my eyes to find myself back
- 6:44Speaker 1: in an empty, dusty, dilapidated room. The strange, eyeless spirits
- 6:49Speaker 1: were gone, the shrieking of a woman was gone, and
- 6:53Speaker 1: I just found myself eating a slice of pizza which
- 6:56Speaker 1: had been ordered, surrounded by total silence. I could just
- 7:00Speaker 1: see my own reflection in the mirror, with tears flowing
- 7:03Speaker 1: down my eyes. In the midst of all of this,
- 7:06Speaker 1: a new sound pierced the air, a phone ringing, its
- 7:10Speaker 1: tone discordant and jarring. My phone with hands trembling so
- 7:15Speaker 1: violently I could barely grasp it, I answered, Hello, Jake,
- 7:21Speaker 1: it's me, came the reply, a voice I recognized as
- 7:25Speaker 1: my manager's from the pizza place. What's taking so long?
- 7:28Speaker 1: You've been out for two hours? Hours? It couldn't be.
- 7:33Speaker 1: It felt like only minutes had passed since I'd entered
- 7:35Speaker 1: the house. I'm trapped, I gasped, Please, you have to
- 7:40Speaker 1: help me. The house on but the address clear in
- 7:43Speaker 1: my mind moments before now eluded me. The house on on.
- 7:49Speaker 1: I couldn't remember it and started crying, Jake, calm down,
- 7:54Speaker 1: what house? You're not making any sense. I glanced around,
- 7:58Speaker 1: desperate for something to anchor me to reality. That's when
- 8:02Speaker 1: I noticed it. The pizza box lying open on the table,
- 8:07Speaker 1: but the entire pizza was gone eaten. Jake, listen to me,
- 8:13Speaker 1: Why is it showing an order from you and the system?
- 8:17Speaker 1: What an order placed by you? From your number? I
- 8:22Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. I switched to the pizza app immediately
- 8:25Speaker 1: and saw the details for this order. I dropped the
- 8:28Speaker 1: phone and shock my mind reeling as I realized that
- 8:32Speaker 1: the order was placed under my name. I quickly picked
- 8:36Speaker 1: up the phone and turned around to see the door
- 8:38Speaker 1: wide open. I ran from that house like my life
- 8:42Speaker 1: depended on it. I finally got in touch with the
- 8:44Speaker 1: other delivery guy who had stopped coming, and learned that
- 8:48Speaker 1: he had ended up at the house exactly like me,
- 8:51Speaker 1: and he experienced a similar haunting, which all died down
- 8:56Speaker 1: when he finally took a bite out of the pizza
- 8:59Speaker 1: which he was delivered. The pizza place quickly updated the
- 9:02Speaker 1: systems to not take orders from that address, and no
- 9:06Speaker 1: delivery guy ever went to that house again. The evening
- 9:12Speaker 1: air was brisk, carrying the sound of laughter and music
- 9:16Speaker 1: from our sorority house. It was supposed to be a
- 9:19Speaker 1: night of freedom, of celebration, but as the events unfolded,
- 9:24Speaker 1: it morphed into a saga of terror that would forever
- 9:27Speaker 1: haunt my memories. It started with a joke, a cruel,
- 9:31Speaker 1: thoughtless prank we played on the pizza delivery guy. We'd
- 9:34Speaker 1: seen him before, his awkward shuffles and the way he
- 9:38Speaker 1: struggled to meet anyone's gaze. His name was Eric, a
- 9:41Speaker 1: fact we knew because someone had dared to ask once,
- 9:45Speaker 1: hoping to coax a smile from him. That night, under
- 9:48Speaker 1: the influence of a few jaeger bombs, some bong hits,
- 9:52Speaker 1: and the heady thrill of our sisterhood, we decided to
- 9:55Speaker 1: take it further. I, being the newest member of our sorority,
- 9:59Speaker 1: was pushed into pretending to flirt with him, luring him
- 10:03Speaker 1: into believing there was a party invitation with his name
- 10:05Speaker 1: on it, while we secretly ran an install live for
- 10:08Speaker 1: the followers of our sorority page. Hey there, I spoke seductively.
- 10:15Speaker 3: We've been waiting for you. The party doesn't start until
- 10:18Speaker 3: you walk in.
- 10:20Speaker 1: Here. Here's your pizzas, he managed to speak as I
- 10:25Speaker 1: leaned closer to his face like I was about to
- 10:27Speaker 1: kiss him, and held on while my sisters laughed their
- 10:31Speaker 1: hearts out. That'll be thirty.
- 10:33Speaker 2: Dollars if I make out with you. Could you do
- 10:36Speaker 2: it for free?
- 10:38Speaker 3: It's not it's I'll make out for one minute if
- 10:42Speaker 3: you make this free.
- 10:44Speaker 1: The flush of embarrassment on his face was visible even
- 10:47Speaker 1: under the dim porch light. But it was the flicker
- 10:50Speaker 1: in his eyes, a spark of something dark and unrecognizable
- 10:53Speaker 1: that should have warned us. How about something a little
- 10:56Speaker 1: bit more and you get free pizzas for the next
- 10:59Speaker 1: three parties. I was shook a bit as his shy,
- 11:02Speaker 1: nerdy demeanor suddenly gave way to a confident, creepy one.
- 11:06Speaker 1: My friend leaned into my ear to tell me that
- 11:09Speaker 1: over three thousand people had joined our live We had
- 11:13Speaker 1: to push it further.
- 11:14Speaker 2: What do you mean by a little bit more?
- 11:16Speaker 1: Well, we are all adults here, you know.
- 11:20Speaker 2: Hmmm, free pizzas for three parties? Yes, how about five?
- 11:26Speaker 1: Three?
- 11:27Speaker 2: Make it five and I'll go further.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Three.
- 11:31Speaker 3: Make it five and my gorgeous friend will join three.
- 11:36Speaker 1: Make it five and stop, he yelled, before taking his
- 11:39Speaker 1: free hand and choking me, while staring into my eyes
- 11:42Speaker 1: with his red mad ones. You don't talk to me
- 11:45Speaker 1: like that. It was at this point that my sisters
- 11:49Speaker 1: intervened and threatened him with the Instagram Live. Surprisingly, he
- 11:53Speaker 1: didn't just run away, but retreat it while laughing like
- 11:57Speaker 1: a maniac, still looking at us all with venge and
- 12:00Speaker 1: his eyes. We weren't prepared for what was to transpire next.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Eric returned some time later under the guise of night.
- 12:09Speaker 1: We were all sloshed at this point when the lights
- 12:12Speaker 1: suddenly went off. It wasn't long before we noticed that
- 12:15Speaker 1: a lot of girls couldn't find their phones. Panic set in.
- 12:20Speaker 1: But it was the silence that followed, a quiet so
- 12:23Speaker 1: profound it screamed that truly unsettled us. And then came
- 12:28Speaker 1: the knocking, systematic, deliberate. I encountered him in the living room,
- 12:34Speaker 1: where the moonlight cast his shadow across the floor, elongating
- 12:38Speaker 1: it into something monstrous. His voice when he spoke was
- 12:42Speaker 1: eerily calm, a stark contrast to the chaos he had unleashed.
- 12:47Speaker 1: You made me the center of your game, he said,
- 12:50Speaker 1: tilting his head, studying me as if I was an
- 12:53Speaker 1: interesting specimen, now you know the center of mine. Suddenly
- 12:58Speaker 1: there was a loud screen from the basement. I looked
- 13:01Speaker 1: for just a second, but in that time Eric was gone.
- 13:05Speaker 1: My bestie Jennifer, who was laughing the loudest during our prank,
- 13:08Speaker 1: was found in the basement, her lips cut from ear
- 13:11Speaker 1: to ear, her eyes gouged out and replaced by the
- 13:15Speaker 1: pepperoni toppings from a pizza. Before we could even process
- 13:19Speaker 1: what it transpired, we heard screams from the bathroom on
- 13:23Speaker 1: the second floor. Lisa and Marisa, twin sisters, were lying
- 13:27Speaker 1: with wet clothes in the bathtub, squeezed together, drowning in
- 13:31Speaker 1: their own pool of blood, which dripped from their slashed necks,
- 13:35Speaker 1: and one slice of pizza stuck between their dead mouths.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Eric's presence became more brazen, his encounters with us more frequent.
- 13:44Speaker 1: He delighted in our fear, drawing it out with the
- 13:47Speaker 1: precision of a maestra. His anger was a tangible thing,
- 13:51Speaker 1: flaring at the slightest provocation. His mood swings erratic and dangerous.
- 13:56Speaker 1: We started running, but the doors were locked, our phones
- 13:59Speaker 1: were missing, and the drinks had rendered most of us incapacitated.
- 14:05Speaker 1: You think you can outsmart me, he challenged, cornering me
- 14:08Speaker 1: in the kitchen. His breath was hot against my face,
- 14:12Speaker 1: his eyes wild. I'll take care of your friends first.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Let the terror marinate slowly, and just when you will
- 14:19Speaker 1: beg me to kill you fast, I will suffocate you slowly.
- 14:24Speaker 1: I realized then his need for control, for acknowledgment, was
- 14:28Speaker 1: his weakness. It was a dangerous game, engaging with a psychopath,
- 14:33Speaker 1: but I had no choice. I needed to keep him talking,
- 14:36Speaker 1: keep him focused on me somehow.
- 14:39Speaker 2: Eric, you've already won. We're scared, aren't we isn't that
- 14:43Speaker 2: what you wanted?
- 14:44Speaker 1: Oh it's only just begun. His threat hung between us,
- 14:49Speaker 1: a promise of horrors yet to come. Eric's game was
- 14:53Speaker 1: one of psychological warfare. Each moved destined to break us further,
- 14:58Speaker 1: to tear us from any semblance of hope. As the
- 15:02Speaker 1: night wore on, the rules of his twisted game became clear.
- 15:05Speaker 1: He wanted us isolated, afraid, and utterly at his mercy.
- 15:10Speaker 1: He would appear, sometimes as a whisper of movement in
- 15:13Speaker 1: the darkness, other times as a full, terrifying presence. His
- 15:17Speaker 1: manic laughter was a chilling reminder of the power he
- 15:20Speaker 1: held over us. The climax of the night came with
- 15:24Speaker 1: a chilling clarity. We had found six dead bodies and
- 15:27Speaker 1: a span of a few minutes, and were scarred for life.
- 15:30Speaker 1: But Eric had grown over confident, his interactions with me
- 15:34Speaker 1: longer more taunting. It was during one such encounter that
- 15:38Speaker 1: I saw my chance. He had backed me into a
- 15:41Speaker 1: corner of the living room, the bloodied knife in his hand,
- 15:44Speaker 1: catching the moonlight and his sinister glint. You see, Carly,
- 15:49Speaker 1: what happens when you mess with the wrong guy. I'll
- 15:52Speaker 1: just put three more of your friends to sleep and
- 15:54Speaker 1: then come for you, unless you want to give up
- 15:57Speaker 1: right now. His attention was so focused on me, on
- 16:01Speaker 1: the fear he expected to see, that he didn't notice
- 16:04Speaker 1: the heavy book end I had silently grasped from the
- 16:07Speaker 1: shelf behind me. With the surge of adrenaline, I swung
- 16:11Speaker 1: it with all my might, connecting with the side of
- 16:13Speaker 1: his head. The impact sent him staggering, the knife clattering
- 16:17Speaker 1: to the ground. It was the opening I needed. I
- 16:20Speaker 1: lunged for the knife, my fingers wrapping around the handle,
- 16:24Speaker 1: just as he recovered his balance. But I didn't hesitate,
- 16:27Speaker 1: didn't give him a chance to regain control. With a
- 16:30Speaker 1: cry that was part fear, part rage, I swung the knife,
- 16:34Speaker 1: catching him off guard. The blade made contact and he fell,
- 16:39Speaker 1: a look of shock etched into his features. The remaining girls,
- 16:43Speaker 1: drawn by the noise, found me standing over Eric, the
- 16:46Speaker 1: knife in my hand and determination in my heart. Together
- 16:50Speaker 1: we bound his hands and feet, a grim solidarity in
- 16:53Speaker 1: our actions. We pulled out his own phone and called
- 16:57Speaker 1: the police while kicking his unconscious, bleeding body. When the
- 17:01Speaker 1: authorities arrived, they found us huddled together. Eric was taken away.
- 17:06Speaker 1: The aftermath was a whirlwind of questions and flashbulbs. Our
- 17:10Speaker 1: sorority house a scene of interest in horror. But amid
- 17:14Speaker 1: the chaos, there was a sense of closure. We had survived,
- 17:18Speaker 1: not just that night, but the darkness that had threatened
- 17:21Speaker 1: to consume us.
