The Next
Switching houses again and again has made Annie exhausted. The stuff is scattered all around like the stars scattered in the sky. Too much work for just two soft hands. The clock struck 11, she is worried, her husband isn't home yet. She texts him.

"Where are you? I am worried"

" Too much work at the office, be home ASAP. Did you find your ring?"

"No, still looking "

"I have to go. Be home soon , honey "

"Okay... Waiting for you..."

Annie sits down on the chair , starts eating a banana and scrolls reels.
A notification pops up. Putting her bana on the table, she clicks on it. A photo from an unknown number. She downloads it. It was a photo of her clock , time 11:10. She immediately looks towards the clock. It's still 30 seconds and then the clock strucks 11:10. Annie replies. "Who is This?"

Another photo comes , a doll on her bed.
She quickly goes to her bedroom to check, there was no doll. Then she checks the carton of her stuff and finds the doll. She smiles looking at the doll and throws it away. As she was about to leave , she noticed that the doll is now on the bed. She then compares the photo and what she was seeing from where she was standing. It seemed like she took the photo.
As she was trying to process , she again gets a photo in which there is an open door of a room with the lights on. She gets scared but still goes to check. She opens the door and switches on the lights. No one was there but cartons of her stuff. As she leaves the room , she checks the photo again and then notices something. As she zooms, it turned out to be a hand with blue fingernails. She had blue fingernails. She texts the number furiously.

"What the hell is going on?
Is this a prank"

She gets a photo as a reply, her ring's photo. Then a photo of her table misplaced. She goes to check in the other room and glides the table. She finds her ring and gets filled with joy. Her phone clicks with notification. As she was reaching towards it, she steps on the banana which fell down from the table when she glided it. She took fell. Getting up, she checks the phone and she received a photo of herself lying on the floor. She quickly blocks the number and texts her husband.

"Where are you?
I am scared"

Her husband sends her a photo of the open front door. She then goes to the front door but it was closed. She slowly opens it and steps out but no one was there. She turns around and sees a black shadow in the corridor and a body lying on the floor. She gets terrified but in the blink of an eye, it vanished. She calls her husband and hears the ring coming from inside. She convinces herself to go. She follows the sound and enters the store room. There was a big silver trunk and she opens its lid. Her heart stopped as she saw a manly figure in the white blanket. She bravely uncovers it only to find that it was a pillow. Her phone clicks again. As she checks , the message was deleted from husband's chat. She then noticed a change in her husband's profile photo. She sees that it was the photo of the same trunk with lid open . She steps backwards and compares the photo. As she put her phone down, the manly figure got up. She immediately shuts the lid off, gets out of the room and shuts the door. She then rushes to kitchen and arms herself with a knife. She then checks but the room and trunk both were empty. She then checks every room and enters the corridor to front door. The lights went off. She turns on her phone's torchlight and turns back to check the lights. But then she noticed her changed wallpaper. Blood splashed all over her face. Her heart filled with fear and she thought she is going to die. She hears some footsteps from back. Being frightened, she attacks the person but realises that it is her husband. His blood splashed on her face and he fell down to the floor. She stood in shock with his husband lying on the floor in the same way, the vision she saw earlier.
