Capítulo 67: 043 Scary Phone Call

Elaine set down her empty glass of milk and licked the corners of her mouth, not bothering to reach for the light, but instead tucking her legs in and pulling the covers over her, ready to just go straight to sleep.

But then quickly reacted to the fact that it wasn't as if the phone hadn't been ringing before.
