the phone rang at 12:30 a.m., two hours after the girl had went to bed and fallen asleep. flustered, the girl woke up to the sharp ringing and grabbed the phone to see who it was that would call her so late at night. "caller ID blocked" was all the information the phone would give her. quickly, to shut the phone up, the girl answered it. "hello?" she said in a groggy voice. on the other end of the line, she heard what sounded like a middle aged southern black woman explaiming "precious? precious?!?" startled, the girl hung up the phone. lying back down, she remembered the same caller ID blocked caller, calling her at 1:30am a few weeks earlier. the phone rang again, and the girl reached up and put it on silent, so she wouldnt have to hear it anymore.

the rest of the night was followed with nightmares and hardly any sleep. the caller didnt leave me a message. i have n idea who it could have been. i might have been making up the whole southern black woman accent thing as a result of watching two john grisham movies in a row, but i swear whoever was on the other end of the phone line was saying "precious? precious?!?" it was really weird... sort of freaky...
