ANTIQUE PHONE
You’ve seen these old-style phones in movies before, but never in person. Like most of the house, this piece is surprisingly free of dust or age. In fact, it seems to be in near-pristine condition. Your gaze follows the phone’s cord up to a box on the wall. That must be what made noise whenever a call would come in, rather than the phone itself. You glance back down at the device, and even start to reach for it, when the bells on the box ring! Your heart is in your throat as your hand hovers over the earpiece.
