The Killer
Dark Wishes
Sarah
Me, what’s up? Can’t sleep.
Lucas
Same here, bad dreams lately.
Mike
Weird. I got a random message earlier, said something like “You have three wishes left. Use them wisely.” Thought it was spam, but it came from a real number.
Sarah
Wait, what? From a real number? That’s creepy.
Mike
It said “Mr. Aladdin”. No name, just that. I deleted it, but now I’m wondering if I should have checked it out.
Sarah
Mr. Aladdin? Like the genie?
Lucas
Haha, you’re going to get your three wishes, man. Be careful what you wish for.
Mike
Yeah, right. Just felt off. Got that gut feeling, you know?
Sarah
Probably just a prank. But still…
Lucas
Don’t think too much about it, bro. I’ll bet it’s some bot messing around.
Mike
Hold on… I just got another text. Same number. It says, “Your time is running out.”
Sarah
Okay, now that’s not funny.
Lucas
Did you reply to the first one?
Mike
No, didn’t even touch it. Just deleted it.
Sarah
Maybe block the number?
Mike
I’ll try. Hold up… my phone won’t let me block it. What the hell?
Lucas
Dude, you’re freaking me out. This has to be some hacker or something.
Sarah
Mike, this is starting to sound really bad. Maybe report it?
Mike
Yeah, I’m thinking that too. Wait—another text just came in.
Mike
It says, “Wish wisely, or someone else will pay the price.”
Sarah
Mike, this is serious. You need to tell someone.
Lucas
Don’t respond to it!
Mike
It’s too late… I accidentally opened it. My phone just froze.
Sarah
Mike! What’s happening?
Lucas
Mike, get out of there! Call the police if you can.
Mike
My phone unfroze. But now my screen just shows this black lamp icon. No other buttons work.
Sarah
This is like some cursed movie plot. Get rid of the phone!
Lucas
Smash it, bro. Better safe than sorry.
Mike
I tried turning it off, but nothing’s working. It just…
Mike
…Wait. I think someone’s outside my window.
Sarah
What?? Mike, stay away from the window!!
Lucas
You sure it’s not your mind playing tricks?
Mike
No. There’s a shadow. I can see someone. They’re standing still.
Sarah
Mike, lock your doors and hide!
Lucas
Is it the person texting you?
Mike
I don’t know. I’m not taking any chances. I’m locking everything.
Lucas
Dude, we’re here with you. Don’t do anything risky.
Mike
The shadow’s gone. Maybe they left.
Sarah
Are you sure? Check your cameras if you have any.
Lucas
Or just stay put. No need to play hero.
Mike
Wait… a new text. “One wish made, two remain.”
Sarah
What?? What did you wish for?!
Lucas
Did you think of anything earlier, even by accident?
Mike
I don’t remember. Maybe I wished for them to go away when I saw the shadow?
Sarah
That counts?? This is insane.
Lucas
Mike, don’t think about anything else. Just stay calm.
Mike
I think I need to leave. This place feels wrong now.
Sarah
Be careful. If you leave, stay in public. Don’t be alone.
Lucas
Agreed. Strength in numbers, man.
Mike
I’m heading out. I’ll message once I’m in the car.
Mike
Guys… there’s someone in my back seat.
Sarah
MIKE, GET OUT OF THE CAR!!!
Mr. Aladdin
[Unknown Number]: “Two wishes remain. Shall we begin again?”
