7 Days

Danny never seemed to have any time. He as always busy with cruel pranks on helpless kids at school, getting into trouble while high with his friends, or routine scream matches against his family because they were always "screwing up his life." His girlfriend, Anna, had even told him he had no time for anything important anymore, even her.

When Danny finally found time for Anna, she convinced him to watch a movie with her. This seemed like a waste of a perfectly good hour that he could be spending with his buddies, but he had planned on ditching her halfway through the movie anyhow. All seemed well until Anna had hit the play button. For a reason he didn't understand, she immediately turned away from the screen and hid her face.

"What's wrong now?" Danny asked her with annoyance. She only shook her head and pointed at the TV with a trembling finger.

When he looked at the screen, Danny had a piercing feeling in his stomach that watching this was a mistake. A scene with a ladder against a single wall, another with an abnormally large centipede crawling out from beneath a table, horse corpses rotting on the shore, ghostly figures disappearing in mirrors, and water hued with blood all flashed before his eyes; ending with a chilling scene of a well in a clearing of trees. Static. Then the phone rang. Anna refused to pick it up and told Danny to answer it. He walked over to the cordless phone sitting on the table across the room and slowly put the phone to his ear. He was still trying to comprehend what was happening when a childlike whisper said, "seven days." The voice sent shivers up and down Danny's spine like an electric shock. The phone fell out of his sweaty grasp and onto the floor. Neither of them noticed that brackish well water was seeping out of the earpiece.

Without a single thought about his girlfriend, Danny raced out of the house. This must be some kind of sick prank, Danny thought. Within five minutes of running down the street, he had quickly brushed the incident away and left it behind him. When he arrived at his parent's apartment, all was normal once again… Until he looked up and stopped in his tracks. In the lobby of the apartment complex, a ladder was propped up against the wall in the same position, he noticed, as it was in the movie. Sign number one.
