In an apartment, there is a cordless home phone hanging over a dresser. It is dark inside and the lights are on.
"You have two unheard messages. First message:", the answering machine says out loud.
"Linds? Hey, it's Tyler. Uh, again." Tyler says in the voicemail. "I was thinking about you. I saw this rock today that reminded me of you - it was like, a really pretty rock. It's been awhile since we talked. I don't know if you want me to stop calling you or something. I don't know if you want me to stop calling you or something. I hope you don't want me to stop calling cause I really miss you and I don't know what else I would do on my lunch break. I always tell people I gotta call my girl." He begins to change the subject.
"Did you watch The Bachelor last night? I like, wrote down talking points, but… I'll save them for a time that you're free. I gotta get back to ork now. Uh, bye! This is Tyler, by the way. I think I already said that."
"Next message:", the answering machine says. As the next message plays out loud, it is pitch black in the apartment, and there is no furniture in sight.
"Lindsay! It's Paula. Where are you?" She says in the voice mail. "I need you to pick up, okay? Because mom wanted to file a missing person report days ago, and I told her to wait because I knew you'd turn up! If you don't call me soon, I'll never ever ever forgive myself! Lindsay, I'm scared!"
