Lullaby in the Woods

A secluded cottage. A ringing phone. A voice that knows your name.

When Sarah escapes to a remote cabin deep in the woods, she expects peace—a break from the noise of the world, a chance to be alone. But something is wrong here. The silence feels unnatural. The shadows stretch too far. And then the phone rings.

At first, she thinks it’s a wrong number. A strange, childlike voice sings a nursery rhyme before the line goes dead. But the calls keep coming. The voice begins to mock her. It laughs when she’s afraid. It whispers from just outside her window. It knows exactly where she is.

Sarah locks the doors, checks the windows, searches for help—but the nearest town is miles away, and the only road out is useless when her car won’t start. Trapped and isolated, she realizes this is no random stalker. This is something darker. Something patient. Something that has been waiting for her.

As the night stretches on, the calls grow more frantic, the singing more distorted, and the presence outside moves closer. And then, the voice is no longer on the phone. It’s inside the house.

She thought she came here to escape.

But she was brought here for a reason.

And the game has only just begun.
