Day 2,109

The phone died with a sharp electrical crack that sent a jolt through his arm and sent the phone hurtling down several flights of concrete stairs. He raced after it, trying to shake some semblance of feeling back into his arm and hoping it hadn't fallen past the lowest floor that was sealed off for all but maintenance.

As luck, both good and bad, would have it the phone had fallen past the lowest floor but just within eyesight. The normally locked wire fence door was wide open. He wanted to be suspicious but he wanted to get his phone and head back even more.

Unseen eyes locked onto him as soon as his foot crossed the threshold and the shadows began to giggle. Not that he noticed,not that he heard anything more than his own slightly faster than normal breath and not that he saw more than his phone edging into arm's reach.

He held his breath as he leant forward to grab it, the world seeming to hold its breath as well until he brought the screen up to his face, expecting to see it cracked and broken. Surprisingly it was perfectly fine, whole and undamaged and something moved just behind him.

As he tilted the screen to see behind him, thousands of faces stared back.
