She called again. She’s creeping us out. Why now?
“I forgive you, daddy. I’m so sorry. Why can’t we be a family like before? I’m so lonely.”
It’s been so long. So much time. I’ll admit it, we’re freakin’ scared.
How did she manage to find us? How did she get our number?
The last time we were together she was having one of her frequent temper tantrums. She was demonic, possessed, she howled like a banshee…until I shut her mouth for good. We’ve changed our address three times since I hid her corpse in the woods 15 years ago.

The inspiration for this story came from Screencraft’s “101 Terrifying Horror Story Prompts” website page.
“A girl goes missing. Fifteen years later her parents get a call from her older self. But they listen in fear because they killed their daughter that dark night years ago.”
