#28: A Message From Your Ex
She hadn’t thought about her ex-boyfriend in months. After a rocky breakup and his sudden passing, she had buried those emotions deep. Then, one day, while scrolling through her phone, she received a text notification—his name appeared. The message simply said, “Miss me?” Her heart stopped. His number had been deactivated, and his phone had been buried with him.
No one else could’ve sent it, and her phone records showed no message. It vanished as quickly as it appeared. Though terrifying, it also felt oddly fitting. He always had a sarcastic sense of humor, and this felt like one final prank. Whether it was a technical glitch, a spiritual joke, or something in between, it shook her. Sometimes, those we think are gone might still be lurking in the background, watching with a grin and sending ghostly texts just to mess with us.
