Then I heard a man’s voice, distinct and clear:
— “Yes, wait a moment. I’m coming.”
My heart froze. No one else was supposed to be in the house. Panicked, I immediately called the police, explaining the situation. The dispatcher assured me that officers were on the way and advised me to stay calm and avoid confronting anyone.
Minutes felt like hours as I waited, my eyes fixed on the bathroom door. Finally, the doorbell rang. I let the officers in and quickly briefed them. They approached the bathroom, knocking firmly.
“Police! Is anyone in there?” one officer called.
Silence filled the room — except for the steady drip of water. The tension was unbearable as everyone waited, hoping for a safe resolution to the mysterious and unsettling situation.

Ellis did the general assignment grind at a small daily for a decade, which means he can cover a hailstorm, a weird animal sighting, and a relationship trend in the same afternoon and make all three worth reading. He likes stories with a person in them, not just facts.
