The Call

(Intro)

(Phase 1: The Isolation)(Music: Total silence, then the heavy, low vibration of a phone on wood. A distant piano note strikes.)

(Vocal: Spoken softly, almost entirely dry, right in the listener's ear)

It always starts the same way.

A vibration in the dark.

A habit I can't seem to break.

(Phase 2: The Digital Distortion)(Music: The phone ringtone glitches out. A deep sub-bass drone rolls in like a dark wave.)

(Vocal: Transitioning into a heavily reverberated, ethereal whisper)

Your name on the glass.

The cold, blue light flooding the room.

I know I shouldn't look...

But the silence is too loud tonight.

(Phase 3: The Cinematic Swell)(Music: Ticking clock FX speeds up. Cinematic strings swell to an intense emotional peak.)

(Vocal: Distorted, layered with a pitch-shifted lower octave to sound like an internal echo)

How many times will I let you pull me under?

How many nights will I waste on a ghost?

Answer me...

(Phase 4: The Transition)

(Music: The strings and bass abruptly vanish on a sharp cut. Only a beautiful, crystalline synth pluck echoes out.)

(Vocal: Rehearsed, fading backwards into the delay mix)

...answer me.

(Sound FX: The sharp "swipe to unlock" digital sound effect)
