Room Full of Birds

Then the person on the line speaks. I know about you, it says in a deep, calm voice. Jovena asks again who this is. A pause, then the voice says: there’s evil in your soul. Evil. And even when that door behind you closes, another one opens. Jovena thinks she recognizes the voice, but no name or face comes to mind. She tells the person she will call the police. Ignoring this, the person says: there is that door, and behind that door, there is a room full of birds. That’s where I’ll be waiting. Click. A moment later she dials *69, but the caller’s identity can not be retrieved.
