Speaker 1 I equals W.

Speaker 10 Hmm, careful there. Mind the threshold.
It sticks when the weather fidgets.

Speaker 10 Now,

Speaker 10 may I tempt you with something newly arrived? A modest thing, but unsettling in its modesty.

Speaker 10 Have a look. A photograph.
An honest-to-goodness film print. The kind you'd have collected at the drugstore.
Glossy from the drying rack. No name on the back.

Speaker 10 No date.

Speaker 10 And yet, it has a habit of feeling familiar to those who handle it. Do study it closely, though not for too long.
We've been told it tends to invite attention.

Speaker 10 This one's called, You Have One New Friend Request.

Speaker 10 Before we begin, I want to point out some of the customers whose names have been etched in brass on this beautiful plaque I had made above the front desk.

Speaker 10 These are some of the members of the inner circle of the antiquarium. We go by the Obsidian Covenant.
Recent initiates include Yi Yi Zhang,

Speaker 10 Rex,

Speaker 10 Nicole DeBass,

Speaker 10 Adam Hoestra,

Speaker 10 Amaya Nix,

Speaker 10 Jerry Geralds, Michael G48,

Speaker 10 and

Speaker 10 Tristan Firchell.

Speaker 10 We are ever appreciative of your devotion to the Order.

Speaker 10 Go to theObsidiancovenant.com to receive the sacrament. Now,

Speaker 10 where were we?

Speaker 10 Oh, yes.

Speaker 10 Welcome to the Antiquarium of Sinister Happenings

Speaker 10 and Odd Goings On.

Speaker 11 You have one new friend request.

Speaker 11 I don't know when Facebook introduced the feature, friend suggestions it used to be called,

Speaker 11 but now it's people you may know.

Speaker 11 A bunch of Facebook profiles suggested to you to add as friends.

Speaker 11 Usually people who have mutual friends with you or someone you've searched for in the past.

Speaker 11 What creeps me out is how accurate it is.

Speaker 11 It's clearly taking data from somewhere. Because it's suggested people to me that I've only ever interacted with in real life.
The woman that cuts my hair or the guy who does my taxes at H ⁇ R Block.

Speaker 11 Sometimes though, it really is a random person that Facebook thinks I know for some reason.

Speaker 10 That's what happened on Thursday evening.

Speaker 11 A new friend suggestion.

Speaker 11 A.R. Winters.

Speaker 11 No mutual friends, no apparent connection to me.

Speaker 11 But this one caught my eye for a few reasons.

Speaker 11 First, the photo was of poor quality.

Speaker 11 It looked like a photo from the 90s.

Speaker 11 Something that had been developed on real film and then scanned or photographed. Second, it had been taken from far away.

Speaker 11 The man, or possibly woman,

Speaker 11 was wearing dark clothing, standing against a tree so far away I couldn't make out their face.

Speaker 11 It didn't occur to me until just then.

Speaker 11 But generally, profile pictures aren't taken from that far away, unless they're traveling and showing off some landmark.

Speaker 11 But this person was just leaning against a dead tree.

Speaker 11 Out of curiosity,

Speaker 11 I clicked their profile.

Speaker 11 All their info was hidden, though.

Speaker 11 No cover picture,

Speaker 11 no other profile pictures,

Speaker 11 no about me info.

Speaker 11 The next time I loaded Facebook, he wasn't a suggested friend anymore.

Speaker 11 It was just the usual never-ending wheel of 30-something women that had a smattering of mutual friends with me.

Speaker 11 So I forgot about it for a few days.

Speaker 11 Until they popped up again.

Speaker 11 People you may know.

Speaker 11 A.R. Winters.

Speaker 11 The same photo of them leaning against the dead tree.

Speaker 10 Or

Speaker 11 was it?

Speaker 11 As I stared at the photo, I realized they were standing straight up.

Speaker 10 No longer leaning.

Speaker 10 I could have sworn.

Speaker 11 I shook my head. They were so far away.
How could I tell whether they were leaning on the tree or just standing underneath it?

Speaker 11 Later that night, I checked Facebook again.

Speaker 11 People you may know.

Speaker 11 A.R. Winters.

Speaker 11 One mutual friend.

Speaker 10 I froze.

Speaker 11 A mutual friend?

Speaker 11 The mutual friend was some girl I went to high school with.

Speaker 6 I didn't know her well.

Speaker 11 We'd been close in the eighth grade, but then she'd started hanging out with the more popular girls and we lost touch.

Speaker 11 Still Facebook friends though, because I never went through my list of 2,000 plus people and pruned some off.

Speaker 11 It didn't say he had a mutual friend with her before, so they just became Facebook friends.

Speaker 10 Like, today.

Speaker 11 This evening.

Speaker 11 Maybe they're someone from our school. Maybe they just joined Facebook for the first time now.
Or maybe they lost the password to their old account and are creating a new one.

Speaker 11 A few more days passed and I didn't see A.R. Winters show up in my feed.

Speaker 11 But then, on Saturday night,

Speaker 11 there they were.

Speaker 11 People you may know.

Speaker 11 A.R. Winters.

Speaker 11 Three mutual friends. Not one.

Speaker 10 Three.

Speaker 11 And the photo was definitely different.

Speaker 11 It was still the dead tree, the overcast sky.

Speaker 11 Everything looked exactly the same.

Speaker 11 Except the person.

Speaker 11 They weren't against the tree anymore.

Speaker 11 They'd taken a few steps closer to the photographer.

Speaker 11 They appeared to be a woman. Tall and pale.
Dressed in a flowy black shirt and long black pants.

Speaker 11 Wavy, long dark hair parted neatly on the left side.

Speaker 11 Because of the film quality, I still couldn't make out their

Speaker 10 her

Speaker 10 face.

Speaker 10 Who is she?

Speaker 11 I glanced at our mutual friends.

Speaker 11 One was a guy I had chemistry lab with in college, and the other...

Speaker 10 No.

Speaker 11 The other was our English teacher, Mrs. Flowers.
She'd been the teacher-mentor of our literature club.

Speaker 11 And she'd been dead for five years.

Speaker 11 I sat there, staring at the screen.

Speaker 11 All of it slowly sinking in.

Speaker 11 Her account can't even accept new friend requests.

Speaker 11 Why would this random person friend request her anyway?

Speaker 11 A horrible, creeping dread tugged at the back of my mind.

Speaker 11 I clicked on the other two neutral friends, Jessica Marie and Michael,

Speaker 11 scrolled down their timelines and...

Speaker 11 oh fuck.

Speaker 11 They'd also passed away.

Speaker 11 Their timelines were scattered with messages like, I miss you and...

Speaker 11 Two years since you've been here.

Speaker 11 Quick Google searches showed that Jessica Marie died in 2020 from complications with COVID and Michael had died in 2023 in a motorcycle accident.

Speaker 11 I clicked back to my feed to the friend's suggestions to AR's profile.

Speaker 11 She was standing closer.

Speaker 11 Much closer.

Speaker 11 Her face was pale, almost pure white.

Speaker 11 Like all the blood had been sucked out of it. Her eyes were dark, pupil and iris indistinguishable, and they seemed too big for her eyes.

Speaker 11 She had no eyebrows. Her long, dark hair twisted around her as if there was a terrible wind.

Speaker 10 I jumped.

Speaker 11 There was a little red one over the bell icon.

Speaker 11 A.R. Winters sent you a friend request.

Speaker 6 My hands began to shake.

Speaker 11 I stared at the two buttons.

Speaker 12 Confirm, cancel.

Speaker 11 I clicked cancel, closed out of the window, slammed the laptop shut. I sat there in the dark, panting.
Sweat covered my arms.

Speaker 10 I felt like I couldn't breathe.

Speaker 11 Calm down. It's obviously just some stupid prank.

Speaker 11 The photo's probably not even real.

Speaker 10 AI.

Speaker 11 I pushed out a breath and got up, put on my hoodie, left the apartment and went for a walk.

Speaker 11 I shoved my hands in my pockets and walked along the walking trail at the local park.

Speaker 11 My breath came out in clouds of mist.

Speaker 11 I shivered.

Speaker 11 It was almost dusk and the street lamps glowed across the road. Orange amber.

Speaker 11 Then I stopped.

Speaker 11 I'd never noticed it before.

Speaker 11 At the edge of the park, there was a big oak tree, barren of leaves now.

Speaker 10 But it looked...

Speaker 11 It looked just like the tree in A.R. Winter's photo.

Speaker 10 A million trees look like that. Stop it.

Speaker 11 As I stood there, staring, something peeked out from behind it.

Speaker 10 A pale white face, dark, flowy clothing, barely visible in the dying light. But I knew it was her.

Speaker 10 I knew.

Speaker 11 I ran back home, locked my apartment door,

Speaker 10 and opened the laptop.

Speaker 10 Went to Facebook.

Speaker 11 A.R. Winters sent you a friend request.

Speaker 6 The profile photo.

Speaker 11 Her face filled the entire photo.

Speaker 11 Right up against the screen. Like she was staring right at me.

Speaker 11 And maybe it's just the stress,

Speaker 10 but I feel sick.

Speaker 5 Really sick.

Speaker 11 I've thrown up twice in the past half hour.

Speaker 10 My stomach hurts so much,

Speaker 10 more than I ever remember it hurting before.

Speaker 10 And I can't help but think,

Speaker 10 am I next?

Speaker 10 Forgive me just a moment. Something's just come in through the back.
Related to this lot, I'm told. Or at least, bound to it in spirit.
Let me see what the porter's dragged in.

Speaker 10 We'll continue shortly.

Speaker 9 Why, hello there. You've reached the antiquarium.
If you wish to leave a message, please do so with the town and have a great day.

Speaker 11 I'm so tired.

Speaker 14 I don't want to clean my house. I don't want to

Speaker 14 work.

Speaker 14 I've called out so many times, I don't even think I have a job anymore.

Speaker 14 I don't want to bathe. I don't want to

Speaker 14 eat.

Speaker 14 I just want to sleep.

Speaker 14 This quilt,

Speaker 14 this quilt that I bought from your shop,

Speaker 14 it's so comfortable.

Speaker 14 I don't want to get out of the bed.

Speaker 14 It's a part of me now.

Speaker 14 I think it's...

Speaker 14 it's in my skin, my blood, my tissue.

Speaker 14 It's a part of me now.

Speaker 14 End of messages.

Speaker 10 Thank you for your patience. It seems LOD 101 is not a solitary affair, after all.
A second piece arrived. Unexpected, but...

Speaker 10 Fitting.

Speaker 10 A large suitcase. Scuffed.
Older than it ought to be. And if you look closely near the zipper there, hmm.

Speaker 10 A few strands of hair caught and left behind.

Speaker 10 No one has yet claimed it. No one, I suspect, ever will.

Speaker 10 Now then,

Speaker 10 shall we?

Speaker 10 The worst deaths, in my opinion, are accidental.

Speaker 10 I read last week about a mother who rolled onto her newborn and suffocated it.

Speaker 10 Every year, toddlers die from being left in hot cars.

Speaker 10 And then you hear stories of kids playing games like one boy who hid in an unplugged freezer and suffocated to death during hide-and-seek.

Speaker 10 Can you imagine?

Speaker 10 Can you imagine being the person responsible in any of these situations?

Speaker 10 To me, this is so much more terrifying than the prospect of the paranormal. I'd much rather be haunted by ghosts than by guilt over unintentionally hurting someone.

Speaker 10 My husband Wade is the opposite.

Speaker 10 He is unbothered by accidents, but petrified of horror movies about demons or vengeful ghosts. As I told him, none of those things are real, so why be scared?

Speaker 10 He counters that accidents are without malice, therefore, not as scary as murderous ghosts that might be real.

Speaker 10 I guess he has a point

Speaker 10 about the lack of malice, not about ghosts that might be real.

Speaker 10 I know they're not, because if they were,

Speaker 10 my best friend would definitely be haunting me.

Speaker 10 I guess in some ways, she is.

Speaker 10 You see, whenever I read about a prank gone wrong, I stop breathing for a moment.

Speaker 11 I'm choked by guilt.

Speaker 10 After all these years, I still don't know if it was my fault.

Speaker 10 I was never charged, and my friends insist that I need to stop blaming myself.

Speaker 10 But how can I? How can I move on not knowing if it's because of me?

Speaker 10 Rosa got into the suitcase on her own. Lakeisha and I helped her.
We were all drunk, giggling.

Speaker 10 She was supposed to surprise Bolin. She had a huge crush on him.

Speaker 6 Let me back up.

Speaker 10 Let me try to explain.

Speaker 10 We were at a party. Our friend group had been together for years and we rented out this lodge.

Speaker 10 Me, my husband Wade, who back then was just my crush, his buddies Bolin and Tucker and JB, and the girls, who were my besties, Lakeisha and Rosa and Kay.

Speaker 10 There were also some other friends who stopped by who we'd met earlier in the day while hiking. I can't remember their names anymore.
What I do remember is that we all had a lot to drink.

Speaker 10 And Rosa, she was in her flirty phase.

Speaker 10 Rosa was my best friend, but she wasn't perfect. She was like a butterfly who sips from every flower.
A real heartbreaker. Beautiful and passionate.

Speaker 10 I was a little bit jealous of the attention she had, and also kind of in awe of her.

Speaker 10 Whoever she was with fell hard, like she was the love of their life, but she never committed.

Speaker 10 She'd been on again, off-again with JB, then seduced Wade, which was kind of bitchy because she knew I had a crush on him. She even flirted with bisexuality with Kay.

Speaker 10 Now her eyes were on Bolin.

Speaker 10 I forget whose idea it was for her to hide in the suitcase. Mine or hers.

Speaker 10 All the luggage was in the basement because that's where the boys had put it when we'd arrived at the lodge.

Speaker 10 Lakeisha had said something like, Bolin's suitcase is big enough to hide a body. And that's when Rosa, or me, had the idea she'd hide in it.

Speaker 10 And Rosa decided to spice up the prank by wearing lingerie.

Speaker 10 When Bolin took the suitcase up to his room and opened it, he'd find a sexy surprise.

Speaker 11 We were stupid. Stupid.

Speaker 10 Stupid. None of us had good judgment.
Especially since we were tipsy.

Speaker 10 We We dumped out Bolan's clothes and while I snuck them upstairs and into his closet, Lakeisha helped Rosa get into the suitcase.

Speaker 10 When I came back downstairs, I heard Rosa inside whining about her hair being stuck in the zipper and about the suitcase being cold.

Speaker 10 So we unzipped her and she put on a pink cardigan over the lingerie and was careful to keep her hair clear this time as I zipped her in. As we left, we heard the suitcase giggle and say, Hurry up!

Speaker 10 This thing's stuffy.

Speaker 10 Lakeisha and I badgered the boys to bring everyone's bags to their rooms. I remember Bolin delivered mine.

Speaker 10 I was staying outside in a tent with Kay since the lodge didn't have enough bedrooms for everybody, and I wanted to sleep under the stars.

Speaker 10 Kay had no idea about the prank and was confused when I kept urging Bolin to go inside and check his bag, wink, wink.

Speaker 10 After he left, I told her about Rosa, and because Kay was actually sober, She told me to go make sure Rosa wasn't actually stuck in there.

Speaker 10 So I checked to make sure the suitcase wasn't still at the bottom of the stairs. At least, I think I checked.

Speaker 10 Like, I really think I checked.

Speaker 10 But I was drunk.

Speaker 10 All of us were sitting outside watching fireworks later. I noticed Bolin missing and asked Wade where he went.
Bolan had gone up to his room early.

Speaker 10 Since he hadn't come back, Likisha and I assumed Rosa was in there with him and that her lingerie scent had worked. In fact, Lakeisha and I were whispering about it all evening.

Speaker 10 Quietly, so as not to make any of the boys jealous.

Speaker 10 In the morning, when Bolin came down, we asked him about last night. All smirks.

Speaker 10 He looked clueless.

Speaker 10 Then, Lakeisha asked where Rosa was, and he was still clueless.

Speaker 10 But what about his suitcase? Hadn't he opened it? He said someone had shoved all his clothes into the closet in a pile.

Speaker 10 He wasn't sure why, he assumed he was being pranked or something and hadn't seen his suitcase.

Speaker 10 So you never opened it?

Speaker 10 Dread bloomed in my belly.

Speaker 10 Oh god.

Speaker 10 Oh god, oh god.

Speaker 10 Lakeisha was telling him how Rosa had hidden inside, hoping to surprise him in her lingerie.

Speaker 10 And Bolin blushed and said he was gay.

Speaker 10 Gay?

Speaker 10 But his coming out to us hardly even registered because where was Rosa? None of us knew.

Speaker 10 We quickly went to wake everyone else up, hoping someone had seen her last night.

Speaker 10 Oh god, oh god, oh god, I checked, didn't I check? I swear I checked.

Speaker 10 Prayers ran through my head. But I was drunk.
I wasn't sure if I really had.

Speaker 10 I went downstairs to the basement

Speaker 10 and there was the suitcase. Still tucked away at the bottom of the stairs.

Speaker 10 It was exactly where we'd left it when we zit Terosa inside the night before.

Speaker 10 Nobody wanted to open the suitcase. The boys argued about who had left it there.
JB said he'd lifted it, but noticed how heavy it was and asked someone else to take it.

Speaker 10 Each of them had thought another of the guys was going to grab it. Boland didn't think to check because he found his clothes piled in the closet.

Speaker 10 I'm ashamed to say I went outside when Lakeisha reached for the zipper.

Speaker 10 Wade came out and joined me.

Speaker 10 He told me dead bodies, gore, things like that scared him.

Speaker 10 While the others checked the contents of the suitcase, Wade and I sat outside.

Speaker 10 As we heard the gasps and whispers of, oh God,

Speaker 10 his fingers gripped mine tightly, and I put my head in my hands and sobbed.

Speaker 10 She'd suffocated, of course.

Speaker 10 But it had taken a long time.

Speaker 10 The police wondered why none of us had heard her gasping for help, but Kay sheepishly told him about the fireworks.

Speaker 10 A prank gone wrong, authorities ruled.

Speaker 10 My friends said then and still say now that ultimately, Rosa was the one most responsible for her own misfortune. That she'd made her own decisions.

Speaker 10 That all of us were a little guilty, but none of us was wholly responsible for a tragic accident.

Speaker 10 But

Speaker 10 it was my hand that closed the zipper.

Speaker 10 I've lain in bed thinking about her, gasping for air.

Speaker 10 Why didn't she scream?

Speaker 3 Why didn't we hear any muffled shouts?

Speaker 10 I imagine her squeezed into the darkness while her pleas for help go unanswered and I can't breathe.

Speaker 10 But the real reason I'm sharing this is because this morning I saw a story in the news about a woman in her underwear found strangled on the beach.

Speaker 10 The smiling photo of her they showed above the headline was of a beautiful young woman wearing pink.

Speaker 10 My husband switched away from the reporting, and when I asked why, he looked surprised and said that he thought it might trigger me.

Speaker 10 Why?

Speaker 10 It wasn't a prank.

Speaker 6 I thought it might remind you of Rosa.

Speaker 10 You know, the pink sweater, the

Speaker 10 lingerie. I suppose that aspect was similar.
To be honest, I hadn't thought of Rosa in such a long time, I'd almost forgotten the details. But now...

Speaker 10 Now I think about the gossip that went around afterward.

Speaker 10 How it traveled in whispers, even beyond our friend group, that she died in her lingerie as part of a prank for the boy she had a crush on. It was the only thing most people knew about her.

Speaker 10 Later, Rosa's death became a taboo subject among me and my friends. Almost like she'd never been with us at all.

Speaker 10 We all silently agreed to forget her.

Speaker 10 But the more I think of that report on the news, the more I'm getting that feeling from that day.

Speaker 10 That top of the stairs feeling. Like I'm looking down and seeing something I don't want to see.
That oh God, oh god, oh god sense of impending dread.

Speaker 10 And I'm about to be sick.

Speaker 10 Because Wade dated Rosa once

Speaker 10 and loved her.

Speaker 10 And I'm more and more certain I looked down the stairs before the fireworks and there was no suitcase there.

Speaker 10 And now I'm wondering if Wade never saw what was in the suitcase, never picked it up, or opened it, or moved it, and the only thing everyone remembered, or discussed, or knew about her was that she died in her lingerie.

Speaker 10 How did he know about the pink card again?

Speaker 10 F-T-Q-A-D-P-Q-D-A-B-Q-C-E-P-A-A-D-E-I-T-Q-C-C-A-C-A-Q-Q-J-U-E-F.
