Message deleted. K.L. Slater. 2024.

Saffy is waiting to go into a job interview when she receives a text message from her best friend, Leona: 

Can't speak …

don't text or call... 

pls just come

As Saffy struggles to understand what is happening, the phone screen changes.

This message was deleted.

Leona answers the door, and insists everything's fine.

She doesn't know anything about the message. Saffy can tell something's not right but she can't think of anything else she can do.

Six hours later, Saffy gets a knock on the door. It's the police.

Leona is missing, with her young child. There's blood everywhere.

And Saffy was the last one to see them alive...
