Welcome back to Walking Dread, your daily dose of chills and thrills! Buckle up, because today's episode is gonna send shivers down your spine.

We're talking about Annabelle, a radio enthusiast obsessed with static. But this ain't your grandma's radio – Annabelle's picking up voices begging for help from another dimension! Creepy, right? She calls in the big guns – experts, the military – anyone who can help answer these otherworldly cries. They even build a super-powered transmitter to blast a message back: "We hear you. We're coming." Talk about a cosmic 9-1-1 call, eh?

But hold on! Turns out, our rescue attempt was a BIG MISTAKE. The voices on the other side freak out, and then… silence. Dead air. Back on Earth, things start getting weird. Birds stop singing, machines go kaput, and people are vanishing into thin air! What the heck is going on?!

Annabelle, bless her soul, races against time to figure out what she's unleashed. Turns out, those voices weren't warning us about some monster, but about a force of pure nothingness – a cosmic vacuum cleaner that sucks up sound, light, and LIFE itself! Our little "hello" message basically opened the door and invited this creepy void right in!

As the silence closes in, Annabelle makes a last-ditch effort to warn anyone who might be listening out there in the vast universe. She screams into the void – not for help, but to let them know what we did. And then… she's gone too. Poof!

So, did we doom the entire universe with our good intentions? Is anything left out there? Or is just… silence? Join us next time on Walking Dread for more tales from the dark side!
