[ WP ] You 're home alone with a dead cell phone . You turn off all of the lights , and settle in to bed . It 's quiet . Then there is a beep in the darkness .

I awake, in the dark. My alarm clock is set to time only and shows 2:26 AM. I am tired, but I hear it. What awoke me. 
 
 A beep. 
 
 A single beep, every 5 seconds. 
 
 I know my phone is dead. I have no other electronics running, not a laptop or desktop, not even a watch. 
 
 Confused and terrified, I must contemplate what to do. 
 
 I slowly reach for the flashlight on my nightstand, I turn it on and my room is empty, but my closet is open. 
 
 I quickly dash to the light switch and turn it on, then immediately turn around. Nothing. I decide I must look in the closet, it seems the beep comes from there. 
 
 I first look in my room, grab something to hurt with. I find my utility knife and wield that, ready to slice and stab at whatever causes this. I then slowly walk up to the closet, and swing open the doors. 
 
 Nothing. 
 
 I search, then realize the beep is from upstairs in the same rough area. 
 
 I hold my flashlight in hand, and leave my bedroom light on. 
 
 Terrified I turn every light on the bottom floor on. I then approach the stairs and point my light up. Nothing, good. I turn the light for the stairwell on so it is well lit. 
 
 I walk up, careful and quiet, walk upstairs. I approach the bathroom, which is above my room. Slowly, I open the door and switch on the light. Nothing, but now the beep is below. I realize it must be in the floor. 
 
 I move to my sister's room and wake her up. She immediately notices the beeping when awake, and asks what it is. 
 
 `` I do n't know, can you help me find and turn it off?'' 
 
 `` Well now that I'm up I ca n't sleep unless it's off.'' 
 
 I and her move to my room, to crack open the ceiling where it comes from. 
 
 I get my utility knife and smoothly cut around the area the beep originates. 
 
 The piece of ceiling falls down crashing on the floor, I look up and see a red dot on something black. 
 
 I am dead before I even know what I saw.
