The Blank Final Message
My relative who lives far away and I agreed that we would send each other a short message every night before bed to let each other know we are safe. No matter the weather, no matter how busy we are, this routine has never been broken. Tonight, I only received a blank message from them — no text, no symbols, no emojis. The moment I saw the blank message, I immediately knew something was terribly wrong and called the police right away. There was no kidnapping, no hostage taking, and the phone was not lost.

Why did I immediately know something was wrong and call the police after receiving the blank message?
