Moonlight illuminates the dining room.
A dark figure hunches over the table, wielding a butter knife, inquisitively shaking a black rotary telephone.
As the figure lifts the phone higher, all 100 Travel Scrabble tiles fall out of the phone one by one, exiting through the rotary wheel.
Each tile makes a distinctive plastic rattling sound as it jostles within the hard plastics phone, and clatters onto the table and floor. Accompanying this is the occasional soft dinging sound when a tile hits the internal bell of the phone.
“Are you OK?” a voice calls from the bedroom.
