Key Discussion Points & Story Breakdown

1. A Late-Night Text from the Past

[02:00–05:40]

• The narrator is awoken at 2 AM by a message from Jen, an ex-girlfriend he hasn’t spoken to in two years. Initially, he’s confused but curious.
  • Quote:
    Narrator (Michael David Axtell) [04:03]: “Not only was it out of pocket, it was out of character. It didn’t seem like something Jen would say.”
• Jen’s first text: “Do you ever wonder what’s under your skin?”
• She follows up with more bizarre messages about her bones wanting to escape and muses if they would know where to go.
• Then abruptly:
  • Jen [05:34]: “This is Jen. Haha. Just kidding. See you around.” (with a thumbs up emoji)

2. Escalating Oddness and Unsettling Messages

[05:40–13:18]

• The next day, Jen’s texts appear more normal but remain vague; she claims to be “working on something” and simply replies “Art.”
• The narrator receives a lifelike, disturbing photo of a smashed mirror with the faint outline of someone in the glass and a pipe wrench in the sink.
  • Narrator [08:56]: “It could have been a fine display of her honed skills, but the level of detail was borderline lifelike.”
• Jen’s replies become philosophically disturbing:
  • Jen [11:53]: “How do you know the you looking at you is really you?”
  • Jen [12:25]: “Can you trust the cameras of your eyes? Is the footage real? Has it ever been?”
• The narrator tries to call Jen, but she rejects the call and sends another strange message:
  • Jen [13:24]: “Can’t talk right now. Just kidding.”

3. Desperate to Reconnect, Real Danger Emerges

[13:18–21:40]

• The narrator, concerned for Jen’s well-being, suggests meeting up.
• Jen responds cryptically:
  • Jen [14:20]: “I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this. I gotta go.” (thumbs up emoji)
• Later, receives another chilling message:
  • Jen [16:04]: “Just because you don’t breathe doesn’t mean you’re not alive. If you’re not breathing, they can’t feel how close you are.”
• Jen sends a photo of an empty, smoking frying pan on a red-hot burner—implying she’s actively in a dangerous state.
• The narrator attempts (unsuccessfully) to reach her or make sense of the bizarre communications.

4. Trying to Make Sense: Is It a Prank or Something Worse?

[18:19–22:09]

• The narrator reaches out to Jen’s old friends and family, to no avail. Nobody has heard from her and people are unnerved by the strange, robotic tone in the texts.
  • Narrator [20:12]: “Those I met in person and physically showed the chat logs to said the texts were off putting. Like I was talking to a bot. The thought made me deeply uncomfortable, not knowing who was behind the wheel at the other end.”
• Jen finally texts, “I want to see you.”
• When the narrator offers to meet in public, Jen refuses, insisting on coming to his place instead.

5. The Deadly Mistake

[22:09–25:00]

• The narrator, wary but still feeling responsible, gives Jen his address—only to later realize he made a typo (typed 600 North instead of 500 North).
• He waits anxiously as a storm brews outside, but Jen never arrives.

6. The Climax: A Video Call of Horror

[26:26–32:13]

• Jen texts: “You’re not home,” then “I looked everywhere. Where are you?”
• When urged to video chat, Jen initiates a call—showing the outside of a house (not the narrator’s), her bare, muddy feet, and eventually the inside of a house in disarray.
  • The camera pans over chaos: overturned furniture, a broken TV, blood, possible bodies, and more.
  • Narrator [29:38]: “The camera pushed past the door and showed a living room in complete disarray. The couch was pushed out of place, the coffee table turned over. The television had been knocked on its side, painting the room in a strange blend of multicolored hues.”
• The horrifying realization: the narrator gave Jen the wrong address, sending her to someone else’s house, where something violent has occurred.

7. Aftermath & Final Revelation

[32:13–36:07]

• In a panic, he drives to the police and surrenders his phone as evidence; the officers’ somber reactions confirm the gravity of what happened at 1400 West, 600 North.
• While en route to the station, he sees Jen’s last texts:
  • Jen [35:52]: “I’m sorry, it appears there’s been a miscalculation somewhere. I’ve addressed the issue. It appears the error was on your part. The error has been corrected. See you soon.” (thumbs up emoji)
• The ambiguity of Jen’s fate—and what might happen next—leaves a lingering dread.

Jen’s increasingly robotic and surreal communications blend existential terror with the mundane, making the horror feel both intimate and inescapable.

Summary

"Wrong Number" is a gripping, atmospheric tale that plays on the fear of miscommunication, trust in digital technology, and the existential anxiety of not truly knowing who is on the other end of a communication thread. The horror is not just in the supernatural implications of Jen’s altered state, but the all-too-human fear of error, isolation, and unseen danger. Listeners are left questioning the reality of the exchange and the consequences of a single mistyped number.
