Oliver lived alone in a small apartment. He owned an old radio that stayed silent most of the time. Then, at 11:11 at night, the radio switched on by itself for the first time.
A voice came through the speaker. It gave a short message about the next day. Oliver was shocked because it sounded exact and personal, as if it was meant only for him.
The next day, the message came true. The event happened exactly as the voice had said it would. Oliver began to think the radio might know the future.
He waited for the next night and tried to test it. He decided to listen closely at 11:11 again. Before telling anyone, he wanted proof for himself.
At 11:11, the radio spoke again. This second message gave another small fact about tomorrow. Oliver recorded it so he could check it against what happened later.
The following day, he listened to the recording. The new prediction was also right. That made him trust the radio more, and he started to depend on it.
Oliver felt hopeful, because the messages might help him. He thought the radio could make his ordinary life better. So he decided to use the next message for a small advantage.
He got ready to wait for the next broadcast. He still did not know who was sending the messages. The chapter ended with Oliver expecting the radio to speak again.
