Don't Open the Oven

A home baker hears her late grandmother's voice from inside the oven, begging her not to open the door until the timer rings. As the kitchen temperature drops and the voice begins to sound less like a warning and more like a plea, she realizes the thing inside the oven is not trapped—it is waiting to be invited out.
