140

The phone rings. A man’s voice I’ve never heard before greets me. I greet him back, but he doesn’t seem to hear me.

The phone makes tapping noises. The man keeps saying “hello”, but is suddenly interupted by some answering machine.

“Thanks for using our services”, the machine says. More tapping noises. An unexpected *click*. Absolute silence.

Whoever calls, hangs up. The only sound coming out of my telephone is that beep we all get when there’s no one at the other end of the line.

I hang up the phone in disappointment.
