The unknown calls to you.
The unknown calls to you.
A sense of calm before the button is pressed, The dialling sound as the machine searches for the connection you seek. A deep breath is drawn, thoughts of whether this will be welcomed or not.
One, two, and then a third ring—mind racing as you wonder if they will pick up. Time almost stands still now; the ringing continues as you wait for the voice. “I am sorry, we cannot connect your call at this time. Please leave a message.”
The sound of a click forms on the line as you hear the call disconnect. Eyes snap shut and press tight to keep the light from them. Words form in your mind, too quick to decipher, even if you tried.
A simple connection sought, nothing more than to hear her voice, To spend the time engaged in something resembling life with another, A fleeting moment between two people that brings new hope and choice.
