Short Phone callA Story by hidieBreaking-up is not breakeven
It was a
cold Friday night, the storm is roaring and the thunder is shouting with his
anger. Karen is relaxing, just sitting on her couch watching tv and waiting to
fall asleep, when the phone suddenly rings. She reached her hand and grab the
phone placed in her right ear and said “Hello?” the other line answered,
sounding a man with a deep voice crying “I'm tired with my life, why does I am
such a failure in my career, relationship and finances? Why living in this world
is tough? Why the only woman who is keeping you alive does will suddenly switch
off your connection to her. I want to end this life now.” Karen was surprised
and answered, “Who are you? Why are you calling me? But don’t end your life,
everything will be fine soon but be strong. Talk to her.” The strange caller
just keeps on shouting. Karen was so scared she checked her caller ID but
couldn’t trace his location. “I wish I heard that from you earlier.” Said on
the other line. “huh? Luis?” the call was dropped on the other line. After the
call her mobile phone ringed, Luis is calling again, she answered immediately
and said raising up her voice, “Luis! Are you ok?” the other line answered “Luis,
was found dead at the phone booth holding your new phone number 2 hours ago.” © 2015 hidieAuthor's Note
