It’s a black flip-phone.

That’s it.

I have a contact list.

I don’t answer unless a name appears.

(Don’t tell anyone but sometimes I don’t answer then.)

I’ve had it four years.

Yesterday I learned how to change the ringtone.

That’s right, yesterday.

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m low-tech.

 

It is… embarrassing that only yesterday I could figure out how to change the ringtone.

I decided I should learn my phone better.

Especially since my inbox was – apparently – full?

Maybe I shouldn’t have my phone on silent so frequently

Hi, my spouse is gone…

 

3666 messages – 2654 were from the exact same number.

 

It rang.

Again.

 

I don’t know who this number is.

But – suddenly – so many things are falling into place.

?

 

I’m not gonna read them.  I’m not gonna read them.

The phone displays the first few words though.

Every.

Single.

Message.

 

[Erase Message]

 

I’m clicking it for every single one of them.

Isn’t there an erase all?

Okay.  Try it.

Press the right, blank button.

[Erase All]

{yes}{no}

 

Left, blank button.  {yes}

 

Okay.  They’re gone.

Double check the locks tonight.

This is just a troll, right?

 

It’s ringing.

Don’t open it.  Look at the number.
