Marty

Category: Pain

"Riiiinggggggg ...."

The phone went on in the dark, persistent, till it finally achieved to get me out of my sleep. I hate phone calls at unholy hours, moreso on a weeknight at 2:30 am. It makes me imagine of ambulances, or emergency rooms, or hysterics, or ... STOP. Anyway, the incessant ringing outlasted my hesitation to pick it up.

"Yes, hello?" I mumbled sleepily.

"Hi!" (I couldn't stand how eagerly that sounded). "Can I talk to Marty?"

Marty. Who the. There's no fricken Marty here! angry

Hmph."Sorry, wrong number."

See, I'm nice, I said sorry. Then, BLAGAAAG, went my cordless phone.

I think I may have minorly damaged someone's left (or right) ear hearing there.
