The Wrong Number

Your phone rings. You think you recognize the voice. The way it sounds over the wires, over the distance it used to take to talk to you. You press the phone against your ear, listening as the voice on the other end makes absolutely no sense and realize it's not who you thought it was. Wrong number, wrong time, wrong person, you return the handset to its cradle, wondering what you would have said had it been someone you thought you knew.
