After sitting at the small wooden table for some time, the phone's loud ringing broke into the silence again. Nantai's eyes stared at the pale white phone, not wanting to hear anymore bad news. It seems like he's been getting bad news all week. He pusehd his bangs slowly away from his face and sighed. He viciously grabbed the phone and placed it to his ear.
"Hello?" he said into the phone.
Only it echoed in the background.
"Hello!" he repeated.
Again, his own voice echoed into the background.
"Look, whoever thinks this is funny isn't fooling anyone so quiet the **** out!"
With that, he slammed the phone down.
"Who was that?" said a soft voice from behind him.
Nantai turned around as fast as he could, startled. He sighed again and rubbed his eyes.
"Nobody, just some prank callers," he muttered.
Rain rolled her eyes and went to go get the newspaper. She opened her front door and almost screamed. Right in her front porch, there was a decapitated cat and a cellphone. She picked the cellphone up, which was sitting next to the cat's tail, and ran inside.
"Nantai!!" she said, handing the phone to him.
"What's this?"
"I found it outside next to a dead cat," she said, almost in tears.
He dropped the phone and began to wipe his hands on his pajama pants.
"Well, thanks for letting me know! But tell me before I touch things like this!!" he said, grabbing some paper towls and wiping his hands off. Then he picked up the phone with a paper towl and began to study it.
I wonder...
