| 5 seconds of silence He spits the words "fuck off" through a half chewed mouthful of chicken burger as the phone starts to ring in the hallway. Muttering to himself he makes his way to the phone gulping down his food. A glob of mayo that was lodged on the corner of his mouth falls landing on the receiver as he as answers with more than a tad of annoyance in his voice. "hello?"
He is greeted by 5 seconds of silence before a prerecorded voice starts to greet him. the voice is female, polite and speaking at a practiced steady pace. "good evening. have you ever consider...."
the phone is slammed down before anything else can be said. "fucking tele sales. always at fucking dinner time."
He takes 2 steps back towards his cooling chicken burger and fries when the phone rings again.
He answers and is again greeted by 5 seconds of silence before the prerecorded voice talks again. "now that wasn't very nice. hanging up before i got to tell you anything that might be of importance."
Its still prerecorded and this has him taken aback momentarily. He reassures himself that it's just a clever ploy on the telesales part and takes the phone from his ear to hang up.
The voice on the phone changes "Dont you fucking hang up on me!"
the voice is filled with venom. Shocked he brings the phone sharply back to his ear. Surely he must have heard it wrong? More silence before the woman's polite voice pours out of the phone with talk of illustrating the benefits of something or other. Must be hearing things. Mind playing tricks on me. He hangs up. The reciver is barely back in place as the phone rings a third time.
"Who is this?!" he demands.
There is another 5 seconds of silence before the womans' prerecored voice asks. "have you ever heard the noise a grown man makes when you cut of his ears?"
"Dont worry you wont either." |
