He Sounded Handsome Charming Even

I was on my cell phone for forty-two hours I had gone through all my besties They were busy, with lives, living them So, I started calling the social media “friends” People I had never met before Most did not answer. In desperation as my phone was about to die I dialed a random number, hoping to hear a voice. “Hello!” He sounded handsome, charming maybe. I started to tell him my woes. “I am not home right now,” he said. At this point I did not care. Just wanting the illusion that someone was listening Before I jumped this bridge.

Did he call you back after you left your number?
