Randi's Priority

"RANDI'S PRIORITY"

I finished a story
I sent it to an ex-girlfriend
she read it and stood silent
then she called me
when I answered it 
there was no one on the line
two days passed 
not a word
she hadn't commented 
she usually does 
with anything I send her
utterly bizarre 

the phone rang again 
the silence was back
I called back this time 
someone picked up the line
no sound but breathing
later, Randi reached out
"my boyfriend read the messages
between us and the story you sent.
he tried calling you but hung up. 
he's going crazy. don't respond 
to interactions after these
messages."

I laughed,
another insecure fool
she sent another message:
"I'll be back like always.
just wait a few days. by the
way, I absolutely loved
your story. I'm reading it
for a second time while he
threatens to take the kids."
