Unknown Error

Connection was strong at first.
Then the signal weakened.
Toot... toot...
The line became busy,
Until it was out of coverage.

So, not to disturb,
It was archived.
No more notifications.
No more waiting.
No more checking.

The promises
And the future they imagined
Became corrupted.
System failure.
Then... 

Connection lost.
The error...
Was never her.
It was zero one two
Five nine three

To restart again... Then... 

No more unknown errors
After the four one eight
The call ended.
She smiled.
The last good thing... 

She shut down
The memories.
And finally...
She rebooted
Her life

Nine three eight six goodbye...
