The Phone Number


The scrawled writing caught her attention.  Partly because it was so unusual in her hotel lobby’s pristine restroom and partly because it was just a phone number with the word call written in gold marker.  She contacted housekeeping to have it removed.

Upon checking the restroom the next day she found the number was back with the words CALL NOW.  Exasperated she dialed the number.

“Time to come home.”

A radiant light formed around her.  The memory of the bus accident on the way to work flooded her mind.  She released her hold on the physical world and faded away.
