Unexpected Calls by Madi Altman
6:16 pm Incoming call
I pick up
You do push-ups slightly off screen
Must have been an accident I hang up
6:17 pm Incoming call
I pick up thinking it was another mistake
You talk, teasing me about hanging up
The camera flips to a wall where playing cards are being thrown at full speed You show me your smiling face again and promise to call me later 10:52 pm Incoming call
You let your anger out about your old sheets that are worn too thin
I awkwardly laugh, attempting to defend myself
I continue to laugh, amused by your simple skill I hang up
I answer on my laptop, forgetting about the school work I was focused on
