Every morning at 9:00 a.m. sharp, you get a call on your cell phone. The speaker says “I know what you did” and then hangs up. This has been going on for two weeks straight. What did you do and how do you react to these calls?
9:00.
Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring.
I already know what the voice will say
but this is the price I must pay,
I know what you did.
9:05.
I'm so sorry.
She can't hear me.
9:15.
I open the doors to the police station,
This is what she would want.
How can I help you?
9:16.
I blink back the salty tears
about to spill like
a waterfall.
I'm so sorry.
9:17.
It was me,
I breathe.
9:20.
A flash of bright lights,
clothed in orange stripes,
A metal cage awaits me.
9:22.
Slam.
