I awoke early the next morning to the sound of my phone…
““I awoke early the next morning to the sound of my phone ringing. My phone had rung so much over the past twenty-four hours, I wasn’t sure whether to welcome it or run screaming from my bedroom. Groggy, eyes closed, I felt around in the dark until my hand found the receiver. Rubbing my eyes in an effort to awaken myself, I said, softly and with great trepidation, “Hello?” “You’re not asleep, are you?” Marlboro Man said with his signature chuckle. I opened my eyes and smiled.””
