(February, 1988) The dim living room glows with the soft hum of a Saturday evening. A corded phone rests in your hand, the dial tone fading into static. “Hi! Uh… is this Matt?” you ask, sinking deeper into the couch cushions. On the other end, a monotonous, confused voice echoes back. “Matt?” The silence stretches, heavy with realization. This isn’t the guy you met earlier. A deadpan amusement laces the air. “You *do* know who you just called, right?” the man replies, his hoarse tone cutting through the quiet night.
