That phone call

It's the dead of night

.

That time where serenity takes charge

.

Until there’s an interruption

...

A ring

.

Piercing the silence

.

And your heart

...

It's menacing only because of its bad timing

.

But they say nothing good happens after 2am

...

You imagine the worst scenarios

.

But are there any good ones

...

You remain still in bed

.

Then a creak from the stairs

...

When you were young, the paralysis was an option

.

It was feigned

.

It was understood

.

But now what

…

The ringing is stopped

...

You imagine the worst scenarios

.

But there are no good ones.
