Description
It wasn't a very good day for Jim Fahey. It started with a boring assignment, something any decent reporter could handle, and not the kind of thing an aspiring Pulitzer prize-winning reporter sought.Then he found the phone that someone apparently lost. It looked to be of excellent quality, but of a brand he had never heard of before. Playing with it, hoping to find some clue as to who might have lost it, he discovered it wasn't locked, but it contained no personal information. That wasn't the only odd thing about it.He decided to try and make a call with his discovery and see if it actually worked. He chose his sister, both because it was her birthday and he owed her a call, but also because she had a caller ID and could tell him what number the phone appeared to be using.He got her easily enough, but she acted strange, and told him he was dead, and had been for years. Not exactly the greeting he'd been expecting, nor something to brighten one's day. He must have pissed her off somehow, but with time running out to his appointment, he decided to pursue it later.That evening, he called her back, on his own phone. She denied all knowledge of the previous call, and wondered if he'd been drinking. After the confusing, but cordial completion of the call, he decided to try the lost phone again, and see what happened.He got the hostile version of his sister once more, and after some back and forth and question and answer proof of who each of them were, he was convinced it was still his sister, except she claimed to live in Australia, a dozen years in the future. Come on!As for his death, she gave him details of when and where and how, and disturbingly it was damn soon. After the call, he did some Internet searching and found the event she described didn't exist. Confused, but somewhat reassured, he went about his business until a week later the event was suddenly scheduled, and his boss assigned him to be there and cover it.He went, cautiously avoiding the danger areas, and damned if the disaster didn't happen as described, except his caution allowed him to survive it. Good deal, huh, except now he wondered about the nuclear war his sister had told him was the reason why she was living in the Southern Hemisphere. Read more
