Penance: April 7, 2010 - Voice Mail

Prompt: Take a generic phrase that is specific to a place (for example: "employees must wash hands before returning to work" in a public restroom) and change its context.

Source: None.

Original Airdate: Today :)

Response:

He swings slowly - just physics. He's no longer there to make himself swing. His head tilts and his eyes stare at the wall as he swings. His neck is changing color, his eyes bulge as if surprised.

The note is in his shadow, but the sun is moving and soon it will be readable from anywhere in the room. It is all in block letters that rip the page in places with an emotion that the words do not portray.

"Leave a message after the tone. BEEP."
