text: 7** new messages New message* Hey.. it's me. I uh, I know we haven't talked in awhile but a friend of mine asked me something that I really thought you'd get a kick out of. So, your doctor tells you that you only have 24 hours left to live. By the time he's done explaining it and you’re standing outside his office you’re down to 23:30. Whaddya do? Anyway, call me back when you get this.. I miss you. *End message New message* Hey, it's me again. I couldn't stop thinking about that hypothetical so I figured I’d call you with a similar one, but a little further along the line. So, same start but now you've got your affairs in order. Important account information written down, utilities handled, any pets have a new home to go to, all that sorta stuff. You've got about 18 hours left and none of the paperwork left to waste time on. Whaddya do? Call me back when you get this.. I miss you. *End message New message* Me again. I've got a confession to make. There isn't any friend with a hypothetical, I just wanted a reason to call you. I’m actually just sitting at home, alone, a little drunk. Kinda pathetic but, you know, I'm not the most likable guy. Anyway, back on the hypothetical, picture that you've got enough booze to pickle a pastor and no real place to go. Down to about 12 hours, whaddya do? Call me back when you get this. I miss you. *End message New message* Hey. I went to see my Dad. No I didn’t drive, I... I learned that lesson. Someone planted flowers for him, Tiger Lilies. Probably, you know I’m awful with flowers. They were orange and dotty though, he would've loved them. For our one sided voicemail game, you're drunk and wandering with 8 hours left. Where do you go, what do you want to see? Whaddya do? Call me back when you get this. I miss you. *End message New message* So I went and got Sharky's. You remember that crazy old dude with the taco truck that would park down the street from the graveyard? He finally got a restaurant, right where he used to park that old beater. Saw me staggering around and brought me inside. We talked while he cooked up some dinner, turns out his wife is buried a few rows down from Dad. Anyway, I'm sure you figured it out by now but I’m down to about 5 hours. Sharky just got the biggest tip he’s ever seen and I’m sobered up, so, what should I do? I know you're not gonna call me back but... I miss you. *End message New message* I think I maybe fell asleep after I ate, woke up in a booth with a blanket over me. Sharky left a key with a note to bring it back tomorrow.. I dropped it in his mail slot. I wandered back over to the graveyard, it’s been too long since I visited. So, I've got about an hour, no loose ends to tie up, and nothing exciting to do. Guess I'll come say hi. Sorry you won't hear this. I miss you. *End message New message* Well, it may have taken me two years to get here but I made it. I’m so sorry you got here before me. If there is an after, I'm curious how you're going to meet me. In anger? Joy? Will you even be there? Or is there nothing and I’m just talking into a voicemail that's never gonna get checked? Guess I'll know soon enough. No need to call me back. I love you. *End of messages.
