Unfamiliar with the concept I turn it on the first morning to a message that goes something like "You f***ing bi*ch I'll kill you. How could you break up with me through a cab driver? Shocked I immediately blocked the caller and deleted the offending screed. To my regret. In repeating the story I can only paraphrase what he or she wrote at 2:47 a.m., where if I had saved it there would be an additional ring of authenticity, and that it could also make an interesting beginning for a story or poem. So much better than what my memory throws up. I could also have written back explaining that I am a 70 year old grandma and as far as I remember I wasn't out in a cab in the middle of the night but who knows? I don't think have taken up wandering --yet.(HUMOUR) Or that I am so sorry that your girlfriend has deserted you.(EMPATHY) Or a film noir screenplay where the message comes from a really bad guy who proceeded to kill the messenger, the girlfriend, and then come after me. So in the end maybe I did the right thing.
