A Call In The Night

Foul-ball Home Run ~ Anthony Godoy

2/28/10 1:28 pm
A ringing telephone in the dead of night terrified me as a child. It wasn’t the disruption of the calm, as the sound itself wasn’t alarming. It wasn’t the disrespect of a late night caller, either. What does a small child know about etiquette? [...]
