An Unexpected Call

The call room was a frantic chorus of conversation and ringtones. It sounds more like a zoo than an office. The young employee reaches out at his ringing phone and answers it “Hello, thank you for calling Horizon Advantage, my name is Patel, how can I help you?” The voice, which sounded eerily familiar answers, “Hello Patel, how are you?” Patel answers, hesitantly “I am doing well, may I ask who is calling and the nature of your call?” “It’s you” answers the voice. “You who? What is your last name, You?” Asks Partel. “My last name is your last name” As Patel heard the words he spent the following silence contemplating in frantic fashion what he had just heard. He realized why the voice sounded familiar, it was his own voice. It sounded a bit different, more hushed, with more bass, perhaps how Patel would sound if he were fifteen or twenty years older than he is now. “What is this?” Asked Patel, clearly worried and in a growing panic. “It has taken me a long time to find you, you’re needed elsewhere. Somewhere that is here, but not now.”
