Sixty-Seven Missed Calls
I tapped the screen to wake it up, and my eyes widened in shock. The notification center was overflowing with alerts.
The number sixty-seven sat next to the missed call icon, a testament to their persistence. The names Mark, Sarah, and David repeated over and over in the list of recent activity.
They had called incessantly throughout the night, clearly in a state of absolute panic. The silence of my sleep had been their chaos.
