Writing Prompt
You keep receiving strange phone calls from random people asking for help. One day you answer and they say, "You're too late."
It was exact 11 on the clock. My ear was ready to listen my mobile tone which was just about to ring as usual it does every night at 11pm. But what... 11.02 and nobody called? What a strange. This happens first time in the last 22 days. Since 22 days every night exactly at 11, she used to call me.
During the period I became addicted to that calls and that thin voice. Every day I think its a prank call. But she was consistent.
She used to ask she wants to know where the Royal Street is and every time I became angry and reply why did you call me? its very famous in the city even the child knows the address or just search online... But she was keep calling until 21 days asking the same question and every time I reply like this.
Some of the time I think she is a psycho case or some of the time I think someone just trying to make fun of me. I ignore every day and every day I decided tomorrow I am gonna ask detail of this sim card. Then I became lenient and forget, but this phone rings made me addicted.
I don't know why I was getting worried and start thinking about that call and that voice. In my subconscious mind, I wanted my phone to ring. I started checking my mobile if is there any signal issue or the battery is dead but everything was fine. I waited half an hour then dial her no which I saved as Unknown1.
Nobody received the call. This thing made me more confused. 10 minutes later I called again this time someone received the call, but the voice was different. I asked, "I want to talk to a person to whom this sim belongs". I didn't know the name. She replied, "you are too late". I felt the pain in the voice.
I asked, "what happened"?
She said forget her and don't try to call this number ever again, and cancel the call.
I have become an idol for a couple of minutes. I didn't know whats happening.
I didn't want to be confused anymore so I called again.
The same voice again in angry mode, didn't I say don't call the no.
I had no way, my mind was buzzing with different questions. I should have asked the detail to her I shouldn't be so rude to her. what if she genuinely wants to know the Royal Street address and what if I am the only one she could have asked.
Next whole day was spent with this kind of thinking. I don't know why something started happening inside me exactly at 11 o' clock. I took my phone, open dial no and call that unknown girl. In the 4th ring, the same woman received the phone to whom I talked yesterday.
"I want to know the Royal Street story" I asked hesitantly.
I think you won't be calmed, I had to tell you. Okay listen then 2 years later she lost her mother in Royal Street in a car accident after that she had lost her brain power. The day before yesterday she has also left this world. You're too late to heal her pain.
This made me sad, I asked what if I tell her the Royal Street address? then her next sentence would be an advice. "That place is dangerous. Don't go there you will lose the most precious thing."
