A/N: For MaddyDell's birthday! But cause it's so late, I'm dedicating the sequel to Circle of Logic to you too! Only I can't post it right now, but here's one for you.

Have I ever mentioned how much I actually hate the

Irritating voice of that operator lady?

Who always goes

"Please try again later, or

Leave a message at the tone"

Because I know, no matter how many times

I try again

The call will never get through

Either way.

Still I press redial,

And hear that dumb operator say,

"The number you have reached is not available"

Well, duh.

Or I would be speaking to you right now.

Even though I know you are not, in fact, unavailable.

You just don't want to pick up my calls.

My phone's almost out of battery.

But I dial your number again.

The dull buzz of the dial tone…

Nobody's picking up; I don't hear your voice.

I just want to speak to you this one last time

So

Just answer this call before I hear

That lady's voice again-

Too late.

I guess I shall just have to

Call you again, but nothing

Seems to be happening

Except that my phone's battery is

Dwindling, with only 4% left.

Again, for the umpteenth time,

I press the call button again.

I lost track after the fifteenth call,

Stupid, stupid operator.

I get your voicemail-again.

And I try, undeterred.

"If you get this, call me. Please."

I look at

My phone.

The battery tatus light

Is an alarming red.

2%.

Barely enough for one last call.

Should I, should I not?

What's the harm/

And my phone rings.

A/N: R and R please! And happy belated birthday Maddy.
