The Phone Call Goodbye
by Caza

When I was small, my Great-Aunt Nony was still alive. Her life had been a terrible ordeal for her as she had been plagued with lots of different types of cancer. One day, my parents took me to see her in the nursing home in which she lived. It was quite scary as the cancer had started to show and you could see tumors on her face and arms. She seemed to just be wasting away, but my parents wanted me to see her before she died.

A few days after this, my parents were talking in the kitchen when I received a seemingly real phone call on my plastic toy phone. It was Nony.

"Hello. It's Nony, Carrie. Don't worry. Everything will be alright. Tell your parents. Don't worry, everything's going to be fine."

So I hung up and told my parents what Nony had said, but they didn't believe me. They just thought that she was playing on my mind when I was playing on my pretend telephone.

One hour later, we received a phone call from my grandmother. She told us that Nony had died about an hour ago. This was extremely spooky as that was the time when I received my phone call. Everyone was spooked out and my parents threw my phone away. It's strange because as soon as I got my new mobile phone I got anonymous phone calls where I just hear heavy breathing and them the caller hangs up. I look to see the phone number every time, but it is never recorded.
