The One Call

While moaning to myself that I was stuck taking 9-11 calls today. I recieved a call from a hysterical 12 yoa boy. He stayed home from school because he was sick,and he was home ALONE. While lying in bed probably watching a bootleg of The Avengers. His house Alarm goes off and heard someone breaking into his house ! He was so scared he couldnt remember his Dads phone number , but he knew mine 9-1-1, ...I stayed on the line with him and used an Old Jedi calming technique. I told him where to hide until the police got there.( in the basment ) Every once in a while we take calls that get to us,, heart starts racing, palms sweat all noise in the room stops, and only the sound of your heart and the callers frantic voice can be heard. This was mine today, hope he grows up and uses his gift to become Superman!
