Call On Arrival

He called from the train station, happy to be off of it, finally.

Nobody answered.

He called from the same spot five minutes later, casual, enjoying the breeze.

Nobody answered.

He called from the cafe next to the station ten minutes later, slightly worried, as his coffee cooled.

Nobody answered.

He called when the coffee was cold, maybe two minutes later.

Nobody answered.

As soon as that call rang off, he called again.

Nobody answered.

He rushed out onto the street, calling again,  looking for a taxi, not seeing the bus.

"Hi, so sorry, was in the bath!"

Nobody answered.
