Trying to Connect You

  • by John Rowe Townsend
  • in The Eleventh Ghost Book, Aiden Chambers (Barry and Jenkins, 1975)

A man realizes the mistake he made with Elaine, and he desperately searches for a phone booth to call her before she leaves the country forever, but others want the phone booth, too, for a series of disasters that haven’t yet happened.
Twenty-four hours after I left her, I knew I was wrong and knew what I should have said.
