Funny Story


Slam me down again. Just one more time. I miss being talked to and touched. It’s the little things, you know?  I’ve been here alone for so long, and all I do is think. Think and wish. More than anything, I wish that it were a different time. Back when everyone needed me and couldn’t get enough. The lower left side of me has been chipped for about 8 years now. Funny story actually. This kid, about 6 or 7, was just learning to ride a bike without training wheels. A little young if you ask me, but I’m an old soul. Anyways, this kid was getting the hang of it, when all of a sudden a Great Dane decides to relieve pay phones received attention. I got stared at while these humans walked passed me. Okay.

    This is great. Payphones are such a forgotten thing. This is great to see a payphone have a personality or feelings. Funny and sarcastic. Really like it.

    There's a continuity problem in the first post. I think the formatting just got off or something but I really like this topic. I would never thing to go into the mind of a pay phone. I like all the references to being old and out dated. Poor pay phone!
