She just brought the new house the price were cheap almost felt like a joke. The house was way from city. Even her friends thoughts of her as crazy "living there alone" "with no Wi-Fi or coffee shop around"
But she wasn't looking for anything like that she was looking for her, herself
She opened the door it opened with the creek, the floor was damaged, dust was all over, the air smelled like old wood
sana

She brought her suite case inside
She looked at the faded wallpaper, old furniture

She cleaned a bit of the house

She put her mattress on the corner she cleaned and slept there
The sleep came with the uneasy dream

She kept thinking about it
She was not able to ignor the phone
The rotary phone sat silently on the table.
The memory of the voice wasn't able to leave her brain
She move closer to the rotary phone automatically
She dial the same number as before the sound of rotary dial comforting in the quite room

That day the house felt longer and slowed, each quarter then the one before. Sana thought being alone would make her feel better, A break from tired mind, her broken heart. But the silence felt heavy like the weight she couldn't escape
She thought of divert her mind and stated unpacking things
Cleaning the old furniture. No matter how much she work the house still felt heavy and cold
she starts to thinking about her life her friend the city light tears came into her eyes she slept while crying
The day came she tried to make herself busy in books nothing helped her
By the third night she was falling apart

She was looking at the phone as it was mocking her as if he knew what all she was going through
sana
I-i thought ii could do this but seems like I can't *sobbing*
sana
I can't be alone anymore *break down*
She looked at the rotary phone crying. It looked like as if it was calling her, the moonlight make it shine
She thought about the strange captain Vincent? Was he real. Or just an accident
She went near the phone hold the receive phone on her ears
sana
