I set the glass down on the mahogany desk, the clink echoing in the stillness, and reached for the device.
The screen displayed an unfamiliar number. A prank call, perhaps? Or another misguided attempt from the media to dig into my personal affairs? With a resigned sigh, I accepted the call, bringing the phone to my ear.
"Logan Black speaking," I announced, my tone edged with impatience.
"Mr. Black, this is paramedic James Thornton from Mercy General Hospital. Do you know a Mr. Tarantino Black?"
The name struck like a physical blow, my grip on the phone tightening instinctively. The room seemed to tilt slightly, the walls closing in as memories I had long buried threatened to surface.
