Numbers To Never Call Novels & Stories

Conan bristled , pinching the bridge of his nose “ jeez , you are so on time Jake !” But I didn’t listen to him , instead I was already calling Bella ‘s number but “ sorry the number you have dialled is currently switched off , please try later “ A mechanical voice answered , and something in my chest coiled - there were multiple scenarios already flashing in my head . And it was with trembling hands and nerve stretching at every second that I called Chris but “ sorry the number you have called is currently switched off please try later “ “ what the fuck ? “I couldn’t help but exclaim “their numbers are switched off hell , Chris had never switched off his phone before this “

Couldn't think. Couldn't— My phone was suddenly in my hand. I didn't even remember picking it up. I was already dialling. The number burned into my memory after a year. I pressed the phone to my ear. Come on. Come on, Valentina. Answer. We can fix this. We'll talk. We'll renegotiate the damn contract. Just answer the fucking phone. The call connected. Then a mechanical voice filled my ear. "The number you have dialled is no longer in service." I went completely still. "The number you have dialled is no longer in service." The voice repeated. The line disconnected.

Regina had just finished reviewing several collaboration proposals sent by one of her marketing staff when her phone rang. She saw an unknown number on the screen. Regina flipped the phone over, automatically disconnecting the call. She hated receiving calls from unknown numbers. After finishing her work, Regina turned off her laptop and picked up her phone. She saw an incoming message from the same number that had called her earlier. "Regina, this is Janus. This is my new phone number, and I just want you to save it in case you need my help. I'll always be available."

I tried calling the number a second time, but it went dead immediately. That was it. I couldn’t wait any longer.

The caller didn’t pick up or return the call I called twice and got no response.

User has disconnected service. I try again. And again. And again. Each red notification is another twist of the knife. She… she's really, truly gone. She even got rid of her number. What does that mean? It means she never wants to see me again. It means I'm already dead to her. The call won't even connect. Just a cold, robotic voice: "The number you have dialed is no longer in service..." I collapse onto the floor, holding my head and sobbing.

I couldn't help but take out my phone and call Patrick. The system voice quickly came from the other side of the phone, "The number you have dialed is not in the service area or it has been turned off..."
