Numbers You Should Never Call Novels & Stories

I took my phone from the ground and gulped. "Uhmm why are you calling me?" I asked carefully. "Did you take a taxi? I was going to drive you home but I don't see you at the lobby." He said and I sighed. "Uhmmm yeah.. I did so.. no worries." I said quickly. "Okay then." He said and I quickly pressed the red button. I quickly saved his number as 'Don't Answer This Number' because I don't want to talk to him or even answer his call. I turned off my phone and I just casually watch a movie.

"We all have to sit in a circle and take turns counting from number one to twenty one." Maya and I glanced at each other because this game sounded really easy. "Well, in this game...we all have to remember a bunch of made up rules and whenever a person says twenty one, we'd yell cheers to the governor and take a sip from our drinks. The person that said twenty one would pick any number and replace it with a rule." He explained. "The numbers that can not be changed into rules are 6,7,8,13,14 and 15."

Zoe checked the caller ID, which had no name attached. She considered answering but remembered her husband’s advice from yesterday. Unknown numbers could be scam calls. With that in mind, Zoe decisively declined the call. However, the caller was persistent and called again shortly after.

I dialed his phone number again but I heard the same statement on the other line, "The number is now unattended." I can feel my heartbeat racing. I opened the message box right away and started typing. "Sorry, I wasn't able to answer your call. Please call me back once you read my message. I would be very happy to finally talk to you. Please call me." End of message. "Are you okay? I am really worried now. Are your parents okay? Talk to me." Annie begged. "I am so stupid. He was calling me a while ago. I forgot to save his phone number last night and he was calling me twice. I didn't answer his calls because I thought it was a spam call."

Nathan said "Don't forget about the contract" Alex said when Nathan's phone started ringing. Nathan took out his phone and received the call without seeing the id "You cheap, fraud. How could you do this?" A girl shouted angrily Nathan moved the phone from his ear and looked at the id. He saw it was an unknown number. "Ex-cause me. I think you have dialed the wrong number" Nathan said "I didn't dial any wrong number, Nathan Knight. How could you forget so that soon?" The girl asked angrily

His phone had been on silent mode because of the meeting. “Who could this be?” Seth's mind flashed to Beatrice, it could be possible that the children were in some sort of danger. “Mtchew.” He hissed on seeing an unknown number. “Why is an unknown number calling me twenty times? It's probably one of the many girls who throw themselves at me.” He didn't need any other thing spoiling his mood today, so he decided to ignore it. He removed the phone from silent mode and placed it on the table.

“For your business number, dummy. I got you a 310 area code and 3000 as the last four digits, you’re welcome.” “What do I need a business number for?!” “There’s this thing called ‘the Yellow Pages,’ not to mention the internet. G****e Maps, Yelp – is any of this ringing a bell?” “Sebastian, this is pointless. I’m a joke, a punch line, a dirty picture on the internet. Nobody’s going to hire me.” “Really? Perhaps I should call your first client back and tell him that.” My heart actually stopped for a second. “…what?”

Rule number one about taking calls, never speak first. Callan’s voice resonated in my head and I didn’t say squat waiting for the fucker at the end of the line to speak. “Buddy, yes yes don’t go all commando on me, I have some friends in town hall who can get anyone’s home telephone number in the spur of the moment. Listen that thing we talked about, being the alphas of our homes? It’s time we got our inner spark so what do you say me, you, Billy and a couple of guys from the neighborhood go camping?”

Number 1 remained silent, his stoic expression unyielding, a stark contrast to the growing chaos. Number 9 let out a weary sigh. "Ever since my real name got leaked, I've been bombarded with messages. I think I'm done here. But let me say this, it was fun until you, Number 5, Number 7, and you, Number 1, started your secret machinations. Go to hell, all of you. I'm not going to jail because of your actions!" With that, he disconnected, leaving a heavy silence in his wake. One by one, the remaining members also vanished into the digital void, leaving the virtual world eerily silent.

"This is Jonathan's private number. I can't guarantee that he'll answer you, but I'm not going to give the money back." Angela eagerly made the call. No one answered the first or second time. Angela almost cried with frustration when she thought of the 900 thousand that she had just transferred over. Finally, the call was answered on her tenth try. On the other end, Jonathan had just had a shower. He had come out to see that he had nine missed calls. He would have ignored them, but the tenth call came at that exact moment. He said, "Hello?" "Jonathan, I want to make a deal with you—"
