Discussion of "The Call - Chapter 3" by TomTen3001

Wow. I absolutely love this! You have such a talent. I got shivers at the mention of MIT. Adds a whole new layer! I think I shall have to sleep on this and re-read it before I even endeavor to add to it. I have some ideas....have you read the book, I tink it's called "Without Us" written by some scientist about what would happen to the world, day by day, month by month and year by year if humans alone suddenly disappeared? Reminds me of this.

Thanks! Haven't read "Without Us," but know it. I realized, too, after publishing it, that you were probably thinking that Becky had a cell phone from someone from Massachusetts, which would make sense -- that she would borrow it from someone in the "white room" -- but the origination of the "Call" was just too intriguing. I'm also reading/listening to "Cell" by Stephen King, so the New England reference was eerie in that way, as well.

Having reread, must note two typos ... One, that I-90 is 3,100 miles from Seattle to Boston (I had originally typed, "Seattle, Washington," and then decided to just say "Seattle" ... but Washington must have stayed stuck in my typing fingers). The second, "waling" should be "wailing". Just hate typos!

I am really drawn in here. This reminds me of my favorite series, "Left Behind." Which details what it would be like if the Rapture occured right now. Once the dog became a part of the story it made me think of the movie, I Am Legend.

Another perfect installment. Excellent!
