The sharp teeth of a steak knife bit into grey coating. My thumb pulsing as thoughts rumbled. Damn cats! Bet it was Hammy who chewed through them. Peeling down both halves, multicolored stems sprouted out. Simple, this looks simple enough. Pulling back each to match its partner on the other end that snaked along, leading to a box laying on the floor. Travelling into the wall and disappeared out into the real. Taking all the copper guts and twisting and pinching as fibers pricked my fingertips. There, that should work. Up the screen popped. Connect, click. A silent yes, ran through my brain. The shrill ping and sharp eardrum piercing whirring, progressed while the yellow man walked to make its way to the next box. Perfect, shooing the two kittens that dared to venture too close to the spliced phone cord with my foot. The dead time just before connection, brought a smile across my face. Resting in the chair, proud now, far from the pure panic moments ago. Not able to contain myself, I spoke aloud with the greeting as “You got mail” droned through the speakers.
