This Phone Will Explode at the Tone
by Lindsay Price Canadian Author
The phone. The most beautiful, the most wonderful communication device in all the world. Or is it...
Without the phone there'd be no obscene callers, no chatty Cathys who won't shut up, telemarketers who think the sun rises and sets with carpet cleaning, no awkward silences, no pressure to have an interesting phone message with all the bells and whistles.
And there'd be no Harry.
Poor Harry. Poor sweet desperate Harry, desperately trying to get up the nerve to call a girl and ask her to the dance. Don't hang up on Harry. Don't you dare! Don't do it!
