Hello?
“Hi. Yeah. Um. I’m calling about the lost cat posters that I’ve seen around the neighborhood.”

What?
“I was just calling to see if you found your cat. But, it sounds like you haven’t.”
No. I haven’t. Is this some kind of joke?
“No.”
Why would you call unless you’d found the cat?
“I dunno. I’d seen them around for a few weeks and I guess I just wanted…”
Wanted what?
“Closure, I guess.”
Freak.
“Sorry to both-”
