                               The Persistant FAX
                                        
Ring.

Is that the alarm clock? I thought.

Ring.

Oh, it's the phone. Still half alseep I reached over and answered the phone.
“Hello?”

Beep.

Beep.

Beep. Great, I thought. Someone dialed the wrong number and I'm talking to a
fax machine. I hung up and went back to sleep.

A few minutes later. Ring.

Ring.

I pick up the phone. “Hello?”

Beep.

Beep.

I hung up again. Went back to sleep. A few minutes later.

Ring.

Ring.

I answer the phone.

Beep.

Beep.

I hung up.

Three more times that happened. Three! Almost made me wish I had a fax
machine just to accept the fax, then fax back “WRONG NUMBER!”
