Metals sheared with metals

Hazel Michelson

“did you miss me?” I asked again with teasing smile.

“Are you sick hazel”. He said with astonishment. And I held back my laugh.

“yes I am very sick husband and you are my cure so come home early this evening. I am waiting for you”. I said with a smile.

But before he can answer I heard a loud bang. One moment he was in he phone and the next all I could hear was the windows shattering. Then I heard the metals grating with each other. Then I heard many screams and voices then there was complete silence.

“Will”? I said on the phone.

“William Are you there”? I asked again but no response.

“husband why are you not answering? What is this sound?” I asked but no one replied. My heart was beating very fast. I looked at the phone. The call was disconnected long ago.

Over and over again I called into phone but no one picked it.
