The Operator's Call

A man haunted by guilt discovers a series of phantom payphones appearing throughout his city. Each time one is answered, the caller is driven to a horrific, public suicide. Obsessed with uncovering the truth, he devises a plan to hear the deadly message without falling prey to its curse. But the voice on the other end isn't a monster—it's something far more personal and insidious, a whisper of regret that promises an eternity of silence. He sought an answer, but all he found was a slow, agonizing dial tone to his own demise.
