This is strange... This is neither my house, nor my idea of Heaven....

And... when did phones gain such keyboards, aside from the obvious TTY machines, for the deaf? I'm not deaf... I can hear the Ocean, roaring in my ears, even now...

I don't think I'm buried in the desert, anymore...

So... what is this strange place?

And... why am I in... such pain...?

Yes, thank you... I had already... figured as much... for myself. Or even Arkansas... /That's/ where I'm from, originally... though my mom moved us to California after dad left... Better opportunities, she said...

[his voice is clearly growing weaker as he continues to talk, and he gasps for air after finishing that long - if broken-up - explanation!]

I /was/ buried... in the California desert... last I checked...

Is this..... Hell? I must be in Hell.... though I don't... know what... I've done... to deserve it... I /tried/ to help the Man, I really did.....! Honest! The hourglass... ran too low, I suppose....!

[he gasps again, and coughs, weakly]

	Stay quiet and leave the phone on. I'm coming to find you, okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Neil nods, almost in a daze, at the phone, then remembers his keyboard, and types a text -a mass text again, but still...] All right. I'm not going anywhere, never fear about //that// [...] but... How do you intend to find me by this phone? Is it a [...] satellite system, or something of the sort? (Reply to this) (Parent)
