Synopsis
This story centers around a phone call that was received one Friday in the spring of 1992. The main protagonist is an eleven year old girl. Being the only person at home, she is the one to answer the phone. The call arrives from another state delivering news of a death. It is this call that seemingly disintegrates the country and the girl’s entire re- ality. The war that will ravage the country has already started but the war is not the center of this story, only its backdrop. This call, which brought news of her grandfa- ther’s death, remains as the most vivid memory in the girl’s mind decades later, as a constant presence.
