I love it, mate, I was expecting a train disaster the whole time, like the attacks on the London underground, and yet i should have known better from your title.

May I ask what the language used by the parents is? I’m curious.

I’m glad it appealed to you. That would be Russian – it translates loosely to “Idiot! How could you not pick up the phone like that! How is it possible, to scare-”

A typical Russian reaction, at least in my family, even in the absence of natural or unnatural disaster.

Interesting that you chose to write ‘he’ when this was supposed to be about you. You removed yourself from the story in an effort to NOT experience it. :)
I wouldn’t want this to happen to me either!
I also didn’t know what to expect, and couldn’t have predicted a plan crash.
Oh and, thanks for translating!

I feel so… psychoanalized – I guess my subconscious took the lead on that story!
