I have to admit, i have defiantly been between the “should I call again? Or is that too many times?” sort of deal. Not so fun. But this is defiantly a great piece. The tone is very real, and has a guilty undertone to it.
I also really like the ending when the character bluntly states the reality of the situation.
And Cartagan is right, you deserve a hug. Even if this isn’t real, something had to inspire it…. so hug :)
Excellent piece. Very easy to identify with. Even when I don’t tell my friends about something that’s bothering me it’s still great to be around then, for just the reason your protagonist states. Trying to figure out what’s too much, or too soon, or why ‘they’ are not responding, and so on is an agonizing thing to be sure.
