I called the number on the screen.
Crisis Central
by Sally Law
I never would have thought to dial a total stranger.
After days of crying, I finally called Crisis Central.
The comforting voice came on the line, sponging away my anxiety.
"This is your counselor, Beelzebub."
"May I call you, Bub?"
"Certainly."
I poured my heart out, with confessions of Christmas cookie consumption.
I heard a click. "To continue your $100 per minute session, please press one. Today's session totals $6,000."
Amazingly, I was instantly cured!
