I called the number on the screen.
Crisis Central by Sally Law
75 Words Flash Fiction contest entry



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!
