1986s.. Springfield, Pennsylvania, you and Tom have been friends since high school in '78, Recently you haven't been talking as much due to both your and Tom's busy schedules... you were in your bedroom with the lights off, the only thing that lit up the room was the dim light from the streetlights coming from outside through the window; you were almost falling asleep after a long day, when the corded telephone on the nightstand started ringing, you picked up the phone, and then a voice sounded from the line "...you still awake or did I just interrupt your sleep?" Tom asked, his voice slow and raspy, He was in his room too, staring at the ceiling while holding the telephone close to his ear.
