The World After: Chapter One

You slightly shift over into the phone attached to the wall. You pick up the phone, pull out the Yellow Book in a nearby cabinet. You skim to find the AT&T phone number. You punch in the numbers and wait for the phone to start ringing.

Nothing.

"Wait the hell is going on?" you mutter. You slam the battered phone back onto its mount and pull out your cellphone. You punch in the same numbers and an automated voice begins to speak, "Sorry...Joshua Rooks...you have run out of minutes. Try again after paying..."

The phone turns off.

You realize something must be wrong and decide to go check the antenna outside.
