Uncomfortable Times Beget Uncomfortable Thoughts

I had a phantom phone call tonight.

The phone rang, I answered and said hello; about 2 seconds later they hung up without having said anything.

I figure most people get phantom calls now and then, once in a blue moon. And I figure most of the time they're nothing to be concerned about, something not given a second thought.

But then, if there is something bad/weird/uncomfortable going on in my life I view them differently.

I'm suddenly thinking was it him, was it her? That leads to wondering why they would be calling ... have they fought and he has no-one else to turn to again, is he in the pit again, does he want to discuss the settlement/debt, is she worried about his trustworthiness again and so on and so on ad nauseum.

Then some sense of rationality comes forth and realises he usually rings on my mobile, so it's likely it wasn't him.

So was it her, or just some phantom call that deserves no further attention.

I don't know, guess I never will.

I really don't like that bit.
