Feeling like there's something I missed.
10:07pm.
The phone rang 4 times before my sister picked up.
It was a man. An older man that sounded like my father. "I'm...having...a heart attack..."
My sister face went white. "...What?"
"This...this is dad...call 911...help me..."
"Oh my god, I'm calling, I'm calling right now."
She hung up the phone and ran out of her room to get my mom. My mom called 911, gave all of Dad's information, my sister crying hysterically, myself in shock, trying to remain calm for Alissa. My mom hung up and gave the phone to me. "Dial for me, call Dad." my sister said.
The phone was ringing, and my sister listened. I heard my Dad say "Hello?"
"Are you okay, Dad?"
"Yeah I'm fine, what's going on?"
Oh my god, it wasn't him.
I checked the caller ID and saw a strange unavailable number as the last call. I called 911 and asked them to cancel the ambulance to my dad's house and get one to this number. They said they would try to call first. My mom, my sister, and I sat and stared. The phone rang again. It was the Douglas police. They said no one answered. They would try to trace the call. That's all they can do.
It's all we can do.
For this one man's life.
We can only pray.
