So, Who is Jennifer and why do people keep calling her on my [View all]

cell phone?

I've had the same cell phone number for six years now. I use an old flip phone, and use that number only as a number to call out from if it's really necessary. Nobody calls me on it, because I don't give out that number. I'm old-fashioned about phones. I use them to make phone calls.

Still, the phone rings at least four or five times a day. Sometimes there's a text. Sometimes there's voicemail. Those are always for Jennifer. There's a bill collector who keeps calling her. She is apparently also in default on her student loan payments. When she had that number, she also must have had some pretty awful boyfriends, too, because they're not very nice in their voicemails. They call her all sorts of ugly names.

But, it has been six years since that number was hers. You'd think people would give up. I've tried a couple of times and called the originating numbers to let the people know that Jennifer is no longer at that number. They don't care. The people wanting their money just keep calling and threatening to do awful things if she doesn't pay up. I haven't tried calling any of the old boyfriends. They don't sound like nice people at all.

Six years. Sometimes I get photos sent as texts. It's hard to see them clearly, though, on a flip phone's tiny screen. I can't quite make them out. One of her old boyfriends, though, sent a pretty nasty one. I'm not sure if he was trying to remind her of what she's missing or simply illustrating his shortcomings.

What fun! I can't wait to see what comes in next.
