What’s the weirdest phone call you have ever received?

I'm sorry to bother you, my staff just told me our guy corrected his information and had a number off for his home phone. Have a good day. Hangs up.

After a few moments he returns.

I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.

Why do humans sweat while stressed?

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.

HELLO

What is the most heartbreaking or sad love story that you ever had (experienced)?

Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?

Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.

Yes sir it is.

What do you think of the controls that will be set up over information flows at Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs' missions?

ATTENTION SPIKES UP. What could he want with me? Did I do something wrong? Lord did I forget to pay something? Questions start flying through my head. What would the detention center sheriff want with me?

Sure no problem officer.

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??

What is your opinion? I am 150-152 and I feel short. I’m 15 years old. I feel like this makes me look like a baby and ugly on most clothes.

Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?

Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.

How do I write a character’s physical description without it feeling unnatural and clunky? I’m able to describe their hair and body relatively easily because my writing puts emphasis on small movements and fidgeting, but I can’t describe faces.

No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.

I was trying to reach out to you because we have a Mr X here, who claims you are his legal guardian. He needs you to come down and sign some forms.
