The mysterious voice in the dark
We were only into the first mile of our 12 mile run this morning when this conversation commenced between my running partner SuLynn and I. Remember we are in the middle of nowhere and it is dark at 5 a.m.
her: Did you hear that?
me: It sounded like a horn.
1 minute later...
her: Do you hear that?! (she looks up at the mountain)
me: Maybe it's a cow.
her: It's not a cow!
30 seconds later...
her: Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
she grabs me by the arm and we sprint to the other side of the road.
me: What's going on!?!?
her: Someone just said hello to me!
we are sprinting as fast as we can because we can still hear him talking. Just then I hear someone say hello and we both think we are being chased.
me: I don't see anyone
We are still booking it. 30 seconds later...
her: It's your phone!!!! (she wears a pack around her waist that we carry my phone in)
me: It's a flip phone it can't be calling anyone it's not open.
We slow down still nervous to stop running.
30 seconds later...
her: It's your phone.
We stop, pull out the phone, and sure enough it was calling my parents. It was on speaker and calling them over and over. Don't ask me how. My dad had answered hence the mysterious male voice. As our heart rates went back to normal I called home and apologized for the 5 a.m. wake up call and for making them worry.
30 seconds later...
her: turn of your stupid phone.
A scary experience, but we know we will look back on this and laugh.
