The Nature Of The Emergency

"Emergency services, which emergency service do you require?"


A lot of the calls I get are nothing.


"Help me" she said.


They're butt dials, or prank calls, or just people wasting my time.


"Yes, what's going on, what help do you need?"


But some calls...


"He's gone insane" she said.


You do them by the book.


"Do you need medical or police assistance?"


Every review and manager will assure you that you did the right thing.


"OH MY GOD NO" she screamed.


But they still haunt you, because someone needed you, and you failed them.


"Sorry, wrong number" he said.
